                             HOUSING CRISIS

  (Ms. MOORE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MOORE. Mr. Speaker, despite the ongoing economic recovery that 
has seen the longest streak of private sector job growth in history, 
since the 2008 crash, the uneven recovery in housing markets has 
absolutely crushed the poor and working class and has left homeowners 
in poor areas underwater and has squeezed renters with a lack of units 
and high rents.
  Shamefully, the GOP-controlled House has been an absentee landlord on 
this issue, and now we find out that the Republican nominee for 
President wanted the crash because it would be a good thing for rich 
guys like him to make more money. Maybe that is why the now-failed 
Trump Mortgage pushed subprime loans.
  The American people deserve a Congress and a President who will keep 
them in their houses and in their homes.
