Congressman Cedric Richmond

Representing the 2nd District of Louisiana

Access to Affordable Housing

For too many families, the rising cost of housing is a significant impediment to upward mobility. Access to quality, affordable housing is critical for low and middle-income families in Louisiana and throughout the country to make ends meet. I am a strong supporter of programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, Section 8 Housing, and the Public Housing Capital Fund. These programs help families obtain the affordable housing that is essential to realizing the American Dream.
