House Advances Fincher Bill to Protect Affordable Housing

Statement

Date: March 26, 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 Financial Services Committee passed the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act of 2015 (H.R. 650), important legislation to protect affordable housing:

"I'm pleased to see the Committee pass legislation that will help millions of Americans -- particularly those in rural areas -- have access to quality and affordable housing," said Congressman Fincher. "New regulations that don't recognize the uniqueness of the manufactured housing industry are taking housing options off the table for American families and negatively impacting those whose livelihood is connected to the industry. Today's vote puts us one step closer to providing financing options and regulatory relief to the families and individuals in the industry who rely on manufactured housing. I look forward to the full House passing this important bill as soon as possible."
