Bill > S1614

This bill, known as the Yes In My Backyard Act, aims to discourage the use of discriminatory land use policies and remove barriers to making housing more affordable. The key provision is that recipients of certain grants under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 must submit a plan every 5 years that describes whether they have already adopted various land use policies, such as enacting high-density zoning, allowing duplexes and manufactured homes, and reducing parking requirements. This plan is intended to track the recipient's progress in implementing these policies, which are designed to further the original intent of the Community Development Block Grant program.
