Res. 7, setting forth the congressional budget for the United States 
Government for fiscal year 2025 and setting forth the appropriate 
budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034; as follows:

       At the end of title III, add the following:

     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO REDUCING 
                   THE IMPACTS OF HEDGE FUND OWNERSHIP OF SINGLE-

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution, 
     and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or 
     more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     lowering rent for American families, which may include 
     reducing the single-family housing market share of large 
     single-family housing investors or addressing the impact of 
     these investors' activities on housing availability, housing 
     affordability, eviction rates, home maintenance, and 
     gentrification, by the amounts provided in such legislation 
     for those purposes, provided that such legislation would not 
     increase the deficit over the period of the total of fiscal 
     years 2025 through 2034.
