House acts to block rent subsidy funding in big bill
The House voted 185 to 162 to delete 180000 for starting a rent subsidy program for low income families from a 4.2 billion catch‑all appropriation bill. Administration officials expect funds to be restored later by the Senate and House. The measure would have paid owners and developers of nonprofit housing for up to 40 years based on tenants' ability to pay, with no payments to private landlords.
