The home improvement retailer, Home Depot, is advocating for increased efforts from Congress in revitalizing the housing market. The company is urging lawmakers to take action in order to stimulate growth in the housing sector, which has been facing challenges. This push for intervention comes as the number of new housing starts has declined by 5% in the last month, reaching a total of 1.5 million. Home Depot is emphasizing the importance of addressing this issue promptly to ensure the recovery and prosperity of the housing industry.
