NALHFA Executive Director Jonathan Paine was recently interviewed by HousingWire on the U.S. House of Representatives’ proposed FY27 funding levels for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In the interview, Paine emphasized that cuts to rental assistance, affordable housing investment, and homelessness assistance programs would reduce communities’ ability to leverage public and private capital at a time when housing costs remain historically high.

“Congress should prioritize policies and investments that increase housing production, preserve existing affordable housing and provide local communities with flexible tools to address their unique housing challenges,” Paine said.
