Congress Passes Bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to Address Housing Shortage

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a bipartisan housing legislation, has overwhelmingly passed Congress and became law without the President's signature on July 11, 2026. The act aims to speed up housing production and lower costs by removing federal regulatory barriers, reforming the HOME program, and limiting large institutional investors in the single-family home market. It also streamlines environmental reviews for small projects and infill housing.
