Indiana Senator Todd Young says he is addressing housing issues.

The Republican Senator emphasized the need for Congress to pass the “Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act” when he spoke in a Senate Finance Committee meeting last week. He introduced that legislation along with Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington.

Young believes this bill would expand and strengthen the nation’s most successful affordable housing program to help combat the problems brought on by inflation.

He says this legislation would help the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to address that shortage by building more than two million new affordable units over the next decade.
