Bill overview
The Freedom to Build Act establishes a designation for localities that voluntarily commit to streamlining housing regulations. Localities seeking this designation must adopt specific reforms across three categories – removing construction barriers, speeding up approval processes, and protecting property rights – and either meet minimum reform thresholds or demonstrate sustained housing supply growth. The Act also prioritizes these designated communities for competitive federal grants, aiming to boost housing production and affordability.
