Harder’s Bills to Build More Homes Headed to the President’s Desk
Note: This Opportunity Zone (OZ) bill applies to communities that have Opportunity Zones, which would include places like the City of Antioch and the City of Pittsburg.
WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) announced that two of his bills to build more homes in Stockton are headed to the President’s desk to be signed into law. Included in historic housing reforms that Harder helped negotiate, the bills received final passage from the U.S. Senate yesterday and the U.S. House today.
Harder’s Increasing Housing in Opportunity Zones Act, led with Rep. Mike Kelly (PA-16), requires more federal housing grants to be awarded in low-income communities. The Property Improvement and Manufactured Housing Loan Modernization Act, led with Rep. Jim Himes (CT-04), expands federal financing for affordable housing like manufactured homes and smaller housing units. Harder also chairs the bipartisan Build America Caucus, whose Members secured a total of 27 bills and policies in the final package.
