Bill Summary
A bill to require certain grantees under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to submit a plan to track discriminatory land use policies, and for other purposes. This bill requires certain Community Development Block Grant program recipients to submit to the Department of Housing and Community Development information regarding their implementation of certain land-use policies (e.g., policies for reducing minimum lot size).
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Yes In My Backyard Act, requires certain recipients of Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) to submit a plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) tracking their implementation of various land-use policies. These policies include increasing density zoning, reducing minimum lot sizes, streamlining permitting processes, and eliminating parking requirements, among others. The goal is to discourage the use of discriminatory land-use policies and remove barriers to affordable housing. The requirements would take effect one year after the bill's enactment and apply to CDBG recipients before, on, and after that date.
