Housing for America’s Middle Class Act of 2026

Introduced·2/11/26

Housing for America’s Middle Class Act of 2026 aims to address housing affordability for middle-income families.

The Housing for America’s Middle Class Act of 2026 identifies issues with housing affordability for middle-income homeowners and renters. It highlights gaps in Federal housing programs that exclude middle-income households. The Act requires the Government Accountability Office to study these issues and recommend a definition for "workforce housing" based on income parameters. This definition aims to assist Federal agencies in including middle-income households under existing Federal programs and analyze how it could relate to incentives for workforce housing development.
