The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act takes meaningful steps to address that challenge by reducing unnecessary regulations, expanding housing options, and giving local builders and lenders more flexibility to respond to the needs of their communities. I\u2019m glad this legislation to support the American Dream will soon be law.\u201d\n\nThe United States is currently facing a housing shortage of up to 5.5 million units. Rising construction costs, regulatory delays, outdated zoning constraints, and financing challenges have made it harder for communities to keep pace with demand.", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:11:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fedorchak.house.gov/media/press-releases/fedorchak-supports-final-passage-21st-century-road-housing-act"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.644558971747756, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
