Federal Funds for Affordable Housing Construction

This act aims to increase housing availability by allowing federal Community Development Block Grant Program funds to be used for the construction of new, affordable housing. This means local communities will have easier access to funds for housing projects, potentially lowering rental and purchase costs for citizens.
Key points
Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds can now be used for new affordable housing construction.
These changes apply only to funds appropriated after the act's enactment, meaning new projects can utilize these opportunities.
Supporting housing construction aims to help low and moderate-income individuals find suitable living arrangements.
