The Housing Crisis Response Act of 2025 would fund programs to build, repair, and preserve affordable housing, expand rental assistance, and help some first-generation buyers purchase homes. It also proposes grants for rural and Native American communities, housing accessibility improvements, lead hazard removal, flood insurance discounts for eligible households, and energy efficiency and climate resilience upgrades. The bill would support fair housing investigations and local housing plans. It has been introduced in the House and referred to committees; it has not been enacted.
If enacted, the bill would provide funding through agencies and local partners for housing construction and repairs, rental vouchers, homebuyer assistance, and other listed programs. Eligibility and benefits would depend on each program’s rules and available funding.
The bill would make numerous fiscal year 2026 appropriations, including $10 billion for public housing capital funds, $15 billion for rental assistance for extremely low-income households, $6.825 billion for first-generation downpayment assistance distributed to states, and $600 million for discounts on flood insurance costs for eligible policyholders. It also includes funding for program administration and oversight. No total cost estimate is provided in the supplied text.
