A shortage of millions of single-family homes and rising housing costs have pushed homeownership out of reach for many first-time buyers, and as the existing housing stock ages, many lower income homeowners cannot afford to finance critically needed repairs.
On April 16, 2026, the Neighborhood Homes Coalition hosted a public webinar exploring how the bipartisan Neighborhood Homes Investment Act would boost the supply of affordable homes and increase homeownership in communities that need it most.
With momentum building on Capitol Hill, now is the time to learn how this legislation works and how you can help move it forward.
