I'm really sad about the state of affordable housing in our country. This bill is supposed to help with that, but I'm not sure how effective it will be. It's important to address this issue, but I worry about the implementation and impact on communities. We need to do better for those struggling to find affordable housing. #HRBill891 #AffordableHousing #BigPicture
