Lankford Applauds Senate Passage of Bipartisan Bill to Expand Housing Supply and Lower Costs

WASHINGTON, DC — US Senator James Lankford (R-OK), Senate Republican Conference Vice Chair today released the following statement after the Senate passed the bipartisan, bicameral 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act , legislation aimed at increasing housing supply, cutting federal red tape, and lowering housing costs for American families. “The dream of homeownership is slipping further out of reach for too many Oklahomans,” said Lankford . “Home prices are at an all-time high, and Washington’s red tape has made it worse by making it harder and more expensive to build. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a straightforward solution: cut the federal bureaucracy that is slowing down construction, free up more land to build on, and bring costs down without adding a dime to the deficit. Oklahomans do not need Washington to spend more money; they need Washington to get out of the way.” You can read the full bill text HERE , and a section-by-section HERE . ###
