In order to build units for the 6.4 million households with severe affordability problems, provide

It is important to sustain funding for public housing vouchers at the level of 100,000 per year, and to

fund expiring contracts on subsidized rental units.

Expansion of funding for low-income tax credits assures that a proven and effective program can be a

more substantial part of the rental housing equation.
