Bill overview
The "Yes in God’s Backyard Act" aims to increase the supply of affordable rental housing by providing technical assistance and grants to faith-based organizations, higher education institutions, and local governments. It does this by amending existing housing legislation to encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing on properties owned by these entities. The bill also establishes a challenge grant program to incentivize states and local governments to remove barriers to affordable housing production and preservation, particularly in well-resourced areas.
