The bill combines provisions from earlier House and Senate proposals to address the nationwide shortage of affordable housing.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters say the legislation streamlines federal permitting, encourages zoning reforms, promotes modular and manufactured housing, and expands financing for multifamily developments. It also strengthens support for rural and veteran housing programs while modernizing mortgage options through updates to federal lending programs.<\/p>\n<p>The measure includes provisions intended to limit large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, with the goal of increasing opportunities for individual homebuyers. Additional reforms aim to improve access to credit, encourage community bank participation in mortgage lending, and reduce delays that can slow residential construction.<\/p>\n<p>Housing industry organizations welcomed the bill, arguing that it addresses longstanding obstacles to new housing development while encouraging private-sector investment.<\/p>\n<p>Having passed the House, the amended legislation now returns to the Senate for consideration. If senators approve the revised measure, it will be sent to President Donald Trump for signature, marking a significant step toward comprehensive federal housing reform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Advances Bipartisan Housing Reform Bill to Expand Supply and Improve Affordability The U.S. House of Representatives has approved the amended\u00a021st Century ROAD to Housing Act\u00a0in a bipartisan 396-13 vote, &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=916"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":918,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/916\/revisions\/918"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/watchthenews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
