AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill makes many changes to federal housing, tax, and energy law. It would double the amount of profit from selling a main home that is excluded from federal income tax, to $500,000 for individuals and $1,000,000 for married couples, and adjust those amounts for inflation. It would create a new federal tax credit for building or fixing up owner-occupied homes in certain lower-income census tracts, and would let ordinary income, not just capital gains, be invested in opportunity zones for tax benefits. It would require community development grant recipients to report on whether they have adopted certain zoning changes, such as allowing duplexes or accessory dwelling units. It would also bar the Department of Energy from setting energy standards for manufactured housing, expand home-buying programs for first responders and military members, and order several government studies on housing.
