Housing for All Act of 2025

This bill tackles homelessness and the housing shortage with more rental help, more homes, and stronger local support. It expands housing vouchers, invests in building and preserving affordable homes, and lets communities turn hotels and other unused spaces into housing. It also funds free legal help to stop evictions, supports safe parking lots and mobile crisis teams, improves eviction data, and adds a strong focus on racial equity in housing.

Key points:

• Who is affected: low-income renters; people experiencing homelessness (including those living in vehicles) and people with disabilities; plus local governments, nonprofits, legal aid groups, and libraries that help them.
• What changes: adds 500,000 housing vouchers in 2025 and 1,000,000 more from 2026–2028, with a guarantee that families who qualify will get a voucher five years after the bill becomes law; invests heavily in housing programs and services ($14.5B for project‑based rental assistance, $40B for the HOME program, $5B for emergency homeless help, $15B for Continuum of Care); helps convert hotels, motels, and other spaces into homes with services ($500M); funds eviction defense for low‑income tenants ($800M); starts safe parking grants for people living in cars (up to $5M per community for safety, bathrooms, vehicle repairs, and gas to get to work or appointments); and backs mobile crisis teams and library‑led help ($50M/year and $10M/year for 10 years, respectively).
• When: voucher entitlement begins five years after enactment; safe parking grants run for five years; hotel‑conversion and eviction‑protection funds are available through 2033; and reports on transit‑oriented housing and on eviction data are due within 180 days.
