Republicans appear to be struggling to retain control of Congress as the November election approaches, but a major shift in housing-related congressional leadership posts in the 110th Congress appears likely, no matter how the voting turns out. The Democrats need to pick up 15 seats to take over the House, but even if the Republicans retain control, retirements will bring changes in some key posts.

There will probably be more stability in that chamber if the Republicans retain their majority.
