Local communities would get grants to speed up building mixed-income housing.

This bill would let the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) give money to local governments and tribes. These grants would help them choose pre-approved building plans for mixed-income housing. The goal is to make it faster and easier to build new homes in communities.

What Would Change

Currently, there is no specific federal grant program from HUD to help local communities select pre-reviewed housing designs. If this bill becomes law, HUD would be able to give grants to local governments, municipal groups, and Indian tribes for this purpose. This would help streamline local building and permitting processes, aiming to speed up the construction of mixed-income housing, with at least 10% of the grant money going to rural areas.

Key Provisions

Lets local governments, municipal groups, and Indian tribes get federal grants to choose pre-approved housing designs.
Requires at least 10% of the grant money each year to go to rural areas.
Requires communities getting grants to report on how the money helped build affordable housing.
Encourages communities to share information about the pre-approved designs they use online.
Lets HUD ask for grant money back if communities don't adopt the designs within 5 years.
Authorizes Congress to set aside money to pay for this program.
