Housing

NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill made significant cuts to programs that help keep costs down including significant cuts to critical housing programs. NETWORK strongly supports the following housing bills: HR 6644 Housing in the 21st Century Act which would increase housing supply by modernizing federal programs, reducing regulatory burdens, and giving local governments more flexibility to streamline building processes, making housing more affordable through supply-side solutions like updating zoning, encouraging pre-approved designs, and supporting new construction methods. S. 2720/HR 6957 Yes, in God's Backyard Act which would help faith-based organizations and institutions of higher education unlock the promise of their existing land holdings by transforming underused property into much-needed affordable housing. S. 2651, The Road to Housing Act which would tackle the housing crisis by increasing housing supply, modernizing programs, and reducing regulatory barriers, incorporating provisions from numerous other housing bills. NETWORK strongly supports the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a legislative package that includes the vast majority of the Scott-Warren ROAD to Housing Act, which received unanimous support from the Senate last fall, and the vast majority of the housing provisions from the 21st Century Housing Act, which passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act also includes a bill that would ban large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes. NETWORK supported the final FY26 Appropriations package for T-HUD: Continuum of Care funding, funding for vouchers, public housing maintenance funding, and emergency homeless funding.
