Revitalize Our Neighborhoods Act of 2025

This bill would let the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) award competitive grants to states, local governments, and groups of local governments to remove blight in low-income communities. Grant money could pay for demolishing, boarding up, or renovating blighted or abandoned buildings, clearing land, and building or preserving affordable housing, but could not be used to buy occupied homes. Grantees would have to put up matching funds of at least 15 percent, submit a 5-year spending plan, and file yearly reports that HUD would post online. The bill authorizes funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2031 and requires two reports to Congress from the Government Accountability Office.
