Affordable Housing Trailblazer Award Honoree REPRESENTATIVE CARLOS CURBELO

The new lead Republican on the House version of the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, Representative Curbelo was elected to represent the people of Florida’s 26th Congressional District in 2014. During his first term, Carlos fought for common sense solutions and worked with Republicans and Democrats to improve the quality of life for the people of South Florida. Carlos was reelected in 2016 and is now in his second term and serving on the prestigious House Committee on Ways and

Means, which took the lead on tax reform. Representative Curbelo has also worked on behalf of affordable housing with House colleagues to co-sponsor the bipartisan Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (H.R. 1661), stating that the legislation “will make the Housing Credit more flexible, simplify program requirements, support the preservation of existing affordable housing, facilitate Housing Credit development in challenging markets and for hard-to-reach populations, and institute other modifications to make the Credit an even more effective program.”
