## Summary

**Creates a HUD pilot that provides planning grants, implementation grants, and direct loans to help local governments, tribes, and coalitions develop and carry out housing plans that expand supply and affordability.** HUD will prioritize plans that reduce barriers, avoid displacement, and coordinate housing with transit and job centers. - Families and households: Plans must quantify needs for all income levels, including extremely low-income households, and include strategies to increase supply, improve affordability, and minimize displacement. - Local governments, tribes, and coalitions: Eligible entities can receive grants or loans but must meet non-Federal match rules that scale by population (about 15%–45%). HUD scores applications on supply, equity, leverage of other funds, and regional coordination, and at least 20% of awards must target rural or exurban areas. - Program support and evaluation: HUD must issue recommended policy guidance within 90 days and establish a learning network; recipients must report progress and HUD will study program impacts within five years. *Authorizes $200 million per year for FY2026–2031, totaling $1.2 billion in authorized funding to support the pilot and loans, which increases federal spending.*
