11 National Organizations Send Letter to Congressional Leadership Calling for Swift Passage of Revised Legislation
Today, the undersigned organizations representing the nation’s rental housing providers and tens of millions of residents sent a letter to Congressional leadership signaling their strong support for the revised 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
Crucially, the revised bill preserves Build-to-Rent (BTR) housing, thereby safeguarding the development of hundreds of thousands of rental homes and benefiting the individuals and families who are building their lives in those homes. Professional housing providers and the sources of capital that support them are an important resource for Americans who need more housing options. This legislation will help preserve flexible housing options for renters, ease affordability challenges and provide more opportunity for households on the path toward homeownership.
Housing affordability has never been as critical an issue for American voters, and we stand ready to work with policymakers to ensure the final bill advances the goal of lowering costs while providing greater housing choice in communities across the nation.
We thank both the House and the Senate for their leadership on this issue and now call on Congress to pass this bipartisan bill quickly and deliver it to the President for his signature.
