The article highlights bipartisan support, provisions intended to increase housing supply and curb institutional investors’ home purchases, and criticism that the bill includes excessive government spending.
The article reports that the Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act on Monday by an 85-5 vote, and that the bill now goes to the House. It describes the package as having nearly 60 provisions, including changes to permitting, housing construction grants, and limits on institutional investors buying residential properties. The author says the bill is intended to lower homeownership costs and prevent a “nation of renters.”
Elizabeth Warren, described as one of the package’s architects, said its changes to existing programs could make housing more affordable and help increase supply. Katie Britt said the package includes her Helping More Families Save Act, which she said would expand participation in HUD’s Family Self Sufficiency Program. Bernie Moreno discussed a provision for pre-approved housing designs, while Chip Roy criticized the bill as costly and overly expansive government. The article says the measure still needs House approval.
