CREFC Supports House Financial Services Markup on Housing Supply
December 16, 2025
Today and tomorrow, the House Financial Services Committee will conduct a two-day markup of various bills, including bipartisan housing supply legislation.
Why it matters: The Senate previously passed its own bipartisan housing legislation, but Republican House leaders rejected the bill as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
- Last week Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill (R-AR) and Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA) introduced the Housing for the 21st Century Act, which packages together dozens of bipartisan housing bills focused on supply.
What they’re saying: The bipartisan House legislation on housing supply highlights the broad concerns on housing affordability and how boosting supply is essential.
Go deeper: The Housing for the 21st Century Act focuses on boosting housing supply by reducing burdensome regulation, incentivizing local reforms that allow for greater housing production, and modernizes standards for housing production and support.
