HR 8607 United States House · 119th Congress

Equitable Transit Oriented Development Support Act

This bill establishes a new funding mechanism to support affordable housing and small businesses near public transit stations by creating special accounts within Community Development Financial Institutions. It allows these institutions to receive secured federal loans, which must then be used to fund affordable projects in low-income areas within a half-mile of transit facilities. The legislation sets specific rules for these accounts, including loan limits of up to 80 percent of project costs and a requirement that repayments be reinvested to create a revolving fund for future projects. Additionally, the bill adjusts existing federal credit programs to accommodate these new accounts and requires coordination with the Treasury Department to manage credit assessments.
