NFHA applauds Senate passage of the Appraisal Modernization Act!
This bill will require lenders to standardize the consumer’s right to appeal an appraisal and ensure that all homebuyers have a fair chance to build wealth through #homeownership.

President Trump’s HUD has gutted fair housing protections, rolling back regulations, cutting grants, and firing staff who enforced the Fair Housing Act.
Our elders bled for protections for people of color, people with disabilities, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ folks.

The Republican funding bill for the Department of Housing and Urban Development cuts funding for civil rights enforcement by 67%.
I offered an amendment to remove these cuts, and protect all Americans from housing discrimination.
