## Summary

**This bill would require Community Development Block Grant recipients to prepare plans that track and reduce overly burdensome land use policies.** The aim is to push local zoning and permitting changes that increase housing supply and affordability. - Local grant recipients would have to submit a description for each listed land use policy at least once every 5 years, explaining whether they adopted it, how they plan to adopt it, and the expected benefits. - The Department of Housing and Urban Development would create a standardized reporting form and offer assistance to communities on zoning challenges. The bill forbids using the reports to take enforcement actions. - Jurisdictions would be prompted to consider specific reforms like allowing duplexes and accessory dwelling units, reducing parking minimums, streamlining permitting, enabling office-to-apartment conversions, and creating transit-oriented or higher-density zones. - The effort targets more housing and affordability, aiming to ease burdens on cost-burdened households and support programs serving vulnerable populations.
