Rep. Loudermilk: The House Should Go To Conference for Affordable Housing Legislation

Washington, D.C. (March 18, 2026) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement on the need for bicameral housing legislation: “Last month, the House passed The Housing for the 21st Century Act with overwhelming bipartisan support. My colleagues and I are seeking tangible, quality reforms to reduce the regulatory burdens on new construction, modernize HUD capabilities, and allow banks more freedom to lend. “The ability for Americans to own homes should be an attainable goal, and I believe our legislation is the superior product needed to address the ongoing housing crisis in this country. The Senate’s housing legislation is rife with non-conservative policy that would ultimately fail to achieve the goal of making housing affordable for Americans. It is my hope that Speaker Johnson will go to conference to ensure a final product emerges that benefits the American people.”
