Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE) and Representative Kim Schrier (WA-8) just introduced the Permanent Housing Affordability Act. This bill will help communities by:
- Funding construction loan programs
- Granting support to acquire vacant land & properties
- Letting HUD sell surplus federal land below market rates
- Providing research, guidance, and best practices for shared equity homeownership
This is a major step toward stronger, more connected communities with long-term access to safe, affordable homes.
