Congressman Garcia’s Statement On Senate Passage of the Homeowner’s Flood Insurance Affordability Act

Last night, the Senate passed the House version of the flood bill, the Homeowner’s Flood Insurance Affordability Act, by an overwhelming majority in a 72-22 vote.

“I commend my colleagues in the Senate for stepping up in the name of struggling, middle-class homeowners. The Homeowner’s Flood Insurance Affordability Act represents the first meaningful step forward in National Flood Insurance Program reform. Although I believe that further reform and stronger protections are needed, today we have reason to celebrate.”
