BREAKING NEWS
CONGRESS PASSES HOUSING AFFORDABILITY BILL
Congress overwhelmingly passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, but Trump refuses to sign it into law. The legislation is aimed at tackling the housing affordability crisis and currently heads to the House of Representatives for final approval.
Key Provisions of the Bill
Restrictions on Institutional Investors: The bill directly targets Wall Street and large corporate funds by banning institutions that own 350 or more single-family homes from purchasing any additional properties.
Supply and Development: It loosens federal regulations, cuts red tape to make home construction easier, and provides funding to convert abandoned buildings into new housing.
Built-to-Rent Exceptions: While corporate purchases are severely restricted, the legislation carves out exceptions for new "build-to-rent" projects to keep rental housing supply available.
Track the status of the legislation on the Congress.gov tracker or review comprehensive analyses of the act provided by the Bipartisan Policy Center.
