There were two ways that money could have flowed to defense attorneys for foreclosure victims. One, the Treasury Department could have allowed Hardest Hit Fund grant money to the states to go to that purpose. Treasury said they couldn’t do that legally without legislative action, and the House couldn’t get the bill passed on suspension. So the other option was to use the money authorized in Dodd-Frank. That $35 million, a rounding error in the defense budget, never got appropriated, and with a continuing resolution from before Dodd-Frank passed, it never got into the stopgap.
As a result, more families will lose access to the courts, and eventually lose their homes.
It’s not like the continuing resolution wasn’t adjusted at all, by the way. Congress imposed that two-year wage freeze for public employees. They filled the shortfall in the Pell grant student aid program. And they restored funding to low-income heating assistance. But plenty of priorities were left on the table: Head Start, AIDS funding, meals on wheels, low-income child care, the list goes on and on.
In particular, funding for the signature goals of the Obama Administration is now under seal, and won’t be released until Republicans get their way on massive spending cuts, if at all. Fancy bill-signing ceremonies are important and necessary; so is the normal, everyday work of making sure those priorities actually work.
