UPDATE: HR 4213 Gains 60 Votes Support BUT Does Not Include Housing Provisions

(Updated Information July 20, 2010) The Senate is now on the verge of passing H.R. 4213, which among its many provisions had once included $1B in funding for the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) and the extension of the 9 percent Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) exchange program.

Both provisions are now NOT part of the final legislation being voted upon today in the Senate. According to our advocates in Washington DC, we are hoping to see the Senate reconsider adding these provisions within another bill next week.
