Show full summary
- Families and low-income renters would see guidance aimed at affordability across extremely low to moderate incomes, with "affordable" defined as housing that costs no more than 30 percent of gross income and tools like land banks and community land trusts to preserve long-term affordability.
- Local governments and zoning boards would get model state laws and template reforms to simplify codes, set maximum review timelines, increase by-right duplex/triplex/quadplex options, reduce parking minimums, raise allowable heights and floor area ratios, and remove barriers to accessory dwelling units.
- Developers, transit planners, and builders would face recommendations to promote transit-oriented development, streamline by-right reviews for certain projects, ease rules for manufactured and modular housing, and use appeals and statewide processes when local rules block affordable projects.

Federal guide to help add homes
This bill would direct HUD’s research office to publish final zoning guidelines no later than 3 years after enactment. For the first 2 years, HUD would post draft guidelines for public comment and run a large task force with planners, advocates, builders, local and state officials, transit agencies, and community members. The guidance would suggest steps like less parking, taller buildings, smaller lots, more by-right duplexes/triplexes/quadplexes near transit, faster reviews, and fewer barriers to manufactured and modular homes. It would stress fair housing, local housing targets, transit-oriented development, use of public land, rental registries, and ways to prevent displacement. HUD would report to Congress 5 years after the guidelines are published on which states and localities adopted the recommendations. The bill would authorize $3 million each year for FY2026–FY2030 to carry this out, subject to future appropriations.
Ends federal housing barriers clearinghouse
If enacted, this would repeal the federal Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse. States, cities, planners, and developers who used it would lose that central resource. If enacted, this would take effect right away.
