Virginia Delegation Helps Lead Passage of Bipartisan Housing Legislation as Trump Stays Reticent
The measure passed with veto-proof support and would ease building rules, expand rental aid and add renter protections.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump refused to sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, conditioning his signature on Congress first passing his SAVE America Act, which requires voter identification and proof of citizenship.
- Passed by Congress earlier this week with overwhelming bipartisan support, the legislation aims to reduce housing costs and increase supply by streamlining environmental regulations and limiting institutional investor purchases of single-family homes.
- Republican Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence that Trump will sign the legislation within the 10-day window, stating "the president, when we go through the details of the bill, he's going to understand that it's a good product."
- If the president continues to withhold his signature, the act will automatically become law after 10 days, excluding Sundays; however, the delay could stall crucial planning for new housing construction projects.
- Economists note that while the bipartisan measure is a "modest first step," it will not immediately resolve the housing crisis, which remains complicated by elevated mortgage rates and limited inventory.
