Shaheen Applauds Senate Passage of Bipartisan Housing Package Including Three of Her Bills to Lower Housing Costs

(Washington, DC) - Today, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), applauded Senate passage of a bipartisan housing package to address the high cost of housing and increase the supply of affordable units in the Granite State and across the country. The 21st Century Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act includes three of Shaheen's bills-the Strategy and Investment in Rural Housing Preservation Act, the Streamlining Rural Housing Act and the Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative in Community Enhancement (PRICE) Act-that will preserve affordable rural housing, make it easier and less expensive to build new housing and protect lower-income renters. The bipartisan package now heads to the U.S. House of Representatives, where committee leaders have indicated their support.
