HR 6768 would establish a new federal grant program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Grants would be awarded competitively to eligible applicants, who would need to demonstrate why they should receive funding. Allowed uses include updating zoning laws, building affordable homes, improving housing inspection programs, and developing community housing plans.
State and local governments, counties, and regional planning agencies could apply for the grants. Residents in participating communities could be affected if their local government uses funds to change housing access, construction, or nearby public transit.
Regional planning agencies would direct funds toward creating and improving housing and community development plans. States, cities, and counties would focus on implementing those plans through zoning changes, housing construction funding, and improved transit access near housing.
