Summary
We understand the complexities that go into crafting a fiscally responsible budget
that promotes growth and stability and appreciate the hard choices that each department
must make. It is critical that in FY2015 the Administration makes a conscious effort to
support affordable rental housing programs that are not only supporting local jobs and
property taxes to states and municipalities, but also reduces government expenditures in
other programs and has positive impacts on the health and educational outcomes of lower
income households.
