Coan, Sr., Lifetime Achievement Award for Public Service from the National Housing Conference. Congressman Cleaver was presented the award, along with Congressman Mike Flood, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Housing & Insurance, at the NHC\u2019s Housing Visionary Awards Gala in Washington, D.C. for their work in helping pass the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, including the HOME Reform Act, the most significant housing proposal passed by Congress in nearly four decades.\n\n\u201cThe American people do not wish to see their elected officials bicker and grandstand when they go to Washington\u2014they want to see cooperation, compromise, and concrete solutions that will improve the lives of everyday Americans,\u201d said Congressman Cleaver. \u201cFrom day one of the 119th Congress, Chairman Flood and I have chosen to work together to deliver real results for those we represent. Because of that bipartisan commitment, we were able to work in partnership with Ranking Member Waters and Chairman Hill to pass the most significant housing reform package in nearly four decades. This award is recognition of the long hours and difficult road it took to arrive at this moment and I\u2019m grateful to the National Housing Conference, and its many member organizations, for helping pave the way. Together, we will continue pushing to expand access to affordable housing and revitalize the American dream for hardworking families in Missouri and all across this great nation.\"\n\nThe Carl A.S. Coan, Sr., Lifetime Achievement Award for Public Service recognizes their bipartisan leadership on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, including the HOME Reform Act, an effort to expand the nation\u2019s affordable housing supply at a time when millions of Americans face rising housing costs and limited availability.\n\nThe HOME Reform Act modernizes the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program, one of the primary tools used by states and localities to build and preserve affordable housing, by streamlining regulations, reducing administrative barriers, and strengthening public-private partnerships to help communities more efficiently develop housing and address the nationwide shortage.\n\nFounded in 1931, the National Housing Conference is the nation\u2019s oldest and broadest coalition of affordable housing stakeholders, with more than 300 member organizations spanning lending, homebuilding, affordable housing advocacy, real estate, nonprofit development, and housing finance.\n\nPhotos from the event are available here.\n\nNHC tribute video available here.", 1, "2026-07-14T07:08:55Z", "2026-07-14T07:10:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cleaver.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cleaver-receives-carl-coan-sr-lifetime-achievement-award"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8773368317633867, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
