This week the Senate will consider S. 1846, the Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act. This bill will address some of the most egregious issues with the implementation of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act (Biggert-Waters Act). It will delay higher premium rates for four years; require FEMA to create more accurate flood maps; and ensure that consumers can be reimbursed for successful map appeals. NAHB supports S. 1846.

The implementation of the Biggert-Waters Act has caused serious affordability concerns due to dramatic flood insurance premium increases, as well as FEMA's management of the remapping of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). If not corrected, these issues will continue to severely impact the construction, remodeling, and sale of homes in many communities across the nation.
