H.R.4659

The Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act aims to reduce housing costs by reforming land use policies.

The Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act seeks to address the housing shortage by reforming land use policies. It encourages zoning and land use policy reforms to make housing more affordable. The bill requires certain grantees under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to submit a plan to track and reduce overly burdensome land use policies. These policies include expanding multifamily zoned areas, allowing duplexes and triplexes in single-family zones, and reducing minimum lot sizes.
