Fincher Bill to Protect Affordable Housing Passes House, Heads to Senate

Statement

Date: April 15, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Housing and Property

Today, Congressman Stephen Fincher (TN-08) released the following statement after the House passed his bipartisan bill to preserve access to financing for affordable manufactured housing:

"I commend my colleagues in the House for passing my bipartisan bill to protect financing options for the millions of Americans who rely on manufactured housing," said Congressman Fincher. "New regulations that fail to recognize the uniqueness of the manufactured housing industry are taking options off the table for low-income families."

"My bill has garnered a tremendous amount of bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress and I urge my Senate colleagues to vote on the companion legislation, S.682, as soon as possible. With millions of Americans still recovering from the fallout of the housing crisis, I am hopeful that the President will also support this bill so we can improve access to quality, affordable housing for consumers across the country."
