Download or read book Housing Issues in the 108th Congress written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An omnibus spending bill (H.R. 2673, H.Rept. 108-401) that will fund the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other federal agencies for FY2004 was signed into law by the President on January 23, 2004 (P.L. 108-199). The Senate had approved the conference report on the bill on December 22, 2003 and the House, on December 8. P.L. 108-199 provides HUD with $31.4 billion (not including an "advanced appropriation" of $4.2 billion that cannot be spent until FY2005), about $400 million above the FY2003 appropriation. The new law does not contain the Administration's controversial plan to convert Section 8 tenant-based vouchers into a block grant to be administered by the states. The budget provides nearly $19.4 billion for the Housing Certificate program, a substantial increase over last year and enough to maintain the program at its current level. The HOPE VI public housing rehabilitation program is funded at $150 million, a sharp reduction from the $570 million appropriated in FY2003. P.L. 108-199 provides $87.5 million for the Administration's American Dream Downpayment Act, considerably less than the $200 million requested. Language authorizing the Downpayment Act at $200 million annually from FY2004 through FY2007 was signed by the President on December 12, 2003 (S. 811, P.L. 108-186). This Act also authorizes a demonstration Section 202 program to help meet the housing needs of grandparents who raise their grandchildren and adds a requirement to minimize the permanent displacement of residents affected by HOPE VI revitalization projects. H.R. 1102 would create a National Affordable Housing Trust Fund. With about 210 largely Democratic co-sponsors, it would tap "excess profits" from HUD's Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) mortgage insurance program to build 1.5 million affordable housing units over 10 years. An industry-supported predatory lending bill, H.R. 833, would address "high cost mortgages" and preempt state or local anti-predatory lending law. Another predatory lending bill, H.R. 1663, would establish consumer safeguards for those receiving subprime home loans. The "Ten Year Rule" that limits the use of tax-exempt bonds used to help firsttime homebuyers would be repealed by H.R. 284/S. 595 (with 388 co-sponsors). The Administration has proposed a homeowner tax credit ( H.R. 839/S. 198, with 250 cosponsors) modeled after the popular Low Income Housing Tax Credit. Reports of accounting irregularities by Freddie Mac have prompted calls for more stringent regulations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. HUD has forwarded a final rule to the Office of Management and Budget to reform the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) despite strong objections by the real estate and mortgage-broker industries and some in Congress. The Administration will submit its FY2005 HUD budget on February 2, 2004 with a plan to control the rising cost of housing vouchers. With the resignation of HUD Secretary Mel Martinez on December 12, the Senate will consider the nomination of Alphonso Jackson to be the new Secretary. Not all bills discussed in this report are cited in this summary. This report will be updated as issues develop and legislation proceeds in the 108th Congress.

Download or read book Emergent Public Health Issues in the US Mexico Border Region written by Cecilia Ballesteros Rosales and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US-Mexico border region area has unique social, demographic and policy forces at work that shape the health of its residents as well as serves as a microcosm of migration health challenges facing an increasingly mobile and globalized world. This region reflects the largest migratory flow between any two nations in the world. Data from the Pew Research Center shows over the last 25 years there has never been lower than 140,000 annual immigrants from Mexico to the United States (with peaks over 700,000). This migratory route is extremely hazardous due to natural (e.g., arid and hot desert regions) and human made barriers as well as border enforcement practices tied to socio-political and geopolitical pressures. Also, reflecting the national interdependency of public health and human services needs, during the most recent five year period surveyed the migratory flow between the US and Mexico has equaled that of the flow of Mexico to the US--both around 1.4 million persons. Of particular public health concern, within the US-Mexico region of both nations there is among the highest disparities in income, education, infrastructure and access to health care--factors within the World Health Organization’s conceptualization of the Social Determinants of Health, and among the highest rates of chronic disease. For instance obesity and diabetes rates in this region are among the highest of those monitored in the world, with adult population estimates of the former over 40% and estimates in some population sub-groups for the latter over 20%. The publications reflected in this Research Topic, all reviewed from experts in the field, addressed many of the public health issues in the US Mexico Border Health Commission’s Healthy Border 2020 objectives. Those objectives-- broad public health goals used to guide a diverse range of government, research and community-based stakeholders--include Non Communicable Diseases (including adult and childhood obesity-related ones; cancer), Infectious Diseases (e.g., tuberculosis; HIV; emerging diseases--particularly mosquito borne illnesses), Maternal and Child Health, Mental Health Disorders, and Motor Vehicle Accidents. Other relevant public health issues affecting this region, for example environmental health, binational health services coordination (e.g., immunization), the impact of migration throughout the Americas and globally in this region, health issues related to the physical climate, access to quality health care, discrimination/mistreatment and well-being, acculturative/immigration stress, violence, substance use/abuse, oral health, respiratory disease, and well-being from a social determinants of health framework, are critical areas addressed in these publications or for future research. Each of these Research Topic publications presented applied solutions (e.g., new programs, technology or infrastructure) and/or public health policy recommendations relevant to each public health challenge addressed.

Book excerpt: "The report, 'Make It Safe: Canada's Obligation to End the First Nations Water Crisis,' documents the impacts of serious and prolonged drinking water and sanitation problems for thousands of indigenous people--known as "First Nations"--living on reserves. It assesses why there are problems with safe water and sanitation on reserves, including a lack of binding water quality regulations, erratic and insufficient funding, faulty or sub-standard infrastructure, and degraded source waters. The federal government's own audits over two decades show a pattern of overpromising and underperforming on water and sanitation for reserves"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses domestic political support for internationalist foreign policy by analyzing the motivations of members of Congress on key foreign policy issues. It includes case studies on major foreign policy debates in recent years, including the use of force, foreign aid, trade policy and U.S.-Russia relations. It also develops a new series of archetypes for describing the foreign policy worldviews of members of the 115th Congress to replace the current stale and unsophisticated labels of internationalist, isolationist, hawk and dove. Report findings emphasize areas of bipartisan cooperation on foreign policy issues given member ideologies.
