The package includes Cassidy\u2019s priorities to support veterans, boost disaster recovery, and make housing affordable again. All are major Louisiana priorities that Cassidy worked to secure.\n\n\u201cFamilies are working hard, doing everything right, and still can\u2019t afford a home,\u201d said Dr. Cassidy. \u201cThe wins I helped secure in this bill help make that dream of homeownership achievable.\u201d\n\nProvisions Cassidy helped champion for Louisiana in the ROAD to Housing Act:\n\nLegislation to fix a broken disaster recovery system that has left Louisiana families waiting too long for help. The legislation strengthens HUD\u2019s disaster recovery grants, improves federal coordination, and establishes a dedicated office to ensure communities can rebuild faster and stronger.\n\nLegislation to ensure disabled veterans\u2019 benefits don\u2019t count against them when applying for housing assistance. The legislation includes provisions to support other related housing needs.\n\nLegislation to unlock additional private capital for affordable housing and community development in rural Louisiana communities. This legislation is market-driven, deregulatory, and directly beneficial to the state.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-03-30T11:08:25Z"]], "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://www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cassidy-advances-senate-legislation-to-make-housing-more-affordable-secures-three-key-louisiana-priorities/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.679892186075449, "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"}
