So is our biggest problem a lack of housing, the variety of housing that we need?

I am concerned about property owners in my State who would falsely affirm their records.

Housing is one of the primary drivers of the inflation suffocating families' budgets and holding back our economy.

My issue has always been working in this field myself years ago that we put in these good faith efforts, but we missed the mark when it comes time to actually showing where the dollars went, where the contracts went.

The diversity of requests and I am thinking as you are talking about the various towns and how it is going to impact, because I do know that area, clearly, these are very legitimate and worthy projects that need to be considered on behalf…

I really believe that we are turning a corner as a country in terms of how we make sure that federal dollars benefit everybody and not just the fewer, the well-off.

Uplifting our working class families while lifting them up is vitally important.

No one wants to be homeless if they have an option.

Bringing down the high cost of living for American families has got to be our primary focus.

The importance of providing more housing in places Americans live and work and ensuring that there are roofs over their heads, of children and families, should be a central focus of this Congress.

For 3 years we have been trying to get that infrastructure built.

I stand firmly with the President on doubling that number of mental health professionals in our schools.

I am very encouraged by the President's proposed budget here, particularly as it relates to women's health care postpartum, pregnancy, disparities, children, you know, just all kinds of chock full of really good things.

I urge my colleagues to join me in voting for the motion to recommit.

I would hope that we would be trying to feed more people, not less here in America.

SNAP is the leading anti-hunger program in the nation. And according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the program reduces food insecurity by 30 percent.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania will be postponed. Amendment No. 12 Offered by Mr. Neguse The Acting CHAIR. It…

I simply say as we finalize this discussion, that there are 14.2 million people who are being affected, who will be affected, and who think this is important. There is a $22 billion economic activity that will be impacted. Needless to say…

Needless to say, I disagree with the premise of my wonderful colleague across the aisle. Mr. Chairman, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur), ranking member of the Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development.

I was hoping to ask what would happen to airports like the one in my district if Federal funding was set back to the 2022 levels.

I appreciated the fact that you not only saw the desperate need for a new terminal, but a new fire station, a new traffic control tower to accommodate the growing demand.

I love the idea that you all are focusing on low cost mortgages, mortgages that provide opportunities for first-time home buyers, low income home buyers.

I think that we undersupply affordable housing on so many different levels.

You address the most fundamental survival needs of those most in need.

It is good to see you, Madam Secretary, and it is good that you are in this position.
