As your United States Congressman, I want to be an advocate for find ways to find affordable housing for those who need it.  This week, I hosted a roundtable discussion on affordable housing issues in Pine Bluff.  I am pleased that we are continuing to work to help families afford adequate housing.  And, also this week, I visited federal housing projects and met with representatives of the Housing Authorities at Camden and Lake Village.  I plan to continue working with these agencies to support their efforts to provide affordable housing for low-income families.  

As a member of the Committee on Financial Services in the United States House of Representatives, I have been able to work on a number of housing related bills that fall under the jurisdiction of the committee.  In fact, I am a cosponsor of a bill that would increase the mortgage loan limits under the National Housing Act for multifamily housing mortgage insurance, which would benefit low-to-moderate income and displaced families as well as the elderly.  

For many people in south Arkansas and across America, owning a home is a lifelong dream.   I am committed to working to help them achieve that dream.
