August 2, 2017 The Honorable Mike Crapo Chair, Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Sherrod Brown Ranking Member, Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs U.S. Senate Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Jeb Hensarling Chair, Committee on Financial Services U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Maxine Waters Ranking Member, Committee on Financial Services U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairs Crapo and Hensarling and Ranking Members Brown and Waters: We, the undersigned 1,036 organizations, write to express our support for the national Housing Trust Fund (HTF) and to urge Congress to protect and expand this critical resource. The HTF is the first new federal housing resource in a generation, and it is exclusively targeted to help build and preserve housing that is affordable to people with the lowest incomes. In 2016, the first $174 million in HTF dollars were allocated to states. Because the HTF is administered as a block grant, each state has the flexibility to decide how to best use HTF resources to address its most pressing housing needs. Most states have chosen to use their HTF investment to build and preserve affordable rental housing for extremely low income veterans, seniors, people with disabilities or special needs, and people experiencing homelessness. While this initial round of funding is an important first step, far more resources are necessary to meet the need. In every state and community, growing numbers of extremely low income renters are struggling to make ends meet. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, there is a shortage of 7.4 million rental homes affordable to the nation’s 11.4 million extremely l ow income renters. This means that for every 100 extremely low income households, there are just 35 rental homes that are affordable and available to them. As a result, 71% of extremely low income households are severely cost burdened, paying more than half of their limited income on rent. These families are forced to make difficult choices between paying rent and buying groceries, seeing a doctor, or saving for college or a rainy day. In the worst cases, they become homeless. Investments through the HTF are more important now than ever before. We urge you to work with your colleagues to protect and expand the HTF to serve more families with the greatest needs. Sincerely,
