New Dems specifically called for a final fix to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit income averaging rule in our Action Plan to Fight Inflation.\n\n\u201cNew Dems know access to affordable housing is paramount to Americans\u2019 economic security and opportunities. That\u2019s why the New Democrat Coalition called for policies to build more affordable housing, improve access to capital for homebuyers, and lower housing costs in our Action Plan to Fight Inflation and recent letter to President Biden.\n\n\u201cWe welcome the Biden administration\u2019s actions to advance several pertinent New Dem recommendations to maximize the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, incentivize better zoning, planning, and permitting practices, promote affordable housing development including through transportation and infrastructure programs, and improve federal financing for affordable housing development and preservation, including multifamily housing construction. These actions will help build more affordable homes and lower housing costs for American families and workers. New Dems look forward to continuing to work with the administration to close our nation\u2019s affordable housing gap and addressing housing insecurity.\u201d\n\nThis Congress, New Dems released a comprehensive action plan to tackle the urgent challenge of inflation. This plan takes a multi-pronged approach to lower prices including actions to lower the cost of housing and increase affordable housing development, as well as strengthening supply chains to addressing labor shortages, reducing trade barriers, and making everyday necessities more affordable.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:20:33Z"]], "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://delbene.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3241"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7765830960124731, "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"}
