Federal grants would help cut local taxes for developers building new housing.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help developers pay for state and local taxes and fees when building housing. This could make it easier to build more homes, especially affordable ones, by requiring local governments to also cut property taxes by at least 50% for these projects. The program would be run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Today, developers building housing developments do not have a specific federal grant program to help them pay for state and local taxes and fees. If this bill passes, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would create a grant program. This program would offer developers federal money to offset these costs, but only if state and local governments agree to cut property taxes for those housing projects by at least 50%.
