Congress Extends Government and NFIP Funding Through Dec. 20

With the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and federal government just days away from a funding lapse, Congress yesterday approved legislation to extend current federal government funding levels, including the NFIP, through Dec. 20.

NAHB believes that the NFIP is critically important for the economy, and the housing industry specifically. Moving forward, we will continue to work with Congress to achieve a long-term reauthorization of the NFIP that will keep the program fiscally sound and let builders provide safe and affordable housing.
