5. Indefinitely reauthorizes the HOME grant program and significantly expands the criteria for eligibility.
6. 7-year authorization of what had been an original Senate Pilot program to the Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) which authorizes HUD to provide grants to grantees like NGOs, government agencies, and other organizations to purchase trailer parks, on the condition that they charge “affordable” rent.
7. RAD Program: Authorizes the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program reauthorization (which the house removed) and increases the cap to 100,000 units. This program is terrible as it provides vouchers for localities to raise money to convert units into long-term section 8 housing.
8. Does nothing to limit Foreign Ownership: Similar to Rep. Stuebe’s amendment to the farm bill on FCOC and FEOC bans on agricultural land purchases, language should have been included for aforeign adversary ban on housing stock purchases… there is no language prohibiting a Chinese citizen or company from buying an American single-family home.
9. Does nothing to 1) Make Sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for housing grant funding. 2) or Codify Trump’s ‘Mixed Status’ rule, which prohibits the prorating of housing welfare and benefits to households with illegal or ineligible alien residents.
10. Keeps Eviction Moratorium: Included in the CARES Act, was a 30-day eviction moratorium. While most of the CARES Act sunsetted or has been repealed post-COVID, this provision remains on the books.

Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senate votes today on a House-approved Iran war powers resolution by Democrats blocking further U.S. military action without Congressional authorization. While the House approved this concurrent resolution 215-208 with 4 Republican voting Yes, it is mainly symbolic & a statement of the intent of Congress as it has no force of law & doesn’t require the President’s signature.
