We are excited to join our partners and peers across the country in celebrating the passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act! This bipartisan package is the most comprehensive housing reform legislation in generations and will tackle a host of challenges related to the production and preservation of our nation's housing stock.

We want to thank Senator Thom Tillis, Senator Ted Budd, and Rep. David Rouzer for voting to support the bill and North Carolina's housing needs. A link to a deep dive on the contents of the bill can be found the comments!
