President Donald Trump announced he will not sign the bipartisan 21st Century Road to Housing Act until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act is passed. The House of Representatives had previously given final approval to the housing bill with a 358-32 vote, sending it to Trump's desk. The Senate had advanced the legislation with an 85-5 vote. The bill aims to address the nation's housing shortage and affordability crisis through measures such as incentives for streamlined zoning and limiting institutional investors' ownership of single-family homes. A previous provision requiring build-to-rent investors to sell new builds within seven years was removed following industry pushback, though concerns remain about ambiguous language regarding newly constructed developments.
