The National Flood Insurance Program Extended Through September

NFIP EXTENDED TROUGH SEPTEMBER 2019
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has been extended through September . On Monday, two days into the start of hurricane season, Congress passed the bill that stopped the program from expiring. This is the twelfth time in 2 years the program has been extended.
It’s no secret the program needs serious work - but with the extension through September, does that give Congress enough time to make the changes needed to make the program successful? Only time will tell.
A huge thank you to those closely involved in bringing about these recent extensions as well as the ongoing hard work to bring about change to the program.
Last week, NAR President Kevin Sears checked in from the NAR Broker Summit, where he learned new tools to strengthen his business alongside several hundred fellow brokers. Next stop, Washington, DC for the REALTORS® Legislative Meetings, where we’ll show Congress our grassroots strength in action. We encourage you to watch Kevin’s video here to learn more about what NAR is advocating for this year at RLM. As always, the overarching theme is increasing access to homeownership. This video is also in the video section of our website. Stay tuned for Kevin’s next update.
