Low-Interest Loans for Building Long-Term Affordable Housing.

This law establishes a new federal fund to support the construction and renovation of homes by providing low-interest loans (maximum 3% interest) to non-profit organizations and local governments. Crucially, these homes must be sold and remain affordable for 30 years exclusively for families earning up to 120% of the area median income. The goal is to increase the supply of permanently affordable housing for moderate-income citizens.
