Gulf Coast Housing Recovery Act of 2007 (S.1668)

There is a bill in Congress that would create a path home for some of the hardest hit Katrina survivors. The Gulf Coast Housing Recovery Act of 2007 (S.1668) would re-open desperately needed housing and make sure there is no loss of affordable public housing in New Orleans.1
