10:37Now PlayingOhio Rep. Marcia Fudge picked by President Biden to lead HUD as the nation faces a severe housing crisis, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. Millions of Americans are facing eviction, affordable housing is in short supply, homelessness appears to be on the rise, and racial inequities have widened.
"My first priority as secretary would be to alleviate that crisis and get people the support they need to come back from the edge," Fudge told the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. She noted that 1 in 5 renters and 1 in 10 homeowners are currently behind on their housing payments.
Fudge said that $25 billion in emergency rental assistance recently approved by Congress is "not enough." She endorsed the new administration's proposals to provide $25 billion more in rental aid in a new COVID relief package, to expand the use of housing vouchers and to enforce laws aimed at preventing housing discrimination.
