The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a major bipartisan housing bill, the Housing for the 21st Century Act, aimed at addressing the nation’s housing shortage and growing affordability challenges. The legislation seeks to reduce regulatory barriers, encourage new home construction, modernize federal housing programs, and expand access to financing for development projects. While the bill will not create immediate change, it lays out the groundwork for meaningful reforms designed to increase housing supply and cut through the bureaucratic obstacles that drive costs and delay construction. After receiving overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, the measure now heads to the Senate for consideration.
