## Summary

**Would speed housing approvals by funding pre‑reviewed designs to build small mixed‑income housing.** This bill would let HUD award grants to local governments, municipal organizations, and Indian tribes to pick pattern‑book plans that fast‑track permitting for low‑rise and mid‑rise buildings. The Impact: - Families and renters: Could see more mixed‑income and affordable units if localities adopt pre‑reviewed designs, with grant recipients required to report permits and units produced. - Local governments, municipal groups, and Indian tribes: Would get grants to select designs; grant money could not be used for construction and may have to be repaid if a selected design is not adopted within 5 years. - Rural communities: At least 10% of annual grant funds would be reserved for eligible entities in rural areas. - HUD and planners: HUD would collect and publish best practices and may set aside up to 5% of appropriated funds for technical assistance and pre‑grant help. *Would authorize such sums as are necessary to carry out the program, with HUD allowed to reserve up to 5% for technical assistance.*
