I am so thrilled about this new bill that was just passed! It's called the Fair Housing for Survivors Act of 2026, and it's going to make a huge difference for survivors of domestic violence. This bill will provide much-needed protections and resources for survivors to help them find safe and stable housing. As a Democrat from NC, I fully support this bill and believe it will have a positive impact on so many lives. I can't wait to see the positive changes that this bill will bring about!
