The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act becomes law on July 11, 2026, creating the largest U.S. federal housing reform in decades. The bipartisan law aims to expand housing supply by limiting large institutional purchases of single-family homes, streamlining permits, encouraging zoning reform, supporting manufactured housing, converting offices into apartments, and protecting rural rental assistance. President Trump refuses to sign it but allows it to become law automatically. Supporters call it a major cost-of-living response, while critics warn labour shortages, insurance costs, and slow implementation may delay results.
