NAR Pushes Forward on Housing Supply Solutions
The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) continues to advocate for policies that increase housing supply and help meet both current and future demand. Among these efforts:
The ROAD to Housing Act (S.2651) aims to streamline the permitting process and invest in critical infrastructure—helping accelerate housing production and reduce costs for homebuyers.
The Revitalizing Downtowns and Main Streets Act (H.R.2410) focuses on converting underutilized office and retail spaces into housing, bringing new life to downtown areas and supporting more walkable communities.
While these initiatives represent meaningful progress, they are just part of a broader solution. Expanding housing supply remains essential to improving affordability and strengthening local economies.
RPAC supports candidates who support state legislation, local ordinances, and policies that promote home ownership, attainable housing, and positive economic growth for our region. By participating in RPAC, you help NC REALTORS® advocate for policies that support the real estate industry and protect homeowners across North Carolina.
