House Financial Services Committee Advances Bipartisan Housing Solutions Amid NDAA Developments

House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill emphasized the importance of enhancing Americans' access to affordable housing by reducing regulatory barriers, increasing supply, and promoting accountability. The 2026 National Defense Authorization Act was released without Senate-passed housing provisions, but the Committee plans to advance solutions addressing housing cost and access challenges for families. Several hearings have been held in 2025 focused on various aspects of housing supply, innovation, and rural housing needs, indicating ongoing efforts to shape bipartisan housing legislation.
