Reed

Reed has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.

The Preserving Homes and Communities Act (S.3753) and the Affordable Housing and Homeownership Protection Act (S.3754) address homeownership protections. The Property Improvement and Manufactured Housing Loan Modernization Act (S.964) would update lending rules for manufactured housing, and a bill to strengthen the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (S.965) targets federal coordination on homelessness.
