WASHINGTON, DC (June 17, 2026) |
The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) applauds the House and Senate for having reached an agreement on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, and releases the following statement:
“DCUC commends both the House and Senate regarding this critical housing legislation, and for recognizing the need to address housing affordability across America. Not only will it expand necessary pathways to homeownership but also provides meaningful reforms that can improve utilization of VA home loan benefits and support the financial readiness across military communities,” says Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO, Ret. U.S. Air Force Colonel. “We are further encouraged by the inclusion of Credit Union Board Modernization language, a longstanding priority that reflects the realities of modern credit union governance while preserving strong oversight and accountability.”
“This represents an important step toward addressing one of the most significant challenges facing Americans today,” says Jason Stverak, DCUC Chief Advocacy Officer. “Credit unions across the nation remain dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve the dream of
homeownership while building stronger financial futures. DCUC looks forward to continuing to work with Congress to advance policies that empower credit unions to meet the evolving needs of their members while also promoting greater parity across the financial services sector."
