21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

Sponsor: Rep. Young Kim (R-CA)

Introduced

The bill has been introduced and is awaiting committee action.

In brief

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act revises federal housing programs by increasing loan limits for Federal Housing Administration multifamily mortgage insurance and raising income eligibility thresholds for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The law excludes veteran disability benefits from income calculations for the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program and removes the requirement that manufactured homes include a permanent chassis. It also establishes a grant program for local affordable housing strategies and a pilot program for temperature sensors in federally assisted housing. Introduced by Representative French Hill (R-AR), the bill was signed into law in July 2026.
