Walberg-Backed Transformational Housing Legislation Becomes Law

Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-05) released the following statement after the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law.

"Americans deserve access to affordable housing, and the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is transformational legislation that will help restore the American Dream of homeownership," said Rep. Walberg. "By reducing burdensome regulatory barriers and allowing banks to freely deploy funding, we can increase housing supply and lower costs for hardworking Michigan families. This bipartisan legislation includes real solutions that will alleviate housing shortages and make life more affordable for all Americans."

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act cuts regulatory barriers that slow housing construction, modernizes Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs, and strengthens local lending capacity to support new housing development. Congressman Walberg voted in favor of the legislation, which passed the House on June 23, 2026.
