Gallego supports plan to build housing on federal lands
Sen. Ruben Gallego of Arizona voiced support for President Trump’s proposal to build affordable public housing on federal lands, according to an April 24 report by The Hill. In a letter to federal officials, Gallego commended the formation of the Joint Task Force on Federal Land for Housing and called for a “balanced approach” that includes environmental stewardship and respect for tribal sovereignty.
The task force, established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Interior Department in March, aims to identify underused federal lands and streamline their development for residential use. Gallego requested transparency on the task force’s membership, meeting notes and plans for coordination with rural and tribal communities.
