9 National Organizations Commend Lawmakers in House, Senate and the President for their Commitment to Housing Affordability and Opportunity
Washington, D.C.—The undersigned housing groups representing thousands of housing providers and millions of residents congratulate the Members of Congress and the President for the passage and enactment of the amended 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
The most important housing legislation in a generation, this Act will modernize federal housing programs, reduce barriers to development and encourage the production and preservation of more housing nationwide. The revised bill will help communities expand housing supply, improve affordability and create more pathways to both rental housing and homeownership.
As a Coalition, we congratulate all partners, stakeholders and lawmakers involved on their steadfast commitment to improving the nation’s housing. This bipartisan, bicameral victory shows that hard work, dedication and legislative creativity can still deliver important solutions for the American people.
As we honor the nation’s 250th anniversary, we join with members of the House and Senate, as well as the Administration, in celebrating this achievement.
In the days to come, we look forward to continuing to partner with policymakers on the implementation process to ensure we can build and preserve the housing Americans needs.
Based in Washington, D.C., the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) is where rental housers and suppliers come together to help meet America’s housing needs by creating inclusive and resilient communities where people build their lives. We bring together the owners, managers, developers and suppliers who provide rental homes for 40 million Americans from every walk of life—including seniors, teachers, firefighters, healthcare workers, families with children and many others. NMHC provides a forum for leadership and advocacy that promotes thriving rental housing communities for all.
