What’s happening with Affordable HOMES Act?

The Affordable HOMES Act passed the House on January 8, 2026, and now sits with the Senate for further consideration. The Senate must act next to move the bill forward, but the 60 vote threshold remains a major hurdle for passage. History shows that most bills passed by the House fail to receive a vote in the Senate, making the path for this legislation uncertain.
