A strong economy causes an increase in the demand for housing; the increased demand for housing drives real-estate prices and rentals through the roof. And then affordable housing becomes completely inaccessible.
William Baldwin

Although housing sales and starts have cooled to more typical levels, the housing market remains strong and sound. Without the expansion of homeownership and the strength of our housing market, our nation would not have the economic growth we are experiencing today.
Randy Neugebauer

And so the danger for the housing industry is if we see interest rates rise.
Franklin Raines

As many know, and especially those who may have young sons or daughters at colleges or universities, the last thing you want to hear is a call that perhaps one of your children was injured or, even worse, lost their life in a tragic fire at a dorm or campus housing.
Vito Fossella

As mayor of San Francisco, I will provide the vision and work hard to make San Francisco a beautiful, well-planned city with excellent housing and transportation options.

As Secretary of Housing, I do have to express alarm, signal the alarm if you will, that the potential for homelessness to grow is there.
Henry Cisneros

Down in the south, it's how we find the brownfield sites without taking too much land take to meet the tremendous demand for housing, and that's what I've done.
John Prescott

Even six months later, they have not figured out how do we help the people from the area get housing.
Stephanie Tubbs Jones

Randy Neugebauer

HUD's mission is to provide decency and sanitary housing for low and moderate income people in this country.
Alphonso Jackson

I am also committed to providing city employees with housing assistance.
Thomas Menino

I think people need housing. And there's empty buildings, I think people should live in there. If you want to call them squatters, trespassers, hey, I call Wall Street thieves!
Al Lewis

I think that there will always be a need for Housing and Urban Development.
Alphonso Jackson

I was a little lacking in vision as mayor - I failed to understand the significance that housing and the revitalization of housing means for a city.
Henry Cisneros

I was raised in a Bronx public housing project, but studied at two of the nation's finest universities. I did work as an assistant district attorney, prosecuting violent crimes that devastate our communities.
Sonia Sotomayor

I'm proud to report that in 2004 alone, we approved 3,600 new units of housing - our best year ever!
Thomas Menino

If we are to succeed, we must recognize that the community redevelopment is not solely the rehabilitation of housing, or putting a mall in the business strips.
Jane Byrne

In 2003, I introduced and passed The Tornado Shelters Act, which allows local governments to use Community Development Block Grant funds to construct storm shelters in manufactured housing communities.
