On July 15, 2026, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held a hearing on the bipartisan Fixing Emergency Management for Americans (FEMA) Act (H.R. 4669). NAR supports the legislation, which would speed disaster assistance, prioritize cost-effective home repairs, strengthen mitigation efforts, create a single application for federal disaster aid programs, and help communities rebuild to more resilient standards that reduce future losses and support insurance availability.
For real estate professionals, the hearing highlighted that Congress increasingly views disaster recovery, housing affordability, and insurance availability as interconnected challenges. NAR will continue advocating for policies that strengthen disaster resilience, support housing recovery, and improve insurance availability, including advancement of the FEMA Act.
