    I urge FHFA to take bold action to implement mandatory, standardized protections and
    strong enforcement for all households living in properties with federally backed mortgages or federally subsidized rent, including large developments and smaller properties and out of state absent landlords. FHFA must continue to engage tenants and people directly impacted by this situation throughout its process of establishing and implementing renter protection.
    These protections along with large-scale, sustained investments in affordable housing options are necessary to ensure that everyone, including the lowest-income and most marginalized renters, have a safe, quality, affordable, and accessible place to call home. No one should be without a home or suffer abuse and neglect from a landlord in a country such as the United States.

    We are counting on FHFA to make a difference for our vulnerable neighbors.
