Interagency Council on Affordable Housing Act of 2026

This bill would create a new independent federal agency, the United States Interagency Council on Housing Affordability and Preservation, made up of the heads of 21 federal agencies and offices. The Council would write a National Strategic Plan to Preserve Affordable Housing within 12 months and update it every year, review federal housing programs, and give technical help to states, local governments, and nonprofits through 5 to 10 regional coordinators. Member agencies would report each year on their affordable housing programs, and each state would name a contact person to receive information from the Council. The bill would authorize $4.8 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
