  The struggling U.S. housing market is bracing for more problems if Congress is unable to avoid a government shutdown this week.

The article from Newsweek discusses the potential impacts of a government shutdown on the U.S. housing market. If a shutdown occurs, it could lead to significant disruptions due to the furloughing of federal workers, including those at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). This would likely delay mortgage processing, particularly for FHA loans, which are crucial for first-time homebuyers and those with lower credit scores. Additionally, the shutdown might affect the National Flood Insurance Program, potentially halting new policies and renewals, which could delay home sales in flood-prone areas. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's rural housing programs could also face interruptions, impacting homebuyers in rural areas. Furthermore, the shutdown could lead to a slowdown in the housing market as economic uncertainty might deter potential buyers, and the lack of government data releases would make it harder for market analysts to predict trends.
