The bill would treat the development, operation, and upkeep of affordable housing for primarily extremely low-, very low-, or low-income families as a public purpose under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. It would also require the Secretaries of Housing and Urban Development and the Interior to form a joint task force within 30 days. The task force would identify suitable underused federal land, work to streamline land transfers, promote affordable housing, and assess costs linked to a lack of affordable housing. It would report to Congress each year and end after 10 years.
The bill could make federal land available for affordable housing, but it does not identify specific sites or require that housing be built. The task force would focus on housing for primarily extremely low-, very low-, and low-income families.
The bill does not specify funding or direct spending. It directs the task force to assess costs to federal and state governments linked to a lack of affordable housing.
