After the Senate passed it in March and the House amended it, both chambers approved the package following negotiations; it was then headed to the President for signature. Murkowski said the package could help address Alaska’s housing challenges, including those facing rural and Tribal communities, while acknowledging that some provisions did not make the final bill.
