The ROAD to Housing Act is one of the few substantive bills passed by Congress in recent years, and the first major housing bill enacted since the 1990s. Despite the bipartisan support, however, even supporters say it doesn’t do enough to ease America’s housing affordability crunch. While most of the legislation focuses on homeowner housing, a couple of provisions address important challenges for subsidized rental housing. On the same day that the House passed the bill, the House Appropriations Committee released its fiscal year 2027 budget proposal for Transportation, Housing and Urban Development. It included cuts to public housing, Community Development Block Grants, the Home Investment Partnership Program and the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
