Bipartisan Housing Act Passes Despite Political Divisions
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act has been enacted into law, marking a significant bipartisan achievement in U.S. housing policy. Despite President Trump's refusal to sign it, the bill passed with overwhelming support in both the House and Senate. The legislation aims to expedite environmental reviews for housing projects, increase federal funding for areas that build more housing, and deregulate prefab home construction. However, it includes a controversial provision restricting corporate landlords from buying single-family homes, a measure criticized for being based on misconceptions about their role in the housing crisis.
