ROAD to Housing Act has 35 key provisions for cities, NLC says. Here’s how to track them.

Dive Brief: The National League of Cities this month launched a tracker for cities to review key provisions within the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

The tracker monitors 35 initiatives in the federal law that will directly impact local governments, from changes to federal grant programs to reduced regulatory requirements to housing preservation programs, NLC said.

The National Association of Counties, the Bipartisan Policy Center and the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders have also launched 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act implementation trackers.

The legislation preserves local zoning authority and avoids imposing unfunded mandates on local governments, NLC said.

It could take years for local governments to fully implement the landmark bipartisan housing legislation, according to analysis by the National Association of Affordable Housing Lenders and the Center for Affordable Housing Lending.
