Robert Ney (R-Ohio) passed by voice vote on May 23 a markup of legislation that would create a revitalization program for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Agency's multi-family housing assistance program, Section 515.
H.R. 5039, the Saving America's Rural Housing Act of 2006, was introduced March 29 by Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.), Ranking Member Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Ney, Artur Davis (D-Ala.), Gary Miller (R-Calif.), Rep. Ruben Hinojosa (D-Texas), and Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.).
