## Resource

A new bipartisan housing bill, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, just became law—seen as a major, though modest, step toward tackling the nation’s housing crisis. Designed to ease regulations and incentivize construction, it ties federal funding to local housing output and supports accessory dwelling units. While it won’t instantly slash rents or prices—especially in hotspots like the Bay Area—it marks rare congressional unity on a critical issue. Experts say real impact will hinge on local governments and state regulators, with lasting effects likely taking years to materialize.
