Build Homes, Not Hate Act of 2026
To require the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to establish a grant program to provide grants to eligible entities to create housing units and provide direct homelessness response, supportive housing, and transitional services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, and for other purposes.
This bill, the Build Homes, Not Hate Act of 2026, aims to create a grant program managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The grants would support eligible entities in developing housing units and providing essential services to individuals and families facing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. These services include direct homelessness response, supportive housing, and transitional services.
The bill would primarily affect those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness by offering them more housing options and support services. Eligible entities, such as local non-profits and government agencies, would receive funding to help these individuals and families.
As of July 30, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on the Judiciary for further review. No additional actions have been recorded since its introduction.
