Requires local grantees that seek certain HUD block grants to prepare and submit a recurring land use plan showing how they will track and reduce overly burdensome zoning and land-use policies that make housing more expensive. The plan must be filed at least once every five years on a Secretary-prescribed form, explain which policies a jurisdiction has or will adopt, and describe anticipated local benefits; submissions cannot be used as enforcement and do not by themselves restrict grant spending.
States, local governments, housing developers, low- and middle-income households, and HUD will be affected: jurisdictions will need to inventory land-use rules and adopt or plan reforms to qualify for grants, HUD must maintain staff to support implementation, and vulnerable communities are intended beneficiaries through reduced barriers to housing production. The new requirement takes effect one year after enactment.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
