Key Points

Lets cities and states use a well-known community grant program to build new affordable housing, not just fix up existing places.
Keeps the focus on helping low- and moderate-income residents by making clear the rules cover new construction too.
Could make it easier for local governments to increase housing supply where shortages are pushing up rents and prices.
Only applies to grant money Congress provides after the law takes effect, so it would not change how older funds can be used.
