Introduced on August 29, 2025 by Maxine Waters
This bill lets cities and counties use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money to build new affordable homes, not just fix or buy existing ones. It adds “new construction of affordable housing” to the list of allowed uses and makes clear that serving low- and moderate‑income people includes new construction too. These changes only apply to funds provided after the bill becomes law.
