Postal Service (USPS) property for affordable housing projects while protecting postal assets from sale. “Utah desperately needs more housing, and the Postal Service needs new sources of revenue; this common-sense legislation helps accomplish both,” Sen. Curtis said. If enacted, S. 5298 would set guardrails on housing construction by USPS by allowing for the lease, but prohibiting the sale, of Postal Service property for housing construction and ensuring USPS maintains discretion over its real estate assets. Additionally, the bill would require housing units constructed on Postal Service property to include tenant affordability restrictions on at least 20 percent of the units, among other provisions, the summary says. “With this legislation, we’re not only bringing new, affordable homes to communities across the country, we’re also working to shore up the Postal Service so that it can continue serving Americans for generations to come.
