Senate passes bill to lower housing costs and restrict Wall Street from buying homes
The measure would cap institutional investors at 350 homes per firm and speed permitting as lawmakers try to ease a nationwide shortage.
- On Monday, the U.S. Senate passed the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in an 85-5 vote, sending sweeping legislation to boost housing supply and limit institutional investor purchases to the House.
- Following months of bicameral negotiations, lawmakers combined House of Representatives and May Senate versions to address the affordability crisis by cutting red tape and incentivizing local housing development.
- Provisions restrict institutional investors to 350 single-family homes per firm and provide regulatory relief for community banks, changes supporters say will expand housing access and help families achieve homeownership.
- House lawmakers are expected to vote on the measure later this week, potentially sending it to President Donald Trump, who has signaled his support for the bipartisan package.
- Amid continued supply constraints, the bill offers a rare bipartisan achievement ahead of 2026 midterm elections, with Congress leaders framing it as a significant step toward improving national housing affordability.
