NAHB Applauds Congressional Passage of Landmark Housing Bill

Bill Owens, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio, issued the following statement after the House passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, sending the bill to President Trump to be signed into law:

"NAHB applauds lawmakers for working together in a bipartisan, bicameral effort to pass historic housing legislation that will deliver real benefits for the American people. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will help increase the nation's housing supply by reducing regulatory barriers and encouraging local governments to reform zoning and land-use policies that have limited home building. By expanding homeownership and rental housing opportunities nationwide, this legislation will help ease the housing affordability crisis."
