The Affordable Housing Supply Chain Clarity Act directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to review how the "Build America, Buy America" law applies to the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, which funds affordable housing development across the country. Within 180 days of the bill's passage, HUD must complete this review and then issue updated guidance within 90 days explaining how the domestic purchasing requirements work for affordable housing projects. The bill requires HUD to submit a full report to Congress within 270 days describing the review results and new guidance. This legislation aims to clear up confusion among housing developers and local governments about which American-made materials and products they must use when building affordable housing with federal funding, reducing delays and uncertainty in housing construction projects.
