AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Affordable Housing Barriers Transparency Act," amends the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act to require that the Department's annual report include a specific section identifying significant regulatory barriers that hinder the creation of affordable housing. These "regulatory barriers" are defined by existing law as rules or requirements that make it more difficult or expensive to build or provide affordable housing. The bill mandates that the report not only identify these obstacles but also discuss and analyze potential solutions for reducing or removing them, providing a clearer understanding of the challenges and potential remedies in the affordable housing sector.
