The House Financial Services Committee revised parts of the bill that some members and outside groups said didn\u2019t match House priorities, while <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >keeping key large-scale elements intact<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A central dispute involves how the bill treats \u201csingle-family home\u201d purchases by institutional investors. The House preserved the investor ban but narrowed the definition of single-family homes and removed a controversial build-to-rent requirement that critics argued would reduce the housing supply. Housing industry groups-including the NAHB and the national Multifamily Housing Council-supported the House change and said it would protect the advancement of rental housing.<\/p>\n<p>Other differences include House additions focused on community banking provisions and a partial adjustment to a Senate measure related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fed-inches-closer-to-developing-central-bank-digital-currency\/\" title=\"Fed Inches Closer to Developing ... Digital Currency\">central bank digital currencies<\/a> (CBDCs). The Senate included a temporary CBDC ban aimed at conservatives,and while the House retains a sunseted ban through 2030,some House members wanted stronger protections.<\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump urged the House to pass the Senate version without changes, posting that the law should ensure homes are for people, not corporations. On the Senate side, Banking Committee leaders continue to push for the House to take up the bipartisan bill unamended, warning that House changes could undermine the Senate\u2019s broad bipartisan support.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article

PRESSURE TO PASS BIPARTISAN HOUSING BILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Portions of the legislation were stripped and others added, which Financial Services Committee members, including Chairman French Hill (R-AR) and ranking member Maxine Waters (D-CA), contend more fairly represent the housing priorities of their chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last couple of months, we\u2019ve heard clear concerns from hundreds of members and stakeholders, and this bipartisan amendment reflects that feedback,\u201d Hill said on Thursday. \u201cIt cuts unnecessary barriers to new home construction, modernizes HUD programs, and allows banks to more freely deploy funding into their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The amended legislation represents a possible flash point with the Senate, which has been urging the House to take up its version of the bill without changes. Notably, President Donald Trump has also urged the same.<\/p>\n<p>Trump on Monday night posted a message on social media calling on the House to vote for the Senate housing legislation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am asking Congress to pass that Bill, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which would ensure that homes are for people, not Corporations,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThank you for your attention to this matter!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the House is forging ahead with the changes anyway.<\/p>\n<p>One key change in the legislation involves the ban on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mixed-gop-reception-for-ban-on-large-investors-buying-single-family-homes\/\" title=\"Mixed GOP reception for ban on large investors buying ...\">institutional investors purchasing single-family homes<\/a>. Crucially, the ban would remain in place, but the new language narrows the definition of a single-family home and nixed a controversial provision on build-to-rent homes.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate bill initially contained language that would require investors in build-to-rent homes to sell those houses within seven years. Housing experts argued it would decrease the housing stock, and industry groups have come out hard against the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>The provision was heavily criticized by influential groups like the National Association of Home Builders and the National Multifamily Housing Council.<\/p>\n<p>The House\u2019s revised bill strips that provision.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> caught up with Sharon Wilson Geno, president of the National Multifamily Housing Council, on Thursday after the updated language was released. She said her group was happy the provision was nixed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, obviously, we are pleased that the House understood better the BTR issue specifically,\u201d Wilson Geno said.<\/p>\n<p>A group of organizations representing the nation\u2019s rental housing providers, including the NAHB and NMHC, also sent a letter to congressional leadership on Thursday signaling support for the House\u2019s revised bill. They said the revision safeguards the \u201cdevelopment of hundreds of thousands of rental homes.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessional housing providers and the sources of capital that support them are an important resource for Americans who need more housing options,\u201d the letter said. \u201cThis legislation will help preserve flexible housing options for renters, ease affordability challenges and provide more opportunity for households on the path toward homeownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a Thursday call with reporters, a GOP aide with the House Financial Services Committee said the Senate version of the housing bill had a \u201cmath problem\u201d in the House. The aide said the new version was an effort to keep the Senate\u2019s housing bill intact while also reflecting the priorities of the House, as well as member and stakeholder feedback.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate\u2019s housing bill also includes language, aimed at appeasing conservatives, that applies a temporary ban on central bank digital currencies.<\/p>\n<p>A CBDC is a form of digital currency issued by a central bank. In the United States, that would be the Federal Reserve. Consumers would be able to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-tanks-procedural-vote-and-throws-wrench-into-crypto-week\/\" title=\"... GOP tanks procedural ... and throws wrench into crypto week\">digital money issued directly<\/a> by the Fed in addition to cash. Proponents of a CBDC argue that a centralized dollar would help prevent bank bailouts and increase efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>But opponents, many of whom are Republicans, contend that it could give the Fed too much power or could raise Fourth Amendment concerns, depending on how much control the government would have over individual accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Some in the House were upset the ban wasn\u2019t made permanent, and, notably, even the House\u2019s revised version retains the sunset provision through 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the House added a dozen community banking provisions that were not included in the Senate\u2019s version but were a priority for Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who is in China, has not responded to the House\u2019s move to amend the Senate bill. But on the Senate side, Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-SC) is still holding to the position that the House should pass the Senate\u2019s version of the bipartisan legislation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Chairman Scott has said many times, it is time for the House to support President Trump and pass the 21st Century Road to Housing Act unamended,\u201d a spokesman for the Banking Committee said in a statement provided to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4566843\/warsh-confirmed-fed-chairman-face-renewed-inflation-threat\/\"><strong>KEVIN WARSH CONFIRMED AS NEXT FED CHAIRMAN AND WILL FACE RENEWED INFLATION THREAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One senior Senate GOP aide pointed out to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> on Thursday just how wide a margin the housing bill passed by in the upper chamber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny changes made by the House, which go directly against what President Trump himself has said he wants passed, would threaten to tear apart the bipartisan support in the Senate,\u201d the aide warned. \u201cIt\u2019s past time the House brings the Senate bill to the floor without changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House amends a key bipartisan housing bill, setting up a Senate clash.
