Resource Center: New Nonprofit Gag Provision in House GSE Bill

Restrictions on Affiliations, Advocacy, and Nonpartisan Voter Participation for Grantees Passed House

H.R. 1461, the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005, including the new Affordable Housing Fund, went to the floor Wednesday, Oct. 26.

The final vote was 331 to 90, passing the bill. Thank you to all the advocates that worked so hard to defeat this heinous provision, and the Members of Congress that voted with us.

The Nonprofit Gag Provision is currently not in S. 190, the Senate version of the bill, and we will work to ensure that this provision will not be included.
