House passes sweeping bill to lower housing costs, sending it to Trump’s desk
The measure would expand financing, add renter protections and fund local housing projects as lawmakers seek relief from a shortage of 10 million homes, analysts said.
- On Tuesday, the House passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act 358-32, sending the bipartisan legislation to President Donald Trump for his expected signature Wednesday at the Capitol.
- Lawmakers advanced the package to address the nation's housing affordability crisis, which includes a shortage of 10 million homes and rising costs that have stifled market activity.
- The bill expands financing for "innovative housing" like modular homes, reforms zoning regulations, and caps single-family home purchases by institutional investors at 350 to boost supply.
- While the Senate passed the legislation 85-5 on Monday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., opposed the House process because it excluded the SAVE America Act, which requires voter identification.
- Democrats and Republicans eager to campaign on affordability ahead of the 2026 midterm elections pushed the measure through, marking a rare moment of cooperation in a divided Congress.
