A floor vote on the Housing for the 21st Century Act could happen as early as next week. Smart growth provisions must stay in the bill. Tell Congress to support infill, missing middle housing, and smart growth reforms: smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

Email your representatives and tell them to support these important reforms: smartgrowthamerica.salsalabs.org/2026_build_hub…

We’re encouraged by the introduction of the Build HUBS Act, which would reform RRIF and TIFIA to cut red tape and make it easier to finance transit-oriented development. Learn more: smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

Last night, the Senate passed the landmark ROAD to Housing Act. It includes SGA priorities: resources for better zoning & land use, provisions encouraging pro-housing policies along transit, and streamlined reviews for infill. Now it’s on to the House. smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

At SGA, we believe that everyone should have access to a home that supports them at every stage of life. That means more types of housing, in the right places, at prices people can afford. Here’s how we’re working to bring that vision to life⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-cent…

RRIF & TIFIA should be fueling equitable growth near transit, but red tape has slowed both programs down for years. Our @LOCUSDevelopers coalition says it’s time to unlock transit-oriented developments full potential. Learn more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

In July, Congress expanded the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. LIHTC can unlock the development of hundreds of thousands of new affordable rental homes nationwide, especially if supported with other funding streams. See more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

Former HUD Secretaries Ben Carson and Henry Cisneros highlighted the need for the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act! We urge Congress to address the needs of aspiring and existing homeowners when it returns from August recess. @LOCUSDevelopers washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

The ROAD to Housing Act of 2025 was recently introduced in the Senate, and includes smart growth priorities for zoning, transit-oriented development, & more. The committee is considering the bill today! Find out more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

🏛️ The Senate’s new tax package could shape the future of community development. It proposes making LIHTC + NMTC permanent—a big win. But it misses the mark on urgent needs like affordable housing + inclusive growth. See the breakdown + what’s next ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/knowledge-hub/…

The Opportunity Zone tax incentive could support affordable housing—but Congress must fix it first. 📢 Contact your representatives and urge them to reform Opportunity Zones for better transparency and impact!⤵️ @LOCUSDevelopers smartgrowthamerica.org/opportunity-zo…

A coalition of 14 organizations, led by SGA and @LOCUSDevelopers, wrote to Congress urging them to refine the Opportunity Zone incentive to better deliver high-impact projects such as affordable housing in well-connected locations. Read more ⤵️ smartgrowthamerica.org/stakeholders-c…

Innovative policy and reforms are essential if we want to address the housing supply crisis. We're excited to see what this caucus might accomplish and are ready to support any policy strategy that delivers much-needed housing in well-connected locations.

As a proud member of the Neighborhood Homes Coalition, we applauds the Senate reintroduction of the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act — a bill with strong bipartisan support designed to bring more affordable, owner-occupied homes to market 👏 Learn more⤵️ neighborhoodhomesinvestmentact.org

If passed, the legislation would create a tax incentive to build and preserve more than 500,000 affordable homes over ten years in under-resourced communities. Thank you to @MikeKellyPA and @RepJohnLarson for leading this important effort.
