This bipartisan bill takes practical steps to build more housing, strengthen protections for renters and homeowners, and crack down on large corporate investors buying up homes. It’s the kind of commonsense work Congress should be focused on to help lower costs and create more stability for families.
Work to expand affordable housing supply and lower housing costs for Kansas families.

Today, Representative Sharice Davids voted to pass the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, legislation aimed at expanding affordable housing supply, lowering housing costs, strengthening renter protections, and supporting community financial institutions that help Kansans access homeownership and housing development opportunities.
Assessments
Davids took a concrete same-term federal action by voting for a bipartisan housing package intended to expand affordable housing supply and lower housing costs. The evidence shows House passage/advancement, not final enactment or demonstrated implementation lowering costs for Kansas families. Because the promise was to work toward the outcome, this merits partial credit with an effort badge, but not full delivery absent final passage or measurable delivered housing-cost relief.
