On December 7, the Senate passed another extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that would keep the NFIP funded through May 31, 2012.  The measure awaits action in the House.  The current extension expires in one week, on December 16.  While the new extension provides more time, it is vital that a longer term measure is passed to remove uncertainty in the housing market.  Congress needs to hear from all REALTORS® that the 5-year measure approved by the House earlier this year must be passed by the Senate and signed into law. The flood insurance Call for Action is still active.  Please contact Congress and urge them to pass the 5-year extension NOW!!!
