guest house. so it's not as common now as it used to be excellent all right. i have one more question for you. sorry i had to scroll down and now i need to scroll back up. okay, this is a question from matt and he asked he says this research is fascinating. what does the association plan to do with these stories of these individuals great question matt. so as i mentioned we've been doing a lot of research over the last year and we've been trying to compile as much biographical information about each of these individuals as we can. our goal is to create some sort of final project or final product that searchable where individuals can you know search the name of a person that they knew works at the white house or perhaps look up any maid that was at the white house and see a list of those names because we'd really like to emphasize that these individuals are the backbone of the white house. they are what makes the white house run and this is the people's house. so our goal is to create some sort of

buy that house. and the investor comes in interest rates a check for it. he outdid's the other 19 people. it is a huge problem in the east houston area. we don't have a lack of people not wanting to buy. they can't buy, they're being forced to rent because they can't buy these homes. because of the past situations in our economy. pass situation with rand -- it's cheaper to own a home in houston than rend. and that's the thing, and i think that's across the country to a certain extent. it's cheaper to own. but they're not giving that opportunity. >> thank you. mister chairman, i only have seven seconds. i have two more questions. had one from mr. -- one for doctor -- also met those in running for the record. hope to hear the responses. i really want to focus on the eviction right because i think that is just horrific. that is -- i think mister baker said that it was more in the nonwhite neighborhoods where evictions were higher. then other neighborhoods. we really into explore that. thank you without

house increase. also, future stabilized interest rates will likely be higher than the record low rates of recent years. combined these will continue to , reduce housing affordability. housing production has also significantly trailed our needs for many years and this shortage is a huge obstacle to families securing an affordable home. another continuing challenge is that the growth of household wealth and home equity has been heavily skewed. today the top 1% hold 30 of the -- 30% of the overall wealth. the top 10% nearly 70%. while the lower half of american households have a total of only 2.6% of our nation's wealth. housing gains have likewise been skewed, including a massive home ownership and wealth gap that is projected to continue to grow in the coming years. this gap is reflected in the fact that today black college graduates have less wealth and lower homeownership than white households that did not complete high school. in some there pressing housing needs across the country, rural and urban

so, while we're making housing more available, they're making housing more costly. the biggest impact is local government. they really control housing. so many areas, and so many areas, people want either open space, or maybe open space dotted by a few rich houses. the effect is, the cost of providing a new structure, we need at least 5 million more of them, it's double or triple what it would be. the physical cost of building the home isn't the cost, because they're dealing with zoning, the result an increase in land prices the fees, and all the requirements that are often designed to make sure that communities are not economically integrated, of course, that means in many cases not racially integrated. i realize we're focused on homeownership, not everyone should buy a home. if you are not gonna live there, you're not sure you're gonna live there for at least six years, it is not in your interest usually to buy a home. there ought to be single family homes that are available. i believe one witness said two and a half percent of the homes are owned by institutions

your houses. would have earns to housing prices and affordability when we expand housing demand subsidies without addressing the conditions of housing supply? >> prices go up. as the prices go up, with the fha, through either fha or gse loans that we have, we have more lower equity loans. so, you've got sort of pockets, geographically, throughout the united states that are either more or less constrained than others. and then you basically have got one federal policy that just says, get more loans, get more loans. it's not surprising to get exactly the result that we've had, which is more consumer debt and incredibly rapid increase and home prices. >> what do you think congress should do to help bring down the cost of building new housing, so we can expand supply to make the current demand without driving up prices? >> well, there's very little that congress can do to increases the supply. it has to conserve out with demand relative to supply. that means pairing back on the increase in demand. so,

the house that mr. issa will vote yea on h.r. 7174. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from nebraska rise? >> mr. speaker, as the member designated by mrs. hartzler from missouri, i inform the house that mrs. hartzler will vote yes on h.r. 7174. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado seek recognition? mr. neguse: mr. speaker, as the member designated by mr. soto, ms. jayapal, mr. castro and ms. porter, i inform the house that these members will vote yes on h.r. 7174. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition? mr. beyer: mr. speaker, as the member designated by mr. lieu of california, i inform the house that mr. lieu will vote yes on h.r. 7174. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado seek recognition? mr. lamborn: mr. speaker, as the member designated by mr. wilson of south carolina, i inform the house that mr. wilson will vote aye on h.r. 7174. the speaker pr

housing. it's been that way for decades. the shortage is affecting citizens and cities all over america. for example my hometown of portland the skyrocketing rents and slow supply due to low housing is also an issue though in centraloregon . southern oregon and eastern rnoregon where they can't build enough housing fast enough to keep up with demand. i'd be willing to bet that every imember on this panel is hearing the same story. now, whereb& a number of issues this morning. and i just like to raise a relatively new issue that deserves real scrutiny. and that is private equity firms and sophisticated companies armed with terabytes of housing data are bring up properties nationwide. there jacking uprents . they're using algorithms to outbid americans who just want to own a home. why do these big guys want to ?et into our housing market because they are upward of 330 million in the country and there aren't enough homes for all of them. huge demands, limited supply. typically people on a budget

housing community at large. let me speak if i might for a minute to south dakota and housing availability and affordability are huge issue. i hear about these issues all the time from constituents especially in communities like rapid city which is quickly expanding and with supplier prices way inflated it makes it more difficult to start a housing project and according to the national association of realtors they average cost of housing from 2013 to 2021 increased by more than $80,000 so if i might ms. wade you to come this in your written testimony but could you share your insights on data and how it's affecting livelihoods and families across the country? >> senator that is a great question. by one estimate and by the way it's seen it double. we have a shortage of 3.8 million homes in the u.s. which is staggering. it's almost hard to grasp. there are a lot of things that have become together to address this urgent need at the federal level and discussing things you've worked on senator at the state and local l

i think particularly 42 housing which is newer housing is frequently superior to other housing and i would ask people about that in your neighborhoods, my colleagues, and see what type of incentives we have when we have new housing, new apartments going up, some of them quite lavish. better than the old apartments that other people have to rent. is that a good or bad thing? i would ask the clerks in grocery stores as far as the expensive food that people are buying, if they're, you know, more being provided for by the government than provided for within the family. i would ask tax accountants about the earned income tax credit and some of the perverse incentives involved in the earned income tax credit. i'd also ask the tax accountants what people are doing with the earned income tax credits when they get that $6,000 or $7,000 or $9,000 check once a year. i think when we got done asking these question, we can ask ourselves if we cant to continue to, what i think, continue programs that prevent children from having both parents particularly a dad at home. because i think there are so

however i'm perplexed by the [inaudible] unique house suggest if you are housed you are immune from housing. in san francisco looking for housing is a bleak experience. our leaders need to fix that a measure that may sounds good on the surface but not produce homes. solutions that don't work feed the negative opinion voters have been san francisco's 80 to fixer problems i urge you not to support this bill and support affordable homes now. thank you. >> thank you. >> next caller. in i'm antonio rodriguez member of 236 i stand with my brothers and sisters opposing this act -- because of the reasons and we need the house being now. thank you. >> good morning i'm suzanne rodriguez i'm a rep if the carpenter's local 152. i stand in opposition to supervisor chan's act and thank you for your time. next speaker, please. i'm a san francisco residents for a decade and love to stay here but in order to do this san francisco needs more affordable housing. i don't believe that supervisor chan's ma'am will get us that. i am in support of affordable homes now act and oppose supervisor chan's amendment and

in a transition housing, not permanent, but there are those that need housing, up to one point. and then transition to the other forms of housing. this is basically where we are offering the solutions to all of these very complex issues in san francisco. so, i think all of us needs to be commended on this title and for staff moving forward for implementing this. yes for the resolution. the question that i have and i know that after this resolution, dpw and another city agency is involved in housing and because of treasure island we would design our model. the other funding sources that is as you had mentioned the irfd and possibility for the ticg, could you briefly explain and also how the timeline that we have in completing the so that we can begin from the planning state to the actual construction in one or two sentences, please. >> >> the irfd are the tax increment revenues from the development of the island that are pledged to affordable housing. the housing subsidy is a payment from the icd to tida to help replace our housing obligations and it's $17,500 for every market ra

yeah, which is about the white house gardens in the white house grounds. it's really an extraordinary issue. so thank you all for coming. have a safe travel home. i hope you all are having a good time. we'll start our second panel today. first i want to introduce the moderator our very own colleen shogun. who is the senior vice president at the david m rubinstein national center for white house history of the white house historical association? dr. shogun is a trained political scientist with a phd in american politics from yale university as well as a bachelor's degree in political science from boston college. she has almost 15 years of service in the federal government including prominent roles with the us senate as well as the library of congress, dr. shogun teaches government students at georgetown university and served as vice chair of the women's suffrage centennial commission. another feather in her cap in an illustrious resume is that she currently serves as a co-chair of the board of directors at the women's suffrage national monument foundation d

that housing is not just housing . it's a place to grow leadership if we do it right and we need to do it right. the second point i want to make is that this relationship that we have with meda i deeply cherish. and i've come to cherish it even more in this moment where we have so much tension and he is in our communities, within our communities, withinour city . the fact that we can sit down with the mission-based organization. do something so special to, physically build a building together means in many ways we are married to this and it means when we have issues with each other we have to talk. we have to work it out. we have to go home at night and have dinner. we have to talk, we have to work it out and i hope and i want that relationship to extend beyond this organization but also into our communities andmake this a bridge or communities like chinatown, like mission share so much in common , we are working folks, we're in a way where housing, we the places where in his really really for me incredibly gratifying

and who access the housing. we can talk about the challenges of those things, but today we have a real solution. we have a real tonight. we know what happens when we come together and we put aside our differences and we focus on what needs to be done. and specifically in my homeless recover y plan, we already as we committed built a thousand units of permanently supportive housing with 1500-we built and got about a thousand more in the pipeline and these 96 units that are for people who struggle with homelessness. this is a game-changer. when we provide a opportunity without the layers of bure ocacy that make it difficult for people to access housing we make a dif rnsh ference in san francisco and when we have partners who believe in this because this land, all of this is a legacy of the plumbers union with muzola, jr. grandfather who we know a park will be named for him people in the city can enjoy. the fact that he was willing to work with this city and partner to do something to give back to the city that he

housing. having also heard from them about the height being a various sizes, you know, 55, 62 and then something about another 9 feet in addition and then also another site showed 85 feet height. again, there had been no outreach directly to the residents adjacent, immediately adjacent to this site. and it's very concerning and i would support the continuance because there needs to be actual dialogue with the people who actually live there and this needs to happen as soon as possible. they've been very anxious, having only recently heard about this project and again, yes, a notice about a hearing but a hearing in which languages as well as what is the project actually going to be? that dialogue never happened and in my mind, this is the second time i've seen another project where the developer did not reach out directly to those impacted such at 425 broadway back in november which affected 68 very low-income, primarily mono lin gal chinese. it's not dropping the stream ideal of a building for

the white house is also known as the peoples house, that really means the white house grounds are the peoples ground. if you start to think about it that way it is not so far removed from a typical suburban home. typically, suburban homes, mine included have a more formal or dressy front lawn, that would be the north grounds of the white house facing pennsylvania avenue. and, a more private, less formal backyard. that is the larger south grounds looking down towards the washington monument. that is pretty much what happens at the white house today. >> let's get to the issue of just how sacrosanct are the white house grounds? are they untouchable. you are a historian, i am a journalist, neither one of us is a politician but first ladies, especially in the modern era they want to go around changing things. i think it is fair to say people have had an opinion about more near trump's recent rose garden renovation. the history of that site, the rose garden is a fairly historic white house grounds 1962 is not that long ago. and previous to that time there was iterations to that garden. the

the vouchers subsidize housing for house holdses in 4 categories. people experiencing homelessness it's risk and recent homeless with high risk of housing instability or flee domestic violence or other violence. the resolution before you today would vrz hsh to accept and extend 3.1 million dollars of hud grant funding being pszed through the san front housing authority. that would provide supportive services to eligible households. if approved they accept and extend the fund for cost incures february first of 22 and june 30 of 26. would fund supportive services for a quarter of ehv holders and remainder of service for other holders are being funded through other sources including prospect c. supportive services through the grand funds include incentive payments and red knows. application de feos and security deposit and utility depolicyis assistance and household items they are critical to support hold torse locate, security and move in housing. >> i will stop there and happy to take questions. thank you. >> thank you. questions, colleagues. open up

they also decided to go into the governor's house the royal governor's house and tear down his house with the woman and children inside anyone who does not agree with them up there a new england suffer some violent repercussions when they made it the raleigh tower anytime. it whatever they determine on is simply an agreement amongst gentlemen, it is not a government measure because they are not meeting as a government. so, how do you enforce something when you have no authority? it doesn't have any real license at all. it's virginians doing for themselves. this is this is a radical action, but you don't realize you realize changes that all the county militias are going back to the control of the county lieutenants as it should be. yes. yeah, but you know the governor can't call them up anymore the gentleman in the county whoever's over the county lieutenants are they're the ones that can call them up. so what is there 3006,000 redcoats on their way here now do you think are they gonna close portsmouth? okay. we have an opportunity here that we can create our own forces here in virgin

the types of multifamily housing, nature and cost of housing. converting the automobile uses to multifamily housing. address both crisis. it is important the ordinance makes a real world difference. as the community considers potential amendments, it is important that the amendments are under potential development. i am disappointed that the mayor's office hasn't been present for this hearing to address the questions that we are raising. hopefully they will be present at a future meeting. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> caller: hello. >> turn down your television in the background. >> caller: thank you. hello. i am donna her wit. i am a resident living in the outer hills. i am a homeowner with a mortgage. i am concerned about our stock of housing supply. i am a member of hac. i do support the purpose. i believe that these automobile related spaces could lead to a faster approval time. i also think the approach would be more likely to be welcomed to a specific community. it would improve appearance, bankruptcy in the neig

look, the house is going to continue to do its work. we have been very focused on a whole range of issues, right driving down the cost of working families, addressing the climate issues, addressing the surge of gun violence, making sure people have rights to marry, and to contraception. we have a lot of legislation which is pending in the senate. and we are always challenged by the rules of the senate that require ten republican to join us in this work. but the house democrats will continue to do what we do. and that's deliver for the american people, -- before the congress vote and pass excellent bills and get them to the senate. we are responsible for our, work they are responsible for their. and if this -- if we're only gonna pass things we know the senate will pass, many of us feel like we should go home. because we have so many great pieces of legislation that are languishing in the senate. we are going to -- continue to respond to the urgent -- of the american people. -- good infrastructure bills, gun safety bill, and we will expe

, the senate and the white house. why not go through with it? and beta say what he says, which is because of inflation. but it doesn't seem to stop him from voting on other bills. so, what is joe manchin doing? >> i mean, joe manchin is a republican's democrat at this point. he's not a person who cares that his status with poorest state in the union and would benefit from jobs created from this bill. would benefit from health care expansion, child tax here credits, health care credits going towards people who are addicted to drugs, people who have opioid addiction. he doesn't care about any of that stuff. he cares about k street, law being firms and corporations. he's made that patently clear. i think he's been a bad faith negotiator for democrats and i think chuck schumer has consistently got the wool pull over his head, when it comes to joe manchin. i know point has he ever actually intended to vote with democrats. instead, he's made sure that minorities have less access to the ballot, made sure that americans have

and as you will see to day, donald trump's own white house counsel his own white house staff, members of his own family, all implored him to immediately intervene to condemn the violence and instruct his supporters to stand down. leave the capital and disperse for multiple hours. he would not, donald trump would not get on the phone and order the military or law enforcement agencies to help. and for hours, donald trump chose not to answer the please from congress, from his own party and from all across our nation to do what his oath required. he refused to defend our nation and our constitution. he refused to do what every american president must. in the days after january 6th, almost no one of any political party would defend president trump's conduct, and no one should do so to day. thank you and i now recognized the gentlewoman from virginia. thank you madam vice chair. article 2 of our constitution requires that the president swear a very specific oath every 4 years. every president swears or affirms to faithfully execute the office of president of the united states and to the bes

the house will come to order. the house will come to order. for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland seek recognition? >> madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent to speak out of order for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. hoyer: thank you very much. ladies and gentlemen of the house, this is going to be a very busy week. there are over 600 amendments made in order to the defense bill. clearly if we do what we just did and we do too often take three times the time allotted to vote, this took about 47 minute, 48 minutes to vote in the first vote, we will be here for a very, very long time. no one wants to shirk their duties but they do want to do their duties on time. so i want to make it clear to the house that i've asked the leadership, the speaker's office, to join with me in assuring that five-minute votes are five minute votes. my colleagues, invariably that announcement brings cheers. and invariably those cheering come after 10, 15, 20 minutes have elapsed on a five-minute vote. not all of us.

. >> next, house speaker nancy pelosi holds her weekly brief laying on capitol hill. she criticized republicans who voted against an active shooter alert system and said the house would pass legislation codifying roe v. wade and women's reproductive rights. she also talked about a potential 2024 presidential bid from former president trump, fuel prices, and the war in ukraine. this runs 25 minutes. speaker pelosi: today, we had this -- can the -- today, we had the great honor in the u.s. capitol to honor woody williams, the last surviving medal of honor recipient from world war ii, our link to the greatest generation. many who were present were members of our military. it was very exciting. this man was 5'6", 135 pounds, and yet he fought and fought and fought, and took out six enemy installations and won the medal of honor. the single-handedly destroyed enemy positions. admiral nimitz praised his extraordinary heroism by saying uncommon valor was a common virtue at iwo jima. that is when he did this, he was a marine at iwo jima. if you have a moment, you might want t

with the cost of housing for years and years the country is not done enough to produce the housing we need from 2000 through 22015 about half the country fell seven.3 million home short with housing production the shortage makes moreg expensive congress has not done its job four years just last year that we hosted the first hearing on the state of housing in america in nearly a decade. one of the first things we did after i took the chairmanship to talk about housing so much the foundation of everything in our lives where you live or you work for your children go to school or do your grocery shopping eating up the biggest chunk of people's paycheck rent eats first one housing cost goes up less money left over for school supplies and prescription drugs and a lot of families crippling stress at the end of each month how do i pay my rent then do i pay my electric bill or intranet or daycare or make a payment on the credit card for years the market has not produced enough housing that working people can afford home health aides and nursing assistants working full-time have long been paid

housing. i'm here to ask for your support in funding food security for supportive housing providers. without support, four out of five people in our buildings will run out of food by the end of the month. in the past two years working to provide meals that are made by locally -- by small minority-owned businesses. these meals have been a lifeline to our tenants and made them transition to housing more successful. it's an important component of ending homelessness. thank you for your time. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. may we have the next caller. >> hi, i am asher on behalf of the resource center line, that serves tens of thousands of children and caregivers. we work with the community to create one community serving the needs of family and children. and supporting families' needs and community care that is a bridge between the community. and i want to express gratitude for the budget to provide additional funding, and to emphasize marginal families to be able to survive in san franci

she moved over to the white house in april of 2022 start as white house press secretary and she over a group of campaign staff with her so i joined her over at the white house in june of 2022 start as her deputy. >> were you at work at the white house on january 6? >> yes i was working out of the west wing out of that day -- i was working out of the west wing on that day. >> thank you. president trump summoned to the mob to d.c. on january 6. before he went on stage, he knew that some of them were armed and prepared for combat. he implored them to march to the capital as he had always planned to do. by the time he walked off the stage, supporters had already breached the capital at the foot of capitol hill. since our last hearing, we received new testimony from a security professional working in the white house complex on january 6 with access to relevant information and responsibility to report to national security officials. this security official told us that the white house was aware of multiple reports of the crowd that morning. -- of weapons in the crowd that morning. we as a c

she felt that house moving. and she was able to get out. the water picks up the house and essentially demolishes it, leaving the debris down both sides of the bank. very typical of what we're seeing in eastern kentucky. now, big picture, the authorities say, of course, that woman is one of the lucky ones. and they still don't know the full extent of this tragedy here in eastern kentucky. what they do know is they have to go through the nooks and crannies and down all the water ways to try to get a feel for the number of people who are missing, the number of people who are dead. and there are real challenges to that because authorities say, number one, there are so many remote places. number two, there's a real breakdown in infrastructure, gas, electricity, telephone cutoff in some places just over the past few hours we learned something like 17,000 people are still out of power. that makes it very hard for first responders to try to make contact with people to find out about their welfare. back to you. >> joe johns, that store there, people

an affordable house come up i knew have 20 bids on that house, 20 consumers trying to buy that house on the investor comes in a write a check for it. and he outbid the other 19 people. it is a huge problem in the houston area. we do not have a lack of people wanting to buy, they cannot buy. there being forced to rent because they cannot buy these homes because of the past situations in our economy. past situations with brent britts cheaper to own a houston house than rent. and i think that's across the country to a certain extent. it is cheaper to own but they're not getting that opportunity. >> okay thank you. mr. chairman i still have seven seconds i've two more questions i have one for mr. merritt one for doctor raymond i will submit those in writing for the record. and hope to hear their responses. just so you know i really wanted to focus on the eviction rate. i think that is y just horrifici think mr. baker said it's the non- whitete neighborhoods were evictions were higher than other neighborhoods. we really need to explore that. without a yieldpo back. >> the gentle lady yiel

let's assume we have the house, maybe not the senate, not the white house. what is the house g.o.p. plan if you could have a plan to solve immigration, border security, what would it look like? >> i think it starts with us earning trustee of americans. we saw a taste of that. hispanic-americans are coming over in droves to republican party, we have an opportunity to change the scope of the party and politics, not for just this year but decades to come, i served 20 years in military, 5 years in iraq and afghanistan, i love to fight, live to watch boxing. we saw flores win the special election, we'll see the main event in november and see candidates pick up seats, and laurie chavez in oregon pick up seats and monica delacruz in south texas, when we the republicans have the majority in house, we have to deliver, about governing, a big part is the commitment to america you will see kevin mccarthy roll out here soon, and we will get behind it. a good start we have to deliver for all americans. >> congressman thank you for joining us on sunday night, and thank you for your service in unif

we need that money for housing. housing is a solution. thank you so much. >> hello my name is hamine. and i'm here in support of the $4 million for the tenderloin community action plan. this plan has been led by the people's congress and have been working on it for years, even before the mayor's emergency declaration. this one-time funding is needed to create a community plan for ourselves. if you want more oversight, do so, but please fund it. on a national scale we all express that we should take care and protect marginalized people. we heard a reaction in it to this morning's news. when it comes here locally we seem to forget that we're all on the same side. take care of the tenderloin and take care of the most marginalized we need you to create the conditions for us to keep showing up. we were ignored in the restricting process. do not perpetuate, and it's san francisco issues magnified if you help the tenderloin you help san francisco. please fund the plan and, in addition, please implement and fund cart. thank you so much. >> good a
