Congress clears sweeping housing bill with bipartisan votes

newsJun 23, 202620474

Congress passed the 21st Century Road to Housing Act and sent it to President Donald Trump for his signature. The bipartisan package, approved by both chambers, streamlines permitting, relaxes manufactured-housing rules, restricts large-scale corporate ownership of single-family homes, and includes Rep. Al Green’s disaster-recovery funding. Five Republican senators, Tommy Tuberville, Mike Lee, Rick Scott, Rand Paul, and Ron Johnson, voted against the measure while no Senate Democrats opposed it. The law is designed to boost housing supply and lower costs by making it easier to build, curbing investor buy-ups, and addressing appraisal bias and renter protections, changes that could reshape local zoning and affordability outcomes nationwide.
