AUG NIBJ: Tackling affordability and housing accessibility
Raphael Barta
I spent a week recently in Washington, D.C., meeting with various members of Congress. I am the federal political coordinator for Senator Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, which is a real estate lobbyist role on behalf of the National Association of Realtors.
In addition to Senator Crapo and Senator Jim Risch of Idaho, I was able to meet other members of Congress and their staff to discuss two important pieces of legislation that address housing issues.

The two pieces of legislation are the 21st Century ROAD Act, and the More Homes On The Market Act.
