“I am happy to strongly support this amendment, and I thank my colleagues for offering it. I want to make a comment on what is going on over at HUD. Secretary Carson assured our committee that Dreamers were not being denied FHA loans, that there was no change to the policy, no plan to change the policy. Now, HUD has confirmed that FHA will no longer make loans available to Dreamers. This is the latest in what is becoming a disturbing pattern of HUD telling Congress one thing and then doing another. They haven't been forthcoming, to say the least, on this issue. This amendment reverses that decision, that HUD decision that would effectively block a key part of the American Dream, homeownership, to this population. Dreamers are already in limbo, Mr. Chair. Let's not make these young people pay a further price for our failure to act. Mr. Chair, I thank my colleagues for the amendment and urge its adoption.”
