Housing Supply and Innovation Frameworks Act

The Housing Supply and Innovation Frameworks Act directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create guidelines within three years to help states and local governments reform zoning rules that limit housing supply. These guidelines would promote specific changes like eliminating parking minimums, allowing more housing types (such as duplexes and accessory dwelling units), and streamlining approval processes for projects meeting affordability targets. States and localities adopting these guidelines would receive federal support, including $5 million annually for fiscal years 2025-2029, and HUD must report to Congress on which jurisdictions implement these reforms. The bill focuses on state/local zoning changes to address the national housing shortage, not on direct housing construction or tenant protections.
