Bill Summary
A BILL To rescind certain immigration enforcement funds and amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide for new credits related to expanding access to housing.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "Make Housing Affordable and Defend Democracy Act," encompasses several significant provisions aimed at addressing housing affordability and supporting first-time homebuyers. The bill rescinds approximately $175.6 billion in immigration enforcement funds across various federal departments and agencies, including the Department of Defense, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of Homeland Security. In addition, the bill introduces several tax credits and programs to support housing access. These include a first-time homebuyer credit of up to $25,000 (with higher amounts for first-generation homebuyers and those in high-cost areas), a starter home construction credit to incentivize building smaller, more affordable homes, an affordable housing conversion credit to encourage transforming non-residential buildings into housing, an enhanced Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) for extremely low-income households, and a new renter tax credit that provides financial relief for renters paying more than 30% of their income in rent. The renter tax credit ranges from 25% to 100% of excess rent depending on the taxpayer's income, with an option for advance monthly payments. The bill also includes $50 million for community outreach to help eligible households understand and access these new housing support programs.
