bipartisan legislation that would make progress to bring housing costs down for Michigan families by growing the current housing supply and improving federal programs that help communities develop new housing projects.
Grow the current housing supply and improve federal programs that help communities develop new housing projects to make housing more affordable.
Occurrences
Evidence
Senator Gary Peters helped the Senate pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, saying it would bring down housing costs by growing the current housing supply and improving federal programs that help communities develop new housing projects. The release says the bill then headed to the U.S. House of Representatives.
The House Financial Services Committee chairman said the House amendment to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act had passed the Senate and that the committee reached a bipartisan agreement on an improved version to move forward.
Assessments
Peters materially advanced the promised housing-supply and federal-programs goal by helping pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act through the Senate during his current federal term. However, the evidence shows the bill had not yet cleared the House or become law as of May 14, 2026, so the promised federal outcome was not fully delivered. Because the legislation was still pending rather than definitively failed, the proper status is unresolved with credit for serious effort.
