The House effort to amend Senate housing legislation is gaining support from key industry trade associations, a crucial boost as the bill faces skepticism from the Senate and White House.
The House is slated to vote Wednesday on the amended 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act led by Reps. French Hill (R-Ark.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), setting up a rare bicameral showdown over a major piece of policy legislation.
The groups, ranging from the National Association of Home Builders to the National Bankers Association, represent a formidable show of lobbying force amid the contentious housing effort.
