Woodstock Institute has strongly supported Congressman Watt’s nomination. Watt brings a wealth of housing experience to the FHFA, including more than two decades on the House of Representatives’ Financial Services Committee, advocating for affordable housing, fair lending, and strong consumer protections. Before his election to Congress, Watt worked on real estate and housing issues as a Yale-educated attorney in North Carolina. A wide range of organizations supported his nomination, including the National Association of Realtors, National Association of Home Builders, and Americans for Financial Reform.
