The 21st Century Road to Housing Act – which already passed the House and Senate – would increase the housing supply and lower costs for American families.

Yesterday, Rep. George Whitesides called on President Trump to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a substantial bipartisan housing package that will increase housing supply and lower costs for American families. Despite Republicans and Democrats coming together to overwhelmingly pass the bill, President Trump has refused to sign it as Americans see their housing costs skyrocket, calling it “unimportant.” 

“I’m here because housing is getting more and more out of reach for our neighbors in the Santa Clarita Valley, Antelope Valley, and San Fernando Valley.” said Rep. Whitesides.“Republicans and Democrats came together to pass a bipartisan bill to lower the cost of rent and mortgages while increasing the supply of affordable housing, but the President refuses to sign it into law. That’s unacceptable, and I’ll keep pushing with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to bring this relief to the hardworking families who need it most.”

The 21st Century Road to Housing Act includes key provisions to broaden access to homeownership, expedite building of manufactured housing, make available small-dollar mortgages, better protect borrowers and families living in public or assisted housing, enhance federal oversight of housing providers, and lay the groundwork for the development of new homes families can afford across America.
