Washington, D.C. – The Economic Innovation Group (EIG) released the following statement in response to the House passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act:
“The House’s passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is welcome progress on one of the most pressing economic challenges facing American families,” said John Lettieri, President and CEO of the Economic Innovation Group. “America cannot lower housing costs without building substantially more homes of all types. This legislation takes meaningful steps toward that goal, and Congress should move quickly to get it across the finish line.”
America’s housing shortage has raised the cost of living, limited mobility, and made it harder for workers and families to access opportunity. Meeting the scale of the challenge requires federal policy that is unambiguously pro-production across all dimensions: reducing barriers, improving financing tools, and supporting communities that want to grow.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act advances that goal.
