“Anybody who cares about repairing what’s broken in American society understands that getting housing costs back in line with what working-class people can really afford is a mandatory step in that process,” said Jesse Van Tol, President and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC). “This important legislation may have an acronym that sounds like someone politely asking for your attention, but the tens of millions of families that can hardly make ends meet because of the issues AHEM addresses are ready to scream. I applaud Senator Warren and Representative Cleaver for continuing to push for a sensible and sustainable set of policies that would allow all Americans to thrive.”
