The legislative package includes a pair of bills Senator Fetterman introduced — the Whole-Home Repairs Act and the Housing Supply Frameworks Act — and were the result of working across the aisle and putting the housing needs of hardworking Americans first. “I’ve consistently maintained that our housing crisis needs real solutions that help address the problems at the center. I’m proud to see both of my bills included in the housing package that just passed the House — one ensures families can stay in their homes, and the other helps state partners enact zoning reforms,” said Senator Fetterman. “I want to thank State Senator Nikil Saval for being a strong advocate for the Whole-Home Repairs program in Pennsylvania and helping bring this to the national level, and especially grateful to Senator Lummis and all my colleagues who supported the Whole-Homes Repairs Act and Housing Supply Frameworks Act here in Congress. I remain committed to finding more solutions on the housing needs for all Americans, and look forward to the president signing this housing deal into law.” Whole-Home Repairs Act Background The Whole-Home Repairs Act has been a day-one priority since Senator Fetterman was sworn in. In March of 2024 , Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval — who championed the successful program at the state level — joined Senator Fetterman in introducing this legislation and dropping the bill text off to the floor of the Senate. “When we passed the Whole-Home Repairs Program, our hope was to provide Pennsylvanians with the means to stay warm, safe, and dry in their homes, and to offer a blueprint for other states grappling with how to preserve their aging housing stock and protect the healt","source_url":"https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/bipartisan-housing-legislation-overwhelmingly-passes-congress-includes-two-fetterman-bills/","source_date":null},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"Fetterman, Colleagues Demand Trump Administration to Stop Stalling Toxic Chemical Cleanups, Protect Military Families and Nearby Communities","detail":"Trump Administration Delaying Toxic PFAS Chemical Cleanup at Approximately 150 Military Installations, Putting Remediation Efforts on Hold for Nearly a Decade in Some Cases WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) joined 27 Senate Democratic colleagues in demanding the Trump administration reverse its decision to delay the cleanup of toxic chemicals at military installations across the country and take action to protect military families and nearby communities by addressing contamination at the affected sites. In a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the senators called on the Trump administration to immediately restore the previous timetable for remediating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination at U.S. military bases and to reverse plans that would further delay long-overdue cleanups. “For years, communities contaminated by PFAS from nearby DOD installations in our states have waited for the DOD to take action. We request that the Department reverse its decision, return to the previous timetable released in December 2024, and accelerate efforts to remediate confirmed PFAS contamination,” the senators wrote. At least 700 military sites in the United States are known or suspected to have PFAS contamination from Department of Defense (DOD) activities. DOD’s delayed timetable would postpone cleanup efforts at approximately 150 of them, in some cases for nearly a decade. Specifically, DOD pushed back the time frame of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) phase for these bases, which involves collecting detailed information on the nature and extent of the PFAS contamination and conducting a study to evaluate potential options for cleanup. PFAS chemicals are widespread contaminants found in many industrial applications and especially around U.S. military installations. PFAS exposure is linked to an array of health problems, including various cancers, reduced immune function, reproductive challenges, birth","source_url":"https://www.fetterman.senate.gov/fetterman-colleagues-demand-trump-administration-to-stop-stalling-toxic-chemical-cleanups-protect-military-families-and-nearby-communities/","source_date":null},{"topic":"Housing","stance":"The Philadelphia Inquirer: A bipartisan Senate housing bill includes a national version of a Pa. home repair program","detail":"Sen. John Fetterman has sought to replicate state Sen. Nikil Saval’s Whole Home Repairs policy, which created a grant program for homeowners and small landlords to fix their properties. By Jake Blumgart Washington, D.C. Tuesday saw a rare act of bipartisan comity in Washington D.C., as the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs unanimously voted for an omnibus housing policy bill that includes a national version of a Pennsylvania program . The bill, crafted by Committee Chairman Sen. Tim Scott (R., N.C.) and Ranking Member Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), includes provisions based on state Sen. Nikil Saval’s (D., Philadelphia) Whole Home Repairs policy, which created a grant program for income-qualifying homeowners and small landlords to fix their properties. Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) has sought to replicate the policy at the national level in Congress since 2024 as a means to addressing the housing crisis. The Senate version includes $30 million for a national pilot program. “I’ve been pushing Whole-Home Repairs since day one because it’s a tested solution to the housing crisis that’s already delivered real results in Pennsylvania,” said Fetterman. “The Banking Committee’s unanimous vote to advance it today proves that everyone, regardless of party, recognizes this crisis demands real solutions, not half-measures.” The Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream to Housing Act is notable for advancing with bipartisan support on a deeply divided Capitol Hill, and because Congress rarely addresses housing policy, usually leaving the issue to states and localities. The bill is a grab bag of existing and new housing legislation, which seeks to make home building and preservation easier by lowering federal regulatory barriers, incentivizing local governments to address exclusionary zoning, and authorizing the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create new programs including a federal version of Whole Home Repairs.

Representatives John Garamendi (D-CA-08) and Trent Kelly (R-MS-01) introduced the House companion legislation. “When it comes to maintaining our competitive edge against China, failure is not an option. The  SHIPS for America Act  will help the United States compete with China’s production of ships while creating new manufacturing jobs in shipyards across the nation,”  said Senator Fetterman.  “Not only will this strengthen our national security, but it’ll also grow our local economies and support working families right here in Pennsylvania. I’m proud to support this commonsense, bipartisan legislation that will help us build more ships in America and stand up to China.” There are currently 80 U.S.-flagged vessels in international commerce while China has 5,500. The  SHIPS for America Act  aims to close this gap and boost the U.S. Merchant Marine by establishing national oversight and consistent funding for U.S. maritime policy, making U.S.-flagged vessels commercially competitive in international commerce by cutting red tape, rebuilding the U.S. shipyard industrial base, and expanding and strengthening mariner and shipyard worker recruitment, training, and retention.  The  SHIPS for America Act  would:     Coordinate U.S. maritime policy by establishing the position of Maritime Security Advisor within the White House, who would lead an interagency Maritime Security Board tasked with making whole-of-government strategic decisions for how to implement a National Maritime Strategy.
