Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would direct the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide rental vouchers to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with incomes below 50 percent of the area median income, starting with 250,000 vouchers in 2026 and 400,000 each year after. Vouchers could not be conditioned on sobriety or joining a program, and youth and families with children would get priority. States that miss yearly targets for housing homeless people could face cuts to federal highway funding. The bill would also fund construction of low-income rental housing, a modular construction grant program, and grants to local areas that loosen zoning rules, and it would expand several federal tax credits for affordable housing and home buying.
