Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would direct the Housing Department to publish zoning “best practices” meant to help communities build more homes at different price levels.
- The guidance could cover changes like smaller lot sizes, fewer parking rules, allowing backyard homes, and letting small multi-unit buildings be built more easily.
- HUD would have up to 3 years after the law takes effect to publish the final guidelines, with draft versions and public comments over the first 2 years.
- A task force of builders, local planners, housing advocates, and residents would help shape the recommendations before they are finalized.
- The bill would also shut down an existing federal housing-regulation information website and would fund the new work at $3 million per year from 2026 to 2030.
