## Summary

**This bill would create the United States Interagency Council on Housing Affordability and Preservation to lead** coordinated federal action on affordable housing and preservation. The Council would develop policy to increase and preserve affordable housing, advance fair housing principles, improve fairness in rental markets, and build a national government-private partnership across federal, state, and local levels. - Families and renters: The Council would target federal policy toward increasing and preserving affordable units and making rental markets fairer. That could change which housing projects and supports get prioritized at the federal level. - State and local governments and private partners: The bill would create a national public-private partnership to carry out preservation and production efforts and to coordinate resources and technical support across all government levels. - Federal agencies and public accountability: The Council would assign broad interagency coordination duties to align housing and related supports across agencies. It would also require strategic planning, regular reporting, and public engagement with the President and Congress to track progress.
