This bill creates a federal program to fund the construction of permanently affordable homes through low-interest loans to community land trusts and nonprofits.AI-written
Establishes a federal fund to provide low-interest construction loans for community land trusts and nonprofits to build homes that must remain affordable for at least 99 years.
In many cities, housing prices are rising so fast that even middle-class families are priced out of the market. Conventional affordable housing often has an expiration date; after 15 or 30 years, those homes can be sold at market rates, and the community loses that affordable unit forever. This bill focuses on 'permanent' affordability—requiring 99-year agreements—to ensure that public investment in housing helps multiple generations of families rather than just the first buyer.
