The U.S. House of Representatives passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act by a vote of 358-32. The legislation is intended to lower housing costs and support affordable housing across the country.
The bill advanced from the Senate with a vote of 85-5 after months of negotiation. It is described as a rare bipartisan measure in a deeply divided Congress.
Some Republican members opposed the bill due to its exclusion of the SAVE America Act. The absence of the voter ID and citizenship proof provisions prompted resistance from conservative lawmakers.
