Washington bits we missed this week

Still catching up from this past week:

- Washington housing news in the Dec. 23 NLIHC Memo to Members includes a rundown on the unreconciled budget reconciliation, and mention of the Violence Against Women Act, which has passed the House with extensive housing provisions. It says some of these would benefit domestic violence victims with grants and required efforts by housing authorities, but a further provision would specifically allow the eviction of a victim whose abuser also endangered other tenants.

- HAC News has a further, more recent legislative and regulatory update, much of which will be familiar to readers of this space, but there's an item that hasn't been much covered elsewhere on the passage and imminent signature of HR 797, the Indian housing bill.
