Ways the ROAD to Housing Act Targets Regulatory Burdens
Excessive regulations add over $131,000 to the cost of new single-family homes, delaying construction. A new law includes 50+ provisions to address zoning, environmental reviews, and reduce costs. It establishes grants for pre-approved designs to cut design and permitting expenses, and directs HUD to develop best practices for land use reforms. Streamlined environmental reviews aim to shorten permit timelines, helping to ease the housing shortage.
