Overview
This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study and propose a definition for ‘workforce housing.’ The GAO will investigate the challenges middle-class families face in finding affordable housing, identify gaps in current federal housing programs that exclude these families, and recommend ways to improve the inclusion of middle-income households in those programs. The goal is to help federal agencies better target housing assistance and incentivize workforce housing development.
