Requires federal housing agency to report on what makes housing expensive.
This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to include details about what makes housing unaffordable in its yearly report. This means HUD would have to identify rules and regulations that act as barriers to affordable housing and suggest ways to fix them. The goal is to give lawmakers and the public a clearer picture of why housing costs are high.
Currently, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) produces an annual report, but it is not specifically required to identify regulatory barriers to affordable housing. If this bill becomes law, HUD's annual report would have to include a clear list of these barriers and ideas for how to reduce or remove them.
