Task Force on the Impact of the Affordable Housing Crisis Act of 2026

This bill would create an 18-member federal task force to study how a lack of affordable housing affects areas of life such as education, jobs, income, health, nutrition, and transportation. The task force would also estimate the costs that a lack of affordable housing creates for federal, state, and local programs, and make recommendations to Congress. Members would be appointed by Senate and House leaders of both parties within 180 days and must be researchers, experts, or people with related government program experience. The task force would hold a 90-day public comment period, submit a public final report to Congress, and end within 2 years after all members are appointed.
