With one year left in the 111th Congress, there are many crucial housing issues hanging in the balance.  This includes:  funding for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund; improvements to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program; regulatory reform of the financial services industry; preservation of multifamily rental housing; reform of the Section 8 Voucher Program; improvements to the Section 202 and 811 Programs; foreclosure assistance; the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; appropriations for core HUD programs; and much more.

How will the recent election of Senator-elect Scott Brown and the upcoming mid-term elections impact the agenda in Congress?  What will be the strategy to move these initiatives forward amid a challenging climate and the call for deficit reduction?  Come hear Congressman Barney Frank address these and other important issues.
