11 National Organizations Commend the House for its Work, Now Call on Senate to Swiftly Pass the Act

The undersigned housing groups representing thousands of housing providers and tens of millions of residents commend the House of Representatives for its bipartisan passage of the recently amended 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

The revised Act, like all compromise legislation, is not perfect. Nevertheless, it is one that our organizations support as it encompasses some of the most significant housing proposals in a generation.
As the process moves forward, it will be vital that the final language safeguards millions of BTR homes and the individuals and families that are building their lives in them.

The Act includes many meaningful reforms that will help modernize federal housing programs, reduce barriers to development, and encourage the production and preservation of more housing nationwide. This revised legislation will help communities expand housing supply, improve affordability, and create more pathways to both rental housing and homeownership.

In the days to come, we look forward to working with lawmakers and the Department of the Treasury to finalize important aspects of the bill around implementation and interpretation and make sure that BTR housing can continue to play such a robust and vital role in providing the rental housing the nation needs.

Now, as the President has indicated that he will sign the revised Act, this Coalition urges the Senate to pass this major legislation.

The amended 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a key win for members of Congress, the Administration and, most importantly, the American people.
