Bipartisan Congressional Caucus Targets Housing Supply, Affordability
Industry associations on Monday applauded the establishment of the new Bipartisan Congressional Real Estate Caucus, which will address the lack of housing affordability and inventory nationwide. Reps. Mark Alford (R-MO), J. Luis Correa (D-CA), Tracey Mann (R-KS) and Brittan Pettersen (D-CO) were credited with launching the new initiative.
Topping the caucus’ agenda is housing supply. “Homeownership is a bipartisan issue, and we applaud these members of Congress for forming a caucus to work across the aisle to make housing more accessible,” the National Association of Realtors said in a statement. “We look forward to working closely with this group to further advance our advocacy efforts to increase the housing supply and help individuals from all backgrounds find a path to homeownership.”
Other trade groups that endorsed the caucus’ establishment include the National Association of Home Builders, the Mortgage Bankers Association, the American Land Title Association, National Apartment Association, U.S. Mortgage Insurers, National Multifamily Housing Council, Asian Real Estate Association of America, American Property Owners Alliance, Leading Builders of America and Nareit.
