They help communities build more homes and remove financing barriers that stand between families and a home they can afford. These are practical reforms that will give Michigan families more choices and a better chance to achieve the American Dream.\u201d\n\nThe new law includes provisions from Chairwoman McClain's Modular Housing Production Act to modernize federal financing policies for modular and factory-built homes. The changes help remove outdated barriers that can delay construction and increase costs for homebuyers.\n\nIt also includes provisions from Chairwoman McClain's Build Now Act to establish a pilot program that rewards participating communities for expanding housing development. The program gives local leaders additional tools to increase housing supply and create more opportunities for families to purchase a home.\n\nThe broader law removes federal barriers to housing construction, updates housing programs, and limits competition from certain large institutional investors in the single-family housing market.", 1, "2026-07-16T07:21:44Z", "2026-07-16T07:23:13Z"]], "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://mcclain.house.gov/2026/7/mcclain-celebrates-housing-bill-becoming-law-to-help-more-families-own-a-home"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.594020053744316, "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"}
