Click above to watch Senator Robert Menendez discuss the deceitful practice of predatory lending - March 14, 2007

 

In America, every family should have the opportunity to own a home. For many, homeownership is the key to making the American dream a reality. I strongly believe that Congress must ensure mortgage options are available for those who are legitimately prepared to take on the responsibilities of homeownership. Both as a Member of the House of Representatives and as a United States Senator, I have worked to make housing more affordable for all by providing tools to assist families in financing a home and paying their mortgage.

As a member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee I have supported funding for revitalizing public housing in need of repair and adequate funding for community development. I have also worked to create innovative mortgage products to help more people achieve their dream of homeownership. I remain committed to promoting affordable housing, protecting consumers and their rights, and providing adequate funding and equal access to federal housing assistance.

I have consistently worked to ensure that public housing is available to people who need it, often as their last resort.
