Advocates Urge Vote on HUD Nominee

NAR and a coalition of 60 groups sent a letter to the Senate leadership this week, urging a vote on Pam Patenaude to be Deputy Secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Ms. Patenaude was reported favorably by the Senate Banking Committee back in June, but her vote has not come to the Senate Floor. Ms. Patenaude previously worked at HUD, and at the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority. Both these experiences could contribute greatly to the work of HUD today. Signers to the letter, spearheaded by NAR, include the National Association of Home Builders, the Mortgage Bankers Association, the National Low Income Housing Coalition, and the NAACP.
