"HUD has an obligation to receive and investigate fair housing complaints; issue grants to state and local governments as well as non-profit organizations that help enforce our fair housing laws; and assist communities as they seek to comply with the Fair Housing Act.

House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita M. Lowey (D-NY) today filed the conference report on legislation that will keep the federal government open and fund key national priorities.

Congressman David Price (D-NC), Chair of the Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcomittee, delivered the following remarks at the Subcommittee's hearing on "The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Management of Housing Contracts During the Shutdown":

Welcome, everyone, to the first THUD Subcommittee hearing of 2019.

Today, we will be conducting oversight of HUD's management during the recent government shutdown, with a focus on nearly 1,200 expired housing contracts that put tens of thousands of tenants at risk.

I'm pleased to have Brian Montgomery, the Acting Deputy Secretary of HUD, and Irv Dennis, the Department's Chief Financial Officer, here to testify this morning. Thank you for being here, and I look forward to your testimony.
