Congress Unites on Housing Bill

Congress just pulled off a rare bipartisan win with the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — a sweeping new housing bill designed to boost construction, ease ownership, and tackle the affordability crisis. It includes banking deregulation to help community lenders, a four-year pause on the Fed’s digital dollar (without touching cash or private crypto), and a major compromise on corporate home buying. Big investors owning over 350 homes can’t buy single-family homes for 15 years — except for manufactured homes, apartments, and rental properties. The bill also speeds up environmental reviews, raises bank investment caps in affordable housing to 20%, and launches a pilot program to convert vacant buildings into homes. With median home prices soaring past $400K and first-time buyer ages climbing, this could be the most consequential housing push in years — and it might finally make homeownership a little less out of reach.
