This bill would require the federal government to find and review rules that raise housing costs. It would expand tax breaks to encourage building and selling homes in lower-income areas, and make it easier for communities to turn unused federal land into affordable housing.
First-time buyers, middle-income buyers, longtime homeowners, renters in public housing, veterans, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and volunteer first responders would have access to expanded programs. Local governments would also gain more flexibility in housing and zoning decisions.
If passed, more people in certain professions and income levels could qualify for discounted home-buying and public housing programs. Communities near toxic waste sites, people experiencing homelessness, and residents in public housing with inspection backlogs could see new studies and reports directed at their situations.
