Protect the Environment & Promote Energy Efficiency

Congressman Butterfield believes that homeownership is essential to achieving the American Dream.  Homeownership constitutes the bulk of wealth for the majority of American households and represents an important stepping stone into the American middle class.

You Should Know

Congress must foster an economic climate that encourages homebuilders, homebuyers, and renters to remain active and engaged.  Government subsidized housing must remain available for low-income Americans who need affordable housing.
