Senate approves 5 billion housing bill to aid poor families
The Senate passed a 5 billion housing bill with a new program to help low income families buy homes or rent apartments. If enacted, it would subsidize mortgage interest for the poor and fund 85,000 starts on new and rehabilitated units and 80,000 rental units next year, though experts warn expenditures may be modest. The measure broadens federal aid to include urban renewal, public housing, transit, and flood insurance, with House action pending.
