Climate Mayors applaud 21st Century Road to Housing Act passage
Climate Mayors, a network of over 350 mayors demonstrating climate leadership through meaningful actions in their communities, released a statement supporting Congress’ passage of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act. The landmark measure will streamline housing approvals, expand affordable housing funding and equip cities to modernize zoning and build energy?efficient homes for families nationwide.
“From Boise to Miami, the 21st Century Road to Housing Act ensures that mayors have the tools and resources to build safe and efficient housing, reduce delays to building more housing supply and bring down housing costs that are making it harder for families to afford a home,” said Climate Mayors Chair, Boise Mayor Lauren McLean.
The bill will launch the PRICE Manufactured Housing Grant Program to weatherize homes and cut energy costs and create new homeownership pathways. With a five-year affordable housing grant program to modernize zoning and housing strategies, cities can unlock middle housing and transit-oriented development to make communities more affordable, connected and sustainable.
