NH&RA is working hard on Capitol Hill advocating for BABA exemptions and waiver relief. Please continue reaching out to your members of Congress to ask for their support, especially if they are a member of the House or Senate THUD Appropriations Committees.
- House Appropriations THUD Subcommittee Markup: Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 8:00 AM
- Senate Appropriations: The Committee has begun releasing President’s budget hearing dates/times, but has not released information for THUD.
Call To Action: NH&RA and our partners are still compiling a list of items and materials that are difficult to source domestically as we work on BABA waiver relief.
- You can use this spreadsheet template or send your own list of specific items and materials that are difficult or expensive to source.
- Responses do not need to address every column in the spreadsheet and all responses will be anonymized.
- Please send responses to Ilana Morof as soon as possible.
What They’re Saying: Check out last week’s edition where we covered national and local press stories on BABA shutting down affordable housing development and delays in the waiver process.
