A popular senior housing finance program that was previously under fire received a short term reprieve—but lawmakers continue to discuss dismantling or reforming it.
The EB-5 financing program has been extended exactly as is until September 30, 2016, but calls to reform the program with stricter regulations have remained. The provision to extend the program without major changes was approved within the federal funding Omnibus Bill by Congress on December 15. But in early February, the program was back up for debate.
