CLPHA, Industry Partners and Over 700 National, State and Local Organizations Send Letter Asking Congress to Fully Fund Rental Assistance  

Share CLPHA’s Budget Request before House Appropriations Committee Meets Next Week

The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) applauds the permanent expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) that President Trump signed into law on Friday. This landmark achievement is a long-sought reform that provides public housing authorities (PHA) with a powerful tool to preserve, improve, and expand the nation’s affordable housing supply.

Today, House Republicans passed the mammoth reconciliation bill endorsed by President Donald Trump after a tumultuous 13 hours on the House floor. The bill passed by a vote of 218-214, with every Democrat and 2 Republicans voting against it. Senate Republicans passed the bill by a slim margin earlier this week, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie. President Trump is expected to host a signing ceremony for the bill tomorrow, which is an acknowledgment of accomplishing his goal of passing the legislation by the Fourth of July.  

Bill Includes Meaningful LIHTC and Child Tax Credit Expansion with Deep Social Safety Net Cuts
