Support legislation to cut red tape, lower costs, and boost the supply of multifamily housing, including both market-rate and affordable housing.

This legislation, which includes four bills that I either lead or co-lead with my colleagues, will take important steps to cut red tape, lower costs, and boost supply of multifamily housing, construction, both market rate and affordable.

Liccardo says the housing package he supports will cut red tape, lower costs, and increase multifamily housing supply.

secondary · model gpt-5.4-mini · confidence 97%

The House Committee on Financial Services advanced the bipartisan Housing for the 21st Century Act, a legislative package designed to streamline development and make housing more affordable. Congressman Sam Liccardo (CA-16) leads two bills included in the package, both focused on cutting red tape that is constraining growth in America’s housing supply ... Together, the bills—H.R. 4810, the BUILD Housing Act, and H.R. 4660, the Unlocking Housing Supply Through Streamlined and Modernized Reviews Act—reflect growing bipartisan consensus that solving America’s housing shortage requires more nimble federal processes for affordable construction, and stronger partnerships with state and local governments.

This is the strongest concrete progress found in the lookback window: Liccardo’s housing bills advanced through committee as part of a bipartisan package. That is partial delivery toward the promise, but not final enactment. Because the package was described as advancing to the House floor in January, the effort remained active rather than complete.
