Build Back Better Act

A Message From Columbia Housing's Chief Executive Officer, Ivory N. Mathews

This weekend, the Washington Post reported that housing programs could be "among the first to hit the cutting room floor" as Congress works to slim down the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act. WE NEED YOUR HELP! We must advocate fiercely for funding that could preserve and create housing affordability options in our communities and across the nation. 

I invite you to JOIN US in sending letters to Congress and the White House, urging them to keep the proposed $300 billion for housing and community development programs in the final version of the bill.
