The Senate is poised to vote on a bill aimed at constructing more housing this week, a rare spot of bipartisan agreement.
Lawmakers are eager to see the bill passed given how much support they’ve acquired for the long-awaited legislation, which passed in the Senate last year as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. It was ultimately stripped out of the final version of the bill and now requires a new vote as a stand-alone bill.
The ROAD cleared the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs unanimously last year and is in line with Republican efforts to focus on an affordability agenda.
