Bill > S4020

This bill, titled the "Housing Supply and Affordability Act," establishes a grant program administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to help eligible entities, such as states, cities, counties, and regional planning agencies, develop and implement plans to address housing challenges. These plans aim to increase the availability and affordability of housing, improve its quality, make it more accessible for people with disabilities, reduce obstacles to building new homes, and coordinate with transportation agencies. While regional planning agencies can use the grants for planning activities like updating zoning codes and improving housing strategies, states, cities, and counties can use them for implementing these plans, funding community investments, and reforming zoning. The grants cannot be used for construction, and eligible entities are limited to using no more than 10% of the funds for administrative costs. The program will be established within one year of the bill's enactment and will terminate five years later, with no new programs being established after that five-year period.
