NAHB applauds reopening of federal government
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) said it supports the move made by President Donald Trump to reopen the federal government.
President Trump signed a bill on Jan. 25 that reopens multiple federal agencies until Feb. 15. The move puts a temporary end to the 35-day shutdown that impacted about 800,000 federal employees.
Randy Noel, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a custom home builder from LaPlace, La., today issued the following statement regarding the agreement between President Trump and congressional leaders to reopen the federal government:
NAHB Chairman Randy Noel.
“NAHB commends President Trump and congressional leaders for working together to reopen the government for three weeks while they tackle the issue of border security. At a time when the nation is facing a growing housing affordability crisis, the shutdown has exacerbated the situation by disrupting funding for important HUD housing programs. It is vitally important that Congress and the White House come to an agreement on securing our southern border to ensure the federal government remains open indefinitely.”
