I supported legislation (H.R. 3221) that created a new Federal program to help middle-class homeowners transition out of risky, short-term home loans and into more stable, long-term mortgages. It also established a $7,500 tax credit for first-time homebuyers in order to help young families and individuals move from renting to owning their own homes. I also support a National Catastrophe Fund to help Florida homeowners struggling with rising insurance rates. And we still need to enact legislation to help make insurance more affordable for families in Florida.
