## Summary

**Speeds housing by widening HUD's use of NEPA categorical exclusions.** The bill would direct the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to reclassify many housing-related activities as exempt or categorically excluded from full NEPA reviews, targeting infill and small-scale projects to speed development. - 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.
