Key Points

• Creates $2 billion-a-year HUD grants for states, cities, and tribes that change zoning and other rules to make it easier to build affordable homes.
• Puts major federal money into housing: $48 billion a year for a national housing trust fund (2025–2034), $3 billion a year for a housing investment fund, and $70 billion for public housing repairs in 2025.

Also raises estate taxes on very large estates and
