Habitat for Humanity applauds House passage of Housing for the 21st Century Act

ATLANTA (Feb. 10, 2026) — Habitat for Humanity applauds the House’s passage of the bipartisan Housing for the 21st Century Act. This is the most significant housing bill that the House has passed in more than a decade and we are grateful for the commitment to housing that it demonstrates and support its provisions to increase housing supply and improve affordability by reducing regulatory barriers and modernizing federal housing programs.

We are encouraged by action taken by the House and Senate to address our nation’s housing affordability challenges. Congress must keep this momentum going and pass a final bipartisan housing affordability package as soon as possible that will take meaningful action to help address our nation’s housing crisis and increase supply.

As one of the nation’s largest builders of starter homes, Habitat for Humanity stands ready to support federal housing investments that will bring affordable homeownership within reach of more American families.
