NFHA continues to call on Congress to provide oversight to ensure HUD distributes appropriated funds as Congress intended.

Listen to Rep. Panetta’s remarks here (starting at 2:51:32): www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub4U...

Yesterday the U.S. House Budget Committee held a hearing on the Pres. FY27 Budget Request. Special thanks to Rep. Jimmy Panetta for highlighting the administration’s attempts to unlawfully withhold Fair Housing Initiative Program funds, and NFHA’s litigation to compel HUD to release FHIP funding.

Fair housing and fair lending laws were enacted to ensure equal access to foundational economic rights. These protections exist because discrimination did - and still does - shape who gets opportunity in America. #SOTU2026

Despite the President’s cont. promises, in reality the Admins actions cont. to cause chaos, fear, insecurity & dysfunction. Instead of providing the nation w/practical solutions to the housing crisis, they’re removing rungs on the ladders of opportunity. #SOTU2026

If the Trump Administration wants to bring down the cost of housing for everyday people, they should stop attacking our nation’s fair housing and lending laws. Fair housing laws exist to ensure markets work fairly for everyone. #SOTU2026

Well, the President continues to promise one thing, while doing the opposite. Housing is fundamental to the American Dream and the people of America wanted elected leaders to implement solutions to ensure they can fairly access opportunity. #SOTU2026

Trump does not simply want voters to verify who they are. That already happens in every state under threat of criminal penalty. What he wants is to force Americans to show forms of ID that millions do not possess in order to keep them from voting.

What’s he afraid of? YOUR VOTE.

All talk and no action: instead of addressing the issues fueling the fair and affordable housing crisis, the Administration has engaged in a series of actions that follow the destructive Project 2025, implementing nearly 70% of its housing and lending recommendations. #SOTU2026

An infographic featuring a pink-tinted image of Donald Trump pointing. Large, bold text states, "This year, average health care premiums doubled for 20,000,000 Americans." Below, it asks "Why?" and explains, "Because President Trump and Congress failed to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits." The CAP logo is in the bottom right corner.

FACT CHECK: average premium costs for 20 million Americans doubled this year—an entirely preventable consequence of President Trump and Congress’ failure to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits. https://ampr.gs/47hglcD

Speaking of your tariffs, Mr. President: you said the tariffs would chip away at costs, instead they drove up the costs of appliances, lumber, and other building materials making new homes cost $17,500 more. #SOTU2026

Attempts to distort the reality of civil rights progress won’t erase the truth. This country moves forward when we confront inequality, not when we pretend it never existed. #SOTU2026

Let’s be clear Mr.President: DEI initiatives are policy tools designed to create fair opportunities where none previously existed. They correct systemic gaps, expand access, and strengthen the nations’s workforce and institutions. #SOTU2026

As the President boasts that we are in the “golden age of America,” the people of America are in the throes of a fair and affordable housing crisis. We’re at near record fair housing complaints, and record number of households spend more than 30% of their incomes on rent. #SOTU

HUD is proposing rule changes that will make it more difficult to enforce the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and ensure that housing is fair and accessible to all people.

We have a chance to stop it.

NFHA condemns in the strongest terms the Trump Admin's horrific recent immigration enforcement actions that have sown fear, destabilized communities, and resulted in yet another tragic loss of life of a Minneapolis resident.

Thank you @RepRashida for highlighting the HUD whistleblower complaint that calls attention to HUD and @secretaryturner.bsky.social unlawful refusal to fully enforce the Fair Housing Act.

Financial Services GOP Hearing Entitled: Oversight of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Federal Housing Administration

TY @algreen.house.gov! HUD under @secretaryturner.bsky.social's leadership has gutted its fair housing infrastructure. The #FairHousingAct must be enforced to protect disabled veterans, victims of sexual & physical violence, families w/children, & more from housing discrimination. bit.ly/45nmh2o

Hearings | U.S. House Committee on Financial Services

As @repfields.bsky.social questioning highlights, members of Congress have been active in trying to hold HUD and @secretaryturner.bsky.social accountable for how it is undermining the effective enforcement of the Fair Housing Act.

@secretaryturner.bsky.social, White communities have access to over $15 trillion more in capital because of racialized appraisal practices, and appraisal bias caused homes in Black neighborhoods in 113 metro areas throughout the U.S. to be devalued by $162 billion. bit.ly/45nmh2o

During Wednesday’s Shadow Hearing on housing affordability, NFHA EVP @nikitrabailey.bsky.social called for stronger oversight of @HUD. She explains how, under @secretaryturner.bsky.social, HUD has failed to enforce fair housing laws and is advancing proposals that weaken protections. bit.ly/3LQPxI6

#ICYMI NFHA’s Special Counsel for Civil Rights, Sasha Samberg-Champion shared testimony at yesterday’s Spotlight Forum led by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Watch highlights from his remarks. #fairhousing

The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking released by the CFPB would eviscerate longstanding fair lending and consumer protections in three dangerous ways:

It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan.

Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination.

Take 45 seconds today to say "No way." nationalfairhousingalliance.salsalabs.org/ecoaregb/ind...

Join NFHA & @warren.senate.gov in sounding the alarm on the Trump Admin's plan to gut the law that gave women access to credit without the need of a male co-signer. This Admin is trying to set us back generations. We only have until 12/15 to act. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/4pwy1aD.
