The bill includes 50 provisions to cut construction costs, limit private-equity purchases, and is co-sponsored by Sen. Tim Scott.

History

Historical Context

The 2008 financial crisis spurred massive federal interventions, notably the $426 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program and sweeping housing reforms that tightened lender oversight. Those actions created a precedent for rapid policy, so the Trump administration’s delay of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act—criticized by Senator Elizabeth Warren and backed by Senator Tim Scott—has become a partisan flashpoint.
