Down Payment Assistance (DPA) is one step closer to being preserved thanks to the efforts of many Mortgage Professionals. HR 6694 was passed by the House Financial Services Committee earlier today, positioning the Bill for a floor vote in the next couple of days.

Our fight is far from over. It is more critical now than ever before that we continue the charge to preserve DPA. Therefore, if you yourself, or someone you know has benefited from down payment assistance programs we ask that you assist with our collective efforts. We must make contact with some key individuals to voice our profound support of Down Payment Assistance. Failure to do so at this point in time could result in adversity to HR 6694 thus making all of our previous efforts a moot point.

We respectfully requesting that you call or email your state representative, but most importantly contact the following “swing vote” individuals:

Congressman Steny Hoyer of Maryland 202-225-4131
Congressman Roy Blunt of Southwest Missouri 202-225-6536
Congressman John Boehner of Ohio (Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives) 202-225-6205

Thank you in advance for your ongoing support of DPA and The Nehemiah Corporation. We will be victorious!
