The House and Senate are back in session this week and will consider various legislation. The Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee will conduct a nomination hearing on Sandra Thompson to be Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency Thursday.

Thompson has served as FHFA acting director since June. President Joe Biden nominated her to serve as director in December. CUNA has met with Thompson repeatedly on credit union housing finance priorities, but does not take a position on presidential nominations.
