I understand the fiscal challenges that the Impact Aid community faces. and I am committed to working with them to address the effect this bill may have on them. The bill attempts to offset this effect by increasing funding authorization and ensures that we are not taking from one group to pay for another. Thirdly. this legislation would clarify Congresss intent when we extended eligibility for housing assistance programs to COFA migrants. This bill ensures that U.S. citizens. nationals. or lawful permanent residents are not displaced when applying for housing benefits and that they are given priority when applying for these benefits. Lastly. this bill would commission independent research on the viability of the current Compacts. and make recommendations on policy alternatives moving forward.
