Congresswoman Bynum Has Three Housing Bills Signed into Law

July 13, 2026 Press Release This weekend, three of Congresswoman Janelle Bynum’s (OR-05) bills were signed into law by the president after passing with bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate – the Accelerating Home Building Act , the Appraisal Industry Improvement Act , and the Incentivizing Local Solutions to Homelessness Act . Her legislation is part of the bipartisan and bicameral H.R. 6644, 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act , which Rep. Bynum voted for each time it came before the House. These bills are part of her efforts to address the nation’s housing shortage by cutting red tape, building more homes, and lowering costs for first-time homebuyers. “The passage of these bills marks one of the most significant housing reform efforts to ever make its way to a president’s desk,” said Rep. Bynum. “For far too long, owning a home has been out of reach for so many Americans. I’m proud to be part of this great achievement where, finally, we are providing Americans with the housing support and assistance they deserve.” The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a landmark housing package that will surge resources and streamline construction, putting us on track to build the millions of homes we desperately need to lower costs. It also takes important steps to prevent institutional investors from driving up costs in the single-family housing market. These efforts are part of Rep. Bynum’s K-30 initiative , a platform focused on improving public education, strengthening the job market, and lowering the cost of housing. The passage of this legislation marks an important step towards creating and sustaining affordable housing for young Americans throughout the country. In Congress, Rep. Bynum is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and sits on the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance, where she works to address the housing shortage and lower costs for Oregon families. ### Issues : Congress
