U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy voted for the Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act on March 12, a legislative package that includes measures aimed at supporting veterans, improving disaster recovery, and making housing more affordable. Cassidy said these provisions address major priorities for Louisiana.
The issue of affordable housing remains significant for many families in Louisiana and across the country. Cassidy said, “Families are working hard, doing everything right, and still can’t afford a home. The wins I helped secure in this bill help make that dream of homeownership achievable.”
Cassidy’s involvement with the ROAD to Housing Act follows his ongoing work as a U.S. senator representing Louisiana in the federal legislative body according to the official website. He has served as chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, where he influences federal policy on health care, labor, education and retirement according to the official website.
His background includes earning undergraduate and medical degrees from Louisiana State University according to the official website, holding seats in both the U.S. House for Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District starting in 2008 and earlier in the Louisiana State Senate according to the official website. Cassidy won election to the U.S. Senate in 2014 according to the official website.
Cassidy’s office also includes senior staff such as a first assistant according to the official website.
The passage of this legislation marks another step toward addressing long-standing challenges related to housing affordability and disaster recovery in Louisiana.
