PHOTOS: Sen. Schiff Tours San Diego Affordable Housing Complex, Urges Trump to Sign Landmark Legislation to Increase Housing Supply Across the Country, Lower Costs for Families

San Diego, CA – U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) toured Harrington Heights, an affordable housing development in downtown San Diego, where he discussed his efforts in Congress to tackle the housing affordability crisis. During the roundtable, Schiff emphasized the urgent need for President Trump to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act , the largest housing package in over 30 years designed to increase the supply of housing across the country and lower costs for families. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act includes provisions which Senator Schiff has pushed for to authorize the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program to get housing-related disaster assistance to communities recovering from natural disasters – this funding will be essential to families rebuilding following last year’s devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Last year, Schiff unveiled the Housing BOOM Act to spur a new boom in housing construction across the United States and help address the root causes of the housing affordability crisis. Earlier this month, the United States Conference of Mayors voted to endorse multiple housing bills written by Senator Schiff including the Housing BOOM Act and his bipartisan FIREWALL Act which would help lower disaster risks to homes. The endorsements were secured by the Conference’s new head, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria. View photos from the visit below: ###
