Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Flood, Mike [R-NE-1]
Introduced

Show full summary
- Families and renters: Tenant-based rental assistance, supportive services, and homebuyer assistance would be eligible for streamlined review, helping get housing aid and services into communities faster.
- Developers and local grantees: Rehabilitation of 1-to-4 unit buildings, conversions, infill on up to 5 acres, scattered-site projects up to 15 units, utility repairs, and public facility fixes would qualify for categorical exclusions, reducing environmental review burdens for small-scale projects.
- Oversight and measurement: HUD would report annually for five years, starting two years after enactment, summarizing reductions in review times and administrative costs for affordable housing and recommending further changes.

Faster HUD reviews for housing aid and projects
This bill would tell HUD to speed reviews by using exemptions and categorical exclusions set as of January 1, 2025. Exempt items would include rental vouchers, supportive services, homebuyer closing or down payment help, and emergency HVAC or water heater fixes. Exclusions would cover small projects that barely change conditions, like 1–4 unit rehabs and public works repairs with no more than a 20% capacity change. They would also cover up to four scattered-site units, some 5–15 unit builds, office-to-home conversions with no more than a 20% size change, qualifying infill, and voluntary floodplain buyouts.
