Maggie Hassan and Chris Pappas urged President Donald Trump to sign a bipartisan housing bill, which he has said he will not sign until Congress passes a separate bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote. The housing measure targets large institutional homebuyers amid concerns about affordability.
Hassan and Pappas met with housing advocates in Manchester on Monday and called on Trump to sign the housing bill, which passed Congress with a veto-proof majority. Hassan said the bill could help lower housing costs, and Pappas said it would curb large investors’ purchases of single-family homes that can outbid private buyers. The article reports that Trump has said he will not sign it until Congress passes a different bill that includes a proof-of-citizenship requirement for voters.
The housing legislation would require corporate interests owning 350 or more homes to meet specific criteria before expanding their portfolios. Lawmakers removed a provision that would have required corporations developing single-family homes to sell them to individual buyers within seven years. Missouri Republican Rep. Mark Alford said the housing bill should stand alone, while also expressing support for voter integrity.
