## Resource

The Senate just passed a landmark housing bill, the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, 85-5, a bipartisan effort aimed at tackling affordability and boosting homeownership. Senators like Tim Scott and Elizabeth Warren championed it, while Katie Britt called it a crucial win for families, praising its focus on expanding supply and streamlining programs. But Senator Tommy Tuberville opposed it, arguing it favors urban areas over rural ones and urging focus on the SAVE America Act instead. The bill now heads to the House for swift passage before reaching the President’s desk — a major step toward reshaping housing access nationwide, despite lingering debate.
