Congress passed a historic housing bill, but San Diego advocates say it won’t do enough

A bipartisan bill aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing nationwide passed Congress in what some are calling the biggest federal housing legislation in decades, but local advocates say while it’s helpful, it won’t do enough.
“I’ll be honest, it’s not the big home run we need right now,” said Stephen Russell, CEO of the San Diego Housing Federation. “But there’s enough individual things in there that every state, every congressional district can probably say, ‘Hey, there’s like three things in here that are really valuable for us.’”
