Journal Article
HCD AND THE 113TH CONGRESS
2015
Overview
The 113th Congress were the second most unproductive Congress in history in terms of legislation passed and they presided over the third-longest government shutdown in history. However, this cynical yet popular view ignores many of the 113th Congress' accomplishments that had a measurable impact on housing and community development (HCD) programs, accomplishments to which NAHRO members directly contributed. Decision-making on prior budget and appropriations matters, especially the recent sequestration, had an enormous impact on the fate of HCD programs. In contrast, the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (T-HUD) bill provided more responsible funding levels for T-HUD programs and, if enacted, would have begun to restore some of the spending cuts that had been made to HCD programs in recent years. Consequently, the 113th Congress taught us that the power of our voice is strong, and that we must continue to press forward in this new year and with this new Congress.
