Plain-English Summary

Congress is considering blocking a recent decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw guidance it had previously issued about the Section 8 housing choice voucher homeownership program. If approved, this resolution would overturn the bureau's action and restore the original guidance that helped explain how the program works for low-income families trying to buy homes. The measure is currently being reviewed by the Senate Banking Committee.
