Episode Details

A bipartisan housing bill poised to save a vital rural rental subsidy program is stalled on President Trump’s desk, threatening to displace thousands—including Minnesota retiree Pennie Seeger—who rely on Section 515 to afford their homes. Co-authored by Senators Tina Smith and Mike Rounds, the legislation would separate rental and mortgage assistance to extend the program’s life and prevent a wave of evictions. With housing costs soaring nationwide, this 30-year-old program remains a lifeline for seniors, disabled individuals, and low-wage workers. Though the President has delayed action, advocates hope he’ll sign it before July 10—making it potentially the most significant federal housing bill in decades.
