S 3350 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Keeping Housing Affordable in Forgotten Communities Act

This bill creates a pilot program to prevent displacement and preserve affordable housing when infrastructure projects (like highway removals) affect communities. It requires planning for long-term affordable housing - using community land trusts, shared equity programs, or rental housing with 30-year affordability - before modifying infrastructure. The program mandates that projects include strategies to maintain affordability for low- and moderate-income residents and requires a 2027 report tracking costs, demographics, and partnerships with affordable housing organizations. It directly affects communities near infrastructure projects and low/moderate-income residents facing potential displacement.
