This bill creates federal funding and technical assistance programs to help faith-based organizations, colleges and universities, and local governments build and preserve affordable rental housing on their properties. The legislation establishes two main initiatives: a technical assistance program offering resources and guidance on affordable housing development, and a competitive grant program awarding funds to states and local governments that have policies removing barriers to housing construction on religious and educational properties. The bill prioritizes housing for low-income families, homeless individuals, veterans, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations. Funding includes $25 million for technical assistance in 2026 and $10 million annually through 2031, plus $50 million per year in competitive grants from 2026 through 2031, with up to 10 percent available for administrative costs.
