Congress passed a bipartisan housing bill, but President Donald Trump canceled its planned signing, saying he would wait until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. Elizabeth Warren criticized the decision and described the housing bill’s provisions and next steps.
President Donald Trump canceled a planned signing of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, saying it would wait until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. The housing bill had passed the House and Senate. Trump called it a bill centered on Elizabeth Warren and said it was less important than the voting legislation. Warren said the cancellation showed indifference to families facing high costs.
The article describes measures to encourage housing construction, reform zoning and permitting, support manufactured and modular homes, and fund home repairs. It identifies Warren and Republican senators Tim Scott as Senate leaders of the bill, along with Republican Representative J. French Hill and Democratic Representative Maxine Waters in the House. Warren said she was working on a follow-up bill; experts cited in the article said the legislation did not address labor shortages or provide some funding that could encourage lower-cost construction.
