HR6644 — Housing for the 21st Century Act

*A federal push to increase housing supply by modernizing zoning and reforming housing programs.* The bill pairs model zoning guidelines and local planning pilots with HOME program changes and multiple HUD pilots to speed production and improve tenant supports. - Families and renters: HOME program rules harmonize income limits to 100% of area median income and raise homeownership eligibility to 110% AMI, expanding who can get help for rental and homebuying. Tenants in federally assisted housing gain new supports such as an eviction helpline and pilots for escrow accounts and internet-connected temperature sensors to track habitability. - Local governments and planners: HUD must publish model zoning guidelines within 3 years and recipients must report on land-use policy adoption. The bill funds pattern-book grants and planning/implementation pilots so jurisdictions can adopt pre-approved designs and streamline permitting. - Builders and manufactured housing sector: The law lets manufactured homes be built without a permanent chassis and requires new federal standards plus state certification within 1 year to ensure parity in financing, titling, and installation.
