H.R.7586

American Families First Act

Introduced·2/13/26

The American Families First Act restricts the sale of single-family homes financed by the Federal Government to prevent large institutional investors.

The American Families First Act mandates federal agencies to issue guidance within 180 days to agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, restricting the sale of single-family homes financed by the Federal Government to large institutional investors. The guidance aims to define "large institutional investor," prevent federal programs from facilitating such acquisitions, and restrict the transfer of federal assets to these investors. Exceptions are allowed for build-to-rent properties that are planned, permitted, financed, and constructed as rental communities.
