From coast to coast, the foundation of a thriving community is affordable housing. Making sure hardworking families have a safe and reliable place to live is essential to economic growth and to quality of life. Unfortunately, a chronic lack of supply and soaring demand has deepened America’s affordable housing shortage. That is why Congress should enact the bipartisan bill — the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (AHCIA) — proposed by Reps. Darin LaHood (R-ILL.) and Suzan Delbene (D-WASH.). Every community in America is impacted by this crisis and the growing bipartisan support for the AHCIA shows it.
