Look who I found at the Little Library. It's wonderful to see children utilizing their local community libraries. We will be reloading the libraries all summer, guaranteeing families access to books for all ages. There will be books available for every member of the family. Discover places that you couldn’t imagine through reading. Also, you can certainly share a book. When you have read a great book you can share it with others by putting it in Little Library in you community. Let’s have fun this summer. Let’s Explore through Reading.

Public housing agencies (PHAs) get work done, and they could provide even more affordable homes in their communities with appropriate support. This is the message NAHRO brought to today’s House Financial Services Committee hearing, “Building a Solid Foundation: Restoring Trust and Transparency in Public Housing Agencies.”
As NAHRO’s Eric Oberdorfer testified: "Time and time again, [PHAs] demonstrate that they are effective stewards of federal housing resources, doing more with less to serve their communities. Although PHAs are succeeding despite chronic underinvestment, PHAs could see even more success with full funding coupled with appropriate oversight.” A recording of the hearing and Eric's complete written testimony are available here: https://financialservices.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=410994
NAHRO is grateful to have had the opportunity to speak on behalf of our members today. We look forward to working with Congress and HUD to advance our shared priorities.
