MBA Joint Letter to House and Senate Leadership on Averting Shutdown, Reauthorizing NFIP

The undersigned organizations are encouraged by the headway Congress is making in the appropriations process, and the measures you are considering to ensure the continuity of government operations. That progress is greatly appreciated as the stakes are high. In these challenging economic times, the ability to access and preserve affordable housing opportunities is critical to all Americans. Therefore, our organizations urge you to redouble your efforts and support the ability to pursue the American dream of property ownership and access to quality, rental housing by 

extending the authority of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and ensuring other vital housing programs do not lapse on November 17th.
