Housing for America’s Middle Class Act of 2026

This bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study housing for middle-income households and report to Congress within 1 year. The report would identify obstacles these households face in finding affordable housing and the areas where housing is least affordable and available for them. It would list federal housing programs, including tax credits, grants, and loans, that these households cannot use because of their income. It would also recommend a federal definition of "workforce housing" and analyze how federal programs could be changed or created to include it if funding were provided. The bill defines a middle-income household as one earning above 80 percent and up to 120 percent of the area's median family income.
