Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Flood, Mike [R-NE-1]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would require recipients of certain HUD grants to prepare and submit a standardized plan to identify and reduce overly burdensome local land use policies that limit housing supply. The plan would cover a long list of zoning and permitting changes that aim to make it easier to build more and different types of homes.
Show full summary
- Local governments and other HUD grant recipients would have to prepare and submit a Plan To Track and Reduce Overly Burdensome Land Use Policies before receiving covered grants, and the plan must have been prepared at least once in the prior five years. It would apply starting one year after enactment.
- Families and households could benefit if jurisdictions adopt the listed changes because the plan focuses on policies that increase housing density and choices, like accessory dwelling units, duplexes, and transit-oriented zones.
- Builders and developers would see attention on actions that speed construction and lower costs, such as streamlined permitting, off-site prefabrication, office-to-apartment conversions, and reduced parking or minimum unit sizes.
- HUD would set a standardized form by regulation, and the bill says submitted plans are nonbinding and may not be used for enforcement or taken as HUD endorsement.

New housing plan rule for HUD grantees
If enacted, certain HUD section 106 grant recipients would need to file a housing land-use plan before getting funds, and at least once every five years. HUD would set a standard form. For each policy, the plan would state if it was adopted in the last five years, how it would be adopted, and why it would help. Policies could include more by-right multifamily, duplexes and ADUs in single-family zones, smaller lots, higher floor area ratios or height, transit-oriented zones, faster permits, reduced parking, office-to-apartment conversions, property tax abatements, and donating vacant land. Submitting a plan would not affect grant spending, is not an endorsement, and could not be used for enforcement. The rule would start one year after enactment.
