Investments in affordable housing and community development represent an engine of economic and social wealth. For every one dollar spent on affordable housing, at least 10 are returned to the community in the form of increased equity to start new businesses and pay for higher education, job creation and stability, increased independence, and tax revenue creation and more engaged citizens.

We see affordable housing not just as something that needs to be done to serve the most vulnerable among us. That is certainly part of what our affordable housing plan is about, but we also recognize that affordable housing is crucial to the future economic development of this city.

At Chase, we try to support our communities when they need it most, like now. We find creative ways to provide affordable housing, and we are proud to help New Orleans, a community with a dire need for quality housing for its working families.

The poorest of the poor have been hit the hardest by Katrina. Shouldn't we consider not cutting Medicaid $10 billion? Because that is where the money goes, to the poorest of the poor. Cut student loans? Food stamps? These are cuts to the very programs that survivors of Katrina need,

We do not expect any shortages. As far as we know, there is equitable distribution across the country. We have not heard reports of anyone not having vaccine at all.

Cuts that Congress is considering to HUD's budget would deprive 97,000 people of jobs, 156,000 families of affordable housing and 16,000 families and individuals who are homeless or who have AIDS of vital housing assistance, ...

And I think that is why people are staying.

Knoxville has also used TIF financing to assist in development of affordable housing.

If the builder is going to try and resell in a couple of years, he is not going to build a slum. Ten years ago, affordable housing accounted for 80 percent of the market; today, it's only 5 percent. We need affordable housing. And this is going to be a way to get people into housing affordably.

I think Hurricane Katrina has exposed America for what it is, ... I think it's bigger than black and white. I think it has a lot more to do with rich and poor. We've always known that America is a racially driven country. We front like it's all good, but we know the levels of racism that are in America.

This county is in dire need of affordable housing. We have to use every single tool we have to put affordable housing anywhere it can be.

Every single resident of New Orleans, regardless of their wealth or status, will have terrible losses and life-altering experiences, ... suffered the most from Katrina because they always suffer the most.
