Grants to Increase Housing Supply and Affordability in the US
This Act establishes a grant program for local and state authorities to develop and implement plans that increase housing supply and affordability. Citizens may benefit from more available and cheaper housing, especially in high-cost areas. The program prioritizes avoiding the displacement of current residents and supporting construction near public transit and job centers.
