As Democrats scramble to strike a deal on President Biden’s social safety net agenda, Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Beatty says a number of her group’s priorities for Black Americans will be wrapped into the massive bill.
“We're not there yet,” she said. “But shortly we will be there and we will see many of our priorities there. We will see many of the investments that we have been fighting for and working for and leading at the top of that list.”will include funding for housing and vouchers, Historic Black Colleges and Universities, childcare and an extended child tax credit and coverage for more seniors and Medicaid recipients.
“Whether it is $1.7 or $2 trillion, that is a significant amount of investments in our community,” she said. Congress could also use this money, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., said, to address a three-generation backlog of updating public housing and vouchers, which he said is “desperately needed.”
