Freedom to Build Act establishes a designation for localities that adopt reforms to ease housing supply constraints.
The Freedom to Build Act requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish a "Freedom to Build" designation for localities that adopt reforms to ease housing supply constraints. These reforms include removing regulatory barriers to modern construction technologies, streamlining the approval process, and protecting property rights. Localities can qualify by adopting a minimum number of reforms or by demonstrating sustained housing supply growth. The designation is renewable every five years.
