Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This joint resolution would block a recent decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw guidance about the Section 8 housing choice voucher homeownership program. The Section 8 program helps low-income families afford housing through federal vouchers, and the original 2015 guidance addressed how this program works in relation to homeownership. Under a procedural rule called the Congressional Review Act, Congress can disapprove of federal agency regulations within a specific timeframe, and this resolution uses that power to overturn the CFPB's decision to withdraw the guidance. If passed by both chambers and signed into law, the resolution would restore the original guidance and prevent the CFPB's withdrawal from taking effect. No specific funding is mentioned in the resolution, as it addresses only the validity of existing agency guidance rather than appropriating new resources.
