Horsford said. \u201cIf you work hard, you ought to be able to afford a safe place to live, build stability for your family, and have a real shot at the American Dream. That\u2019s why I pushed for a housing package that doesn\u2019t just talk about the problem, but it delivers real solutions.\n\n\u201cThe 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a bipartisan effort focused on tackling the housing affordability crisis by increasing supply, cutting unnecessary red tape that slows down construction, and expanding pathways to affordable homeownership for working families across Nevada.\n\n\u201cI\u2019ve consistently pushed Congress to focus on affordability and economic opportunity for working people, including addressing the role corporate investors and Wall Street speculators are playing in pricing families out of the market. It also includes important guardrails to address the growing role corporate investors and Wall Street firms are playing in driving up housing prices and locking families out of the market. This is about making sure hard work still leads to stability, not just survival.\u201d\n\nThe bipartisan legislation includes reforms to:\n\nExpand and modernize the HOME Investment Partnerships Program to support workforce housing development.\n\nStreamline environmental review processes for federally supported housing projects to reduce delays and costs.\n\nModernize Community Development Block Grant programs and local development codes to encourage new housing construction.\n\nEvaluate establishment of streamlined building standards to reduce construction timelines and costs.\n\nEliminate duplicative HUD inspection requirements that delay housing delivery.\n\nImprove access to housing and home repair assistance in rural communities.\n\nReduce barriers to manufactured housing development by clarifying federal construction and safety standards.\n\nStrengthen access and protections for veterans, renters, and families relying on housing assistance programs.", 1, "2026-06-23T06:27:52Z", "2026-06-23T06:29:20Z"]], "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://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/horsford-helps-deliver-sweeping-bipartisan-housing-package-to-build-more-homes-lower-costs-and-expand-opportunity-for-working-families"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7776599377393723, "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"}
