Improving housing opportunities are a top priority for Congresswoman Clarke and she has fought the Trump administration's efforts to cut back funding for housing subsidies and Section 8 for renters. She knows the housing situation in Brooklyn is in dire straits and that providing federal assistance is extremely critical to fixing the housing crisis.

Here is a snapshot of bills introduced by Congresswoman Clarke on Housing:

H.R.5200 - Hardest Hit Housing Act of 2018, which will provide additional funding for the public housing Capital Fund for large public housing agencies, for mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance, and for incremental rental assistance vouchers, and for other purposes.
H.R.4403 - Homeowner Disaster Relief Act of 2014, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to waive the 10-percent penalty on qualified natural disaster distributions from qualified retirement plans.
