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.
