• H.R. 600-To revise the requirements for seller-financed down payments for mortgages for single-family housing insured by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under title II of the National Housing Act, (the whole bill) Federal Housing Administration

Duration: March 1, 2007 to April 1, 2009

General Issues: Housing, Budget/Appropriations, Taxation/Internal Revenue Code

Spending: about $10,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)

It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.

Agencies lobbied since 2007: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Housing & Urban Development - Dept of (HUD)
