THE BILL · H.R. 6644

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

Housing policy shapes how homes are built, financed, repaired, and rented. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act changes many federal housing programs and rules, including those for construction, rental assistance, manufactured homes, mortgages, and home repairs. It also changes banking rules and restricts some large investors from buying single-family homes.
