U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland, II applauded House approval today of H.R. 3370, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act. This bipartisan legislation provides thousands of North and Northwest Florida homeowners with relief from dramatic flood insurance rate increases.

"I am pleased a bipartisan majority of the House has acted to continue putting the National Flood Insurance Program on a sustainable path while preventing dramatic flood insurance rate increases for coastal homeowners," said Southerland. "In providing a cost-neutral, fiscally-sound solution, this legislation will protect hardworking families from crippling premium increases. I look forward to the House and Senate coming together to provide long-term certainty for my constituents and ensure access to affordable flood insurance."
