“in addition, it provides greater flexibility for cities and towns across the country to utilize HOME dollars to promote homeownership. Sometimes it is as easy as extending the wastewater and the water system another 15 blocks. Think how far that goes in California or a small town in Nebraska where they only have two blocks, and another block means you get 10 more houses there. That is 10 more families. That is 50 more kids for a school that is on life support. Now they have housing. I am very proud of the committee I serve on. I am proud of the way we work in a bipartisan manner. I want my career in Congress to be experiences like this, and I thank Mr. Cleaver for everything that he has accomplished in Congress and look forward to a continued great relationship.”
