GovInfo identifies Public Law 119-101, approved July 11, 2026, as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. The law states its purpose is to increase housing supply and includes sections on streamlined reviews, manufactured housing, modular housing production, and manufactured-housing loan modernization. The enacted text exempts or categorically excludes specified housing activities from environmental review, requires HUD to reduce or eliminate barriers to modular methods in FHA construction financing, increases manufactured-home loan limits, and changes manufactured-home rules to allow homes with or without a permanent chassis.

Assessments
Public Law 119-101, approved July 11, 2026, enacted federal housing-supply changes that directly match the promise: streamlined reviews, reduced barriers for modular construction financing, manufactured-housing modernization, higher loan limits, and related affordability/supply provisions. Baldwin was serving in the Senate during this term and voted yea on the final Senate motion for H.R. 6644, so the delivered result is creditable in the same federal term.
