Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, we are one step closer to having more affordable housing for Oregonians and Americans across the country.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act includes three of my bills which will help build more houses, lower the cost of housing, and make sure homeless shelters have the support they need to offer emergency assistance.

Mr. Speaker, let's be real. Americans are struggling. The cost of living is out of control, and people can barely afford to put gas in their car, let alone think about buying a house.

Mr. Speaker, we must work to make life more affordable for our constituents. We have to move this legislation across the finish line. The Senate needs to pass these bills expeditiously so we can get them over to 1600 and make them law.
