WASHINGTON, DC — Pointing out that there continues to be a shortage of affordable rental housing for low- and moderate-income households, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) has urged Congress to include a new rental housing production program as part of a comprehensive housing bill now pending in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Testifying on behalf of the NAHB in support of H.R. 3995, “Housing Affordability for America Act of 2002,” Robert Lawson, a home builder from Virginia Beach, VA, asked that the House Financial Services Committee focus on the needs of the 3.7 million households who are the “working poor.”
