Donalds and Velázquez Introduce Bill to
Protect Small Construction Firms
 
WASHINGTON— Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) Member of the House Small Business Committee and House Small Business Committee Chairwoman Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) introduced legislation to preserve payment protections for small construction firms working as subcontractors on federal projects. The legislation would exclude the threshold for construction contracts that must be bonded under the Miller Act from periodic inflation adjustments, ensuring that more projects are covered under federal bonding requirements.

High Lumber Costs Add Thousands to Price of Home
Soaring lumber prices that have tripled over the past 12 months have caused the price of an average new single-family home to increase by $35,872, according to analysis by NAHB’s Economics team. Policymakers are beginning to grasp the severity of the crisis. During recent testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo promised to make rising lumber prices and production issues a priority.
 
Treasury Releases Emergency Rental Assistance
The Treasury Department on May 7 announced it is releasing $21.6 billion in funding for the second allotment of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP). NAHB had urged White House officials to release the funds. The Treasury released its first $25 billion in rental assistance earlier this year.
