ADVOCACY WIN! Landmark Housing Bill Clears Congress
- Congress passed landmark housing affordability legislation Tuesday, advancing one of the most significant federal housing packages in nearly two decades.
- The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act moved forward on a House vote of 358-32. It now heads to President Trump, who is expected to soon sign the measure into law.
- The legislation is the culmination of nearly two years of sustained advocacy by the National Association of REALTORS® and its nearly 1.5 million members. During that time, NAR worked closely with lawmakers in both parties, holding thousands of meetings with members of Congress and their staffs, commissioning original research and public opinion polling, launching targeted calls for action and providing technical expertise on housing policy solutions.
