This BREAKING NEWS in from our partners at the Housing Alliance of PA on 11/5...
It’s outrageous. The PA House has announced that they are not coming back to work next week. Even though they were scheduled to have 3 more voting days. This leaves House Bill 60 (PHARE), that would enable the creation of a state housing trust fund – a HOUSE BILL – stranded, despite majority support from both House and Senate members.

Call Speaker McCall’s office (717-783-1375) and tell them how deeply disappointed you are that this work is being left undone.

HB 60 already passed both House and Senate with majorities. It doesn’t cost any money. We have been working on it for four years. It is a small step forward to addressing the housing mess that started this economic meltdown in the first place. It just needs to get done.

Please make two quick calls RIGHT NOW: one to your Representative and one to House Speaker McCall (717-783-1375). Please ask them to bring the House back as they promised and VOTE to CONCUR on HB60.
Find your Rep's name and phone number at www.legis.state.pa.us. If you have one more call in you, also call Majority Floor Leader Rep. Eachus at 717-787-2229.
