Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to submit an annual report to Congress analyzing what states and local governments are doing to address the affordable housing shortage. The report will draw information from an existing federal clearinghouse that collects data on state and local housing laws, regulations, and policies, and will include policy recommendations Congress can use to support the most successful approaches. The bill aims to help Congress understand which state-level strategies are working to increase affordable housing and reduce the burden of high housing costs on renters and homebuyers, so the federal government can better support effective solutions. There is no specific funding amount or timeline mentioned beyond the requirement for annual reports going forward.
