A bipartisan Senate bill to grow American housing stock once seemed unstoppable. Then, the House stopped it.
The House voted 396-13 this afternoon to send the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act back to the Senate with substantial revisions. The result was a massive win for House Financial Services Committee Chair French Hill (R-Ark.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), as well as Speaker Mike Johnson.
But this fight isn’t over. The Senate’s reception is already shaping up to be frosty. Just hours before the House vote, Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) issued a joint warning: “There’s still work to be done.”
