Key Points
- Congress would require HUD to write optional guidelines to help cities and states permit certain single-stair apartment buildings.
- The guidance would cover fire safety (sprinklers, smoke detection, ventilation, safe exits) and other ways to meet safety rules.
- HUD would also look at costs and housing affordability, including whether these designs could help add housing in expensive areas.
- The bill says the guidance would not override local building codes; local governments could choose whether to use it.
- HUD could give competitive grants to test pilot projects that study whether these buildings are safe and cost-effective.
