The legislation aims to boost housing supply and make housing more affordable by addressing high prices. The bill has been revised with input from both the House and Senate,including provisions supporting local housing development and initiatives to assist communities affected by disasters. A key controversial aspect remains a ban on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >large investors purchasing single-family homes<\/a>, a measure supported by some populist Democrats but opposed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/do-it-now-biden-still-demanding-gas-station-owners-cut-prices\/\" title=\"&quot;Do it Now!&quot; - Biden Still Demanding Gas Station Owners Cut Prices\">free-market advocates<\/a>. The bill also includes other provisions such as incentives for localities to permit more housing construction and support for manufactured housing communities. The White House has indicated support, and passage of the bill coudl provide a triumphant platform for lawmakers in the midterm elections, given widespread dissatisfaction with housing costs. If approved by the Senate, the bill will go back to the House for final approval before reaching President Biden\u2019s desk.  <\/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 class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8765\">Senate<\/a> Majority Leader <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-thune\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"178\">John Thune<\/a> (R-SD) is expected to bring landmark housing legislation back to the Senate floor this week after negotiators reached an agreement, signaling a win for the backers of the bill, who say it will increase <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/housing\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1273\">housing<\/a> supply and address high prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will be voted on this week, according to Senate aides.

That provision, which was inserted into the bill after President Donald Trump demanded it, has strong support from some populist Democrats but faces skepticism from free marketers. The House version of the bill significantly eased the ban by removing a provision that would have required investors in build-to-rent homes to sell those houses within seven years. That edit appears to have survived in the latest Senate version of the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But other sections have been added back to the legislation following this latest round of leadership-level talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One such provision is the measure authored by Sens. John Kennedy (R-LA) and Senate banking committee ranking member Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) that would steer federal grants to localities that permit greater housing construction and away from areas that fail to build.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other additions include the Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cortezmasto.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/passed-cortez-masto-bills-to-tackle-housing-crisis\/\">Enhancement Act<\/a> by Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-NV), which is designed to support manufactured housing communities, the Reforming Disaster Recovery Act, which accelerates assistance to communities hit by disasters, among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, one point of likely negotiation on the Senate side was a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-pushes-for-vote-on-amended-housing-bill-next-week\/\" title=\"... pushes for vote on amended ... next week\">community banking provisions<\/a> that were a priority of House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill (R-AR). Nine of the 11 community bank provisions were left in this latest, presumably final, version of the legislation, according to the aides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is past time for a true bipartisan, bicameral compromise on the housing bill,\u201d a Senate GOP aide told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. \u201cSenate and House leadership have made great progress on a package that incorporates key Senate, House, and White House priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House has previously signaled support for iterations of the bipartisan legislation. The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> asked the White House Monday morning for comment on this latest development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passing the legislation would give lawmakers a talking point in the midterm elections, given voters\u2019 discontent with housing prices. Republicans, in particular, are desperate to address constituents\u2019 unhappiness with the cost of living. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4596017\/fed-kevin-warsh-pressure-rates-higher-labor-market-strength\/\"><strong>FED AND WARSH UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE TO KEEP RATES HIGHER, THANKS TO LABOR MARKET STRENGTH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rising cost of housing has played a major role in the broader inflation that has sent consumer sentiment to record lows. Higher costs have also driven up disapproval of Trump\u2019s handling of the economy 16 months into his term.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Senate passes this latest version, as is expected, it would then return to the House for final sign-off before heading to the president\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thune to bring key housing bill to Senate floor this week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3360,"featured_media":2614217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AP26154667179131-e1780583660717.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[81210,36586,40357,57850,3740],"class_list":["post-2614216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-controversial-provisions","tag-government-policy","tag-housing-bill","tag-legislative-vote","tag-senate"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/AP26154667179131-e1780583660717.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2614216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3360"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2614216"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2614216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2614220,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2614216\/revisions\/2614220"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2614217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2614216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2614216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2614216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
