Representative Steve Stivers (R-OH) was named ranking member of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing, Community Development, and Insurance on October 17. The Subcommittee is responsible for overseeing HUD, including HUD’s affordable housing and public housing programs, as well as rural housing, community development programs, the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and government-sponsored insurance programs like the National Flood Insurance Program.
As ranking member, Representative Stivers will be responsible for working with Subcommittee Chairman Lacy Clay (D-MO) on creating bipartisan legislation to address some of the country’s most pressing housing concerns, including housing finance reform and the shortage of affordable and available rental housing. NLIHC congratulates Ranking Member Stivers on his appointment, and we look forward to working with him, Chairman Clay, and the rest of the Subcommittee to advance legislation that ensures people with the lowest incomes have access to affordable, accessible, and decent homes.
