NLIHC on budget, HR 1461 voter reg. issue

NLIHC's new Memo to Members is up today, leading with the campaign against anti-voter-registration language in the GSEs bill, which may go to a House floor vote as soon as Wednesday... OMB Watch decries the amendment and posts the disputed text, which still doesn't seem to be included in the HR 1461 entry on THOMAS... the National Housing Trust Fund Campaign is organizing calls and emails to House members.

NLIHC also gives a full blow-by-blow of last week's HUD appropriations action in the Senate... and news from the budget reconciliation debate, including a dim outlook for "upfront grants" to preserve HUD-owned rental projects.
