Public Housing for the 21st Century Act of 2023

HR 6318, the Public Housing for the 21st Century Act of 2023, requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to identify and share best practices for developing mixed-income public housing. It directs HUD to create training and technical assistance for state and local governments, public housing agencies, and housing finance agencies on using local tools - like tax incentives, public land, and cross-subsidizing market-rate units - to increase affordable housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. The bill focuses on maximizing the use of existing Federal subsidies to target the most vulnerable residents while ensuring developments maintain affordability and avoid displacing neighboring communities. This law does not create new funding but aims to improve how current resources are applied to expand affordable housing supply.
