House overwhelmingly passes sweeping bipartisan housing package
The bipartisan bill passed 390-9 aims to cut regulatory barriers, modernize HUD programs, and expand funding flexibility to address the national housing shortage and affordability crisis.
- On Monday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Housing for the 21st Century Act in a 390-9 vote, sending the bipartisan package to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
- Led by Rep. French Hill, House Financial Services Committee chair, and Rep. Maxine Waters, ranking member, the bill aims to fast-track construction and give the Department of Housing and Urban Development more flexibility to address the housing shortage.
- The legislation would update HOME Investment Partnerships Program and Community Development Block Grant Program rules, allowing up to 20% of CDBG funds for housing and requiring annual HUD secretary testimony with zoning pilot programs.
- The vote now sets up interchamber negotiations as the bill faces a complicated path in the U.S. Senate and will test Congress's willingness to negotiate, supporters say.
- The bill would repeal a permanent-chassis requirement for manufactured homes to lower costs, promote point-access buildings and modular construction, and a Tuesday hearing will examine institutional buyer limits with Treasury definitions.
