Build Housing Affordably Act
To exempt certain covered projects from the requirements of chapter 83 of title 41, United States Code, or any regulation or guidance issued for such chapter.
This bill, known as the Build Housing Affordably Act, aims to allow certain housing projects to bypass specific federal regulations that can make it difficult and costly to build affordable housing. These projects would be exempt from certain rules under chapter 83 of title 41, United States Code. This could help speed up the construction of affordable homes and reduce costs for developers, potentially making housing more affordable for people who need it most.
The bill would mainly affect housing developers and local communities by making it easier and cheaper to build affordable homes. This could result in more housing options for low- and middle-income families, helping to address housing shortages and affordability issues in many areas.
HB9311 was introduced on June 15, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the committee will review the bill, hold hearings, and potentially make changes before deciding whether to send it to the full House for a vote.
