Posts - Bill - HR 5651 Affordability and Fairness for Mountain Communities Act of 2025
house 09/30/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make housing assistance calculations more accurate and fair by allowing local governments to use ZIP Code-level income data, helping ensure that affordability programs better reflect the needs of mountain and rural communities. This approach aims to improve access to affordable housing for low-income and seasonal workers in these areas.

More government meddling—because nothing says ‘freedom’ like re-labeling income lines by zip code.
