AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to set up a demonstration program within one year. The program would award up to 15 competitive grants to local governments or public housing agencies whose workforce has grown because of federal infrastructure or CHIPS Act investments and that have a housing shortage. Applicants must list current and planned zoning changes, and the money could be used to convert commercial space, build or fix housing, give technical help to developers, and buy properties. At least 30 percent of units built or improved must be affordable housing, and units must stay workforce or affordable housing for at least 5 years. The program would be paid for by moving 10 percent of identified COVID-era relief funds to HUD.
