House adopts consent calendar, recognizes National Homeownership Month
Summary
The Delaware House passed consent calendar number 24 by voice vote June 10, 2026; the calendar included House Concurrent Resolution 142 recognizing National Homeownership Month, which Representative Johnson said highlights DSHA efforts and continuing affordability challenges.
Dover — The Delaware House on June 10 adopted consent calendar number 24 by voice vote, advancing a package of ceremonial and concurrent resolutions including House Concurrent Resolution 142, which recognizes National Homeownership Month.
Representative Johnson presented H.C.R. 142 on the House floor, citing recent activity by the Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA). "Today, Delaware is home to more than 286,000 owner-occupied housing units," Johnson said, and she noted DSHA provided primary mortgage financing to 1,704 families in 2025, totaling about $498.5 million, and down-payment and closing-cost assistance to 1,365 families totaling about $12.1 million. Johnson added that in 2026 DSHA had, to date, served more than 303 families with roughly $93.3 million in first-mortgage production and about $2.1 million in down-payment assistance.
The representative said the numbers underscore both the agency's role expanding access to homeownership and ongoing affordability and foreclosure concerns. "Helping families purchase homes is not only part of the work — we must also ensure that homeowners have the resources, housing counseling and economic supports to remain in their homes," Johnson said.
The presiding officer called a voice vote on consent calendar number 24; members responded "aye," and the presiding officer announced that "the ayes have it," recording the consent calendar as passed to the House. The consent calendar read included H.C.R. 142 and three Senate concurrent resolutions (199, 201 and 202). No roll-call tally was recorded on the floor for the consent calendar vote.
Following the passage, the House recessed for committee meetings later in the day and recorded referrals of two bills to Appropriations.
What happens next: The items on the consent calendar that require further action will proceed according to normal interchamber and committee processes. The House is in recess for committee meetings until the time announced by the presiding officer.
