Healthy Affordable Housing Act: Grants for Accessible Homes

This new act establishes a grant and loan program to develop, create, or preserve affordable housing units in areas with shortages. The goal is to ensure these homes are located near essential services like healthcare, grocery stores, and public transportation, improving residents' daily lives.
Key points
The act creates a grant and loan program to support the development or preservation of affordable housing for lower-income individuals.
Supported housing units must be located near key amenities such as health centers, pharmacies, SNAP-accepting grocery stores, childcare, or public transportation.
The program includes a survey of residents to assess the perceived benefits of living near these amenities, helping to evaluate its impact.
The act authorizes $100 million annually from fiscal years 2025 to 2029 for its implementation.
