Congress passed a last-minute spending deal Saturday to avert a government shutdown and extend the authority of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
A lapse of the NFIP would have disrupted the purchase of flood insurance in more than 20,000 communities nationwide. Just one inch of flooding can cause $25,000 in structural damage, and without access to flood insurance, families must rely on severely limited federal disaster aid.
The bipartisan agreement funds the government at 2023 levels through Nov. 17, ensuring pay for federal workers and the military, as well as extensions for other vital programs like the Federal Aviation Administration.
NAR launched a Call for Action Friday night as Congress threatened the first government shutdown in almost five years. In the urgent message, NAR mobilized its 1.5 million members to contact Congress and warn of the dangers of letting the NFIP lapse during a shutdown. By Saturday morning, tens of thousands of REALTORS® nationwide had already answered the call.
The national effort capped a week of action by NAR’s advocacy team. NAR issued a targeted Call for Action on the NFIP earlier in the week through its Federal Political Coordinator (FPC) program. The program aims to reach and educate all 535 members of Congress on the NFIP’s critical role in the economy. All of California’s FPCs actively lobbied their Members of Congress to help prevent a lapse in the program.
Because this is a short-term extension, NAR is keeping its call for action active and will continue to work with Congressional leaders during the next 45 days to ensure NFIP is reauthorized for a longer period of time and does not suffer a harmful lapse. Members are encouraged to use the link in the original Call for Action email they received to thank legislators for not allowing the program to lapse and to work towards a longer-term solution.
This primer details how a shutdown affects the real estate economy, which makes up nearly 20% of the U.S. economy. The primer looks at how a range of programs are affected, from EPA wetlands designations to rural housing programs and the EB-5 Visa program.
