Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) advanced historic, bipartisan legislation to tackle the nation’s housing affordability and supply crises. The Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act is designed to boost the nation’s housing supply, improve access to affordable housing, and increase the efficiency of the nation’s federal housing programs. The bill is the most transformative housing legislation to advance in the U.S. Senate in nearly 20 years and comes at a moment when Georgians are facing more financial obstacles to afford rent or buy a home. Senator Warnock championed several provisions in this housing package, including his Appraisal Modernization Act, which would help empower Georgians with more data and tools to fight bias that would lower their homes’ values. The housing legislation was voted out of the Senate Banking Committee unanimously by a vote of 24-0. It will now be considered by the full Senate.
