Housing Supply and Affordability Act

This bill directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to create, within one year, a competitive grant program for states, insular areas, metropolitan cities, urban counties, and regional planning agencies. Regional planning agencies would use the money for planning, such as writing housing plans and updating zoning codes. States and local governments would use it to carry out housing plans and strategies, run reformed zoning processes, and expand housing inspection capacity. Grants could not pay for construction, alteration, or repair work, and no more than 10 percent could go to administrative costs. The program would end 5 years after the bill becomes law.
