Creates programs to help faith groups and colleges build more affordable rental homes.
This bill would set up two new programs to increase affordable rental housing. One program would offer advice and resources to faith-based groups, colleges, and local governments on how to build affordable rental housing on their land. The other would provide competitive grants to local governments. These grants would go to areas with policies that support such housing projects. The goal is to create more housing options for low-income families and those at risk of homelessness.
If this bill passes, the government would create two programs to support affordable housing projects. In the first year (government's budget year 2026), $25,000,000 would be set aside for advice and $50,000,000 for grants. These programs would help increase affordable rental housing on land owned by faith-based groups and colleges.
