  • Regional planning agencies would get funds mainly for planning work. They must use grants to develop housing plans, update zoning codes, expand inspection capacity, and reduce local barriers to housing supply and affordability.
  • States, insular areas, metropolitan cities, and urban counties would use grants to implement housing strategies and plans. They can fund community investments tied to housing goals, adopt reformed zoning and regulatory processes, and boost capacity for inspections and affordability efforts.
  • Grants cannot pay for construction or repairs, administrative costs are capped at 10%, HUD must set up the program within 1 year, and the program ends 5 years after enactment. The program is meant to support location-efficient development and improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

Grants for local affordable housing planning

If enacted, HUD would set up a competitive grant program within 1 year. HUD would award planning grants to States, insular areas, metropolitan cities, urban counties, regional planning agencies, and consortia. Grants would fund planning, zoning reform, housing inspection capacity, and regional community development to increase affordable housing and transit access. Grant money would not pay for construction, alteration, or repair work. Recipients would be limited to using up to 10 percent of funds for administrative costs. HUD would coordinate, to the extent practicable, with the Federal Transit Administration. The program would end five years after enactment and HUD would not be able to establish a new, similar program after that.
