Washington, D.C.-June 24, 2026… Congressman Nick Langworthy today announced he voted to pass the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a once-in-a-generation package of landmark legislation designed to restore fairness to America's housing market, increase housing supply and lower costs for Americans. The bill passed the House last night by a margin of 358-32.

The Senate also passed the bill through its chamber with large bipartisan margins on Monday, and it now heads to the President's desk for his signature. The last time Congress passed a housing bill of this scale and significance was in 1990, representing the most significant congressional action on housing in more than three decades.

"For too many Americans, the dream of owning a home has become increasingly out of reach because of a shortage of supply, rising costs, and a housing market that has not kept pace with the needs of families," said Congressman Langworthy. "The 21st Century Road to Housing Act tackles these challenges head-on by bringing more homes onto the market, cutting unnecessary barriers to construction, and ensuring our housing policies work for families, not just special interests. This bill delivers on our promise to the American people, and I'm so pleased we worked together to get it done."

The bipartisan package takes significant steps to address America's housing shortage by:

• Increasing Housing Supply and Affordability: The legislation removes regulatory barriers that make it harder and more expensive to build homes, encourages local governments to streamline permitting processes, and expands financing opportunities to spur new construction and bring more affordable housing options to communities.
• Restoring Fairness to the Housing Market: The bill includes reforms to limit the ability of large institutional investors to buy up significant portions of the single-family housing market, helping preserve opportunities for families looking to purchase a home.
• Accelerating Federal Reviews: The legislation modernizes and streamlines federal environmental review processes for certain housing projects, reducing unnecessary delays that drive up costs and slow the creation of new homes.
