Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Dave McCormick (R-PA) sent a bipartisan letter to Secretary Turner urging HUD to make commonsense reforms to the BABA process that will support the new construction and preservation of affordable housing across America.
The Senators note that the current BABA waiver system for products that are not produced in sufficient quantities in the U.S. has created huge delays and, in some cases, insurmountable barriers to the construction of new affordable housing in communities.
The duo calls for HUD to improve communication around the BABA waiver process, act faster on completed waiver requests, and assess the availability of BABA-compliant housing products.
Call to Action: Any New Hampshire developers who are interested in BABA, please reach out to Ilana Morof.
