AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would triple the yearly cap on federal low-income housing tax credits that states can award. It would authorize new federal programs and funding for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, including a $5 billion-per-year workforce housing block grant to states, a $1 billion-per-year housing gap-financing program, grants to convert hotels and government buildings into housing or shelters, and increased funding for existing housing, homelessness, rural, tribal, elderly, and disability housing programs. It would authorize funding to add 1,000,000 housing vouchers by 2035 and create a federal Office of Eviction Prevention and a mental health center for unhoused people. Construction work paid for by many of these programs would have to pay locally prevailing wages under the Davis-Bacon Act.
