The legislation includes two provisions championed by Congresswoman Williams: the Whole Home Repairs Act, which would provide essential home repair assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners and small landlords, and a requirement for a federal survey on heirs properties based on the Congresswoman\u2019s HEIRS Act.\n\nCongresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) said:\n\n\u201cDespite Trump\u2019s refusal to sign the most significant housing package in decades, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law. This legislation makes meaningful investments in families and communities and takes an important step toward addressing our nation\u2019s affordable housing crisis. I\u2019m especially proud that it includes two of my bipartisan bills\u2014the Heirs Property Preservation Act and the Whole-Home Repairs Act\u2014which will help families keep the homes they worked so hard to secure, preserve generational wealth, and continue closing the racial wealth gap.\n\nThis legislation is rightly called the ROAD to Housing Act because it is not the destination\u2014it is the beginning. It puts us on a path toward ensuring that everyone has a fair shot at the promise of America and the security and dignity that come with having a place to call home. No one\u2019s ZIP code or bank account should determine whether they can build wealth, put down roots, and thrive.\u201d", 1, "2026-07-14T07:08:55Z", "2026-07-14T07:10:52Z"]], "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://nikemawilliams.house.gov/posts/congresswoman-nikema-williams-applauds-21st-century-road-to-housing-act-becoming-law-secures-key-provisions-to-preserve-homeownership-and-generational-wealth"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0049380362033844, "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"}
