                      IMPROVING HOUSING IN AMERICA

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to praise President Biden's work 
to improve housing in America.
  The President's leadership in this area has led to lower housing 
costs, expanded rental assistance, and increased affordable housing 
nationwide.
  Now, the President wants to implement the most consequential housing 
plan in 50 years in this country. It would provide a $10,000 tax credit 
for first-time home buyers and people who sell their starter homes. It 
would build and renovate more than 2 million homes.
  The plan would crack down on corporate actions that rob renters, and 
it would provide rental assistance for hundreds of thousands of 
families, veterans, and youth leaving foster care.
  It is a bold plan that would benefit millions of Americans, and I am 
proud to support it on the House floor today.
