“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight housing week, as declared by me, in Nebraska. A recent survey by Lending Tree found that 94 percent of Americans identified owning a house as part of the American Dream, but just over half of those `` . . . who don't own a home say they're worried they never will.'' Next week, I will address a Workforce Housing Summit hosted by the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce. If we want to keep the American Dream alive, we must address the high cost of housing, help more Americans save for a downpayment, and break through other barriers. We must also take care of the housing stock in our communities. Later next week, I will be hosting a housing improvement meeting in Clarkson. This meeting will help brief community members about programs that can help weatherize and improve existing homes. Next week will be full of small, but important, steps toward addressing this shortage. While there is no silver bullet, through the work of local, State, and Federal partners, we can help more Americans find the home of their dreams. 100-Plus Days of Israel-Hamas War”
