H.R.1087 - DEPOSIT Act The DEPOSIT Act would expand federal support for essential moving costs, like security deposits, for Section 8 voucher holders and other low-income renters. Introduced by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA)

S.680 - Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All (DASH) Act. This bill proposes a generational investment to house all people experiencing homelessness, tackle the housing affordability crisis, and expand homeownership opportunities for young people by creating a new down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Specifically, the bill would: 1. House everyone experiencing homelessness within five years, and prioritize children and families for placement, by issuing them a Housing Choice Voucher; 2. Expand health, child care, financial and nutrition services for families and individuals to stay on a path to unassisted housing stability; 3. Greatly increase the production of deeply affordable housing for families exiting homelessness and for low-income households by investing in effective, efficient existing programs and reforming the tax code to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to weather the economic fallout from the pandemic, as well as establish a Renter's Tax Credit and Middle- Income Housing Tax Credit (MIHTC); 4. Invest in homeownership in underserved communities and for low-income Americans with new tax credits and downpayment assistance, including a down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers; and 5. Incentivize environmentally-friendly development strategies and land use policies. Introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D - OR)

H.R.827 - Home Internet Accessibility Act. This bill would gather information on all federally assisted housing that lacks the capacity to support broadband service and will task HUD with producing an action plan, including retrofitting, to close Internet service gaps across our country. Introduced by Rep.Nikema Williams (D-GA)

S.32 - Choice in Affordable Housing Act. This bill establishes programs and grants to incentivize landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program. The bill authorizes HUD to provide one-time incentive payments to landlords, security deposit payments, bonuses to public housing agencies that employ landlord liaisons, and amounts for other recruitment purposes. Additionally, the bill allows dwelling units to meet HCV program inspection requirements by satisfactory inspection through participation in other housing programs. Landlords not yet participating in a low-income housing assistance program may request inspection by a public housing agency to determine whether the dwelling meets requirements prior to selection by a tenant. Finally, HUD must expand the use of an alternative method of calculating fair market rent for purposes of the HCV program. Introduced by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE)

P.L. 117-328: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. This bill provides appropriations to federal agencies for the remainder of FY2023, provides supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and to support Ukraine, extends several expiring authorities, and modifies or establishes various programs that address a wide range of policy areas. The bill includes the 12 regular appropriations bills that fund federal agencies for FY2023. Signed by the President on December 29, 2022.

PL. 117-169 Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This act provides funding to HUD for loans and grants. The loans and grants must fund projects that address affordable housing and climate change issues. It also provides funding, which shall remain available through FY2028, for energy and water benchmarking of eligible property along with associated data analysis and evaluation at the property. Eligible property includes low-income housing or housing for the elderly or disabled. The act provides funding to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a greenhouse gas reduction fund and to support several programs that provide financial incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollution emissions. The act extends through 2034 the tax credit for residential clean energy, modifies the phaseout for such credit, and extends the credit to include qualified battery storage technology expenditures. The act modifies the tax deduction for energy-efficient commercial buildings to revise the maximum amount of such deduction and energy efficiency requirements for such buildings. The act extends the new energy-efficient home tax credit through 2032. It increases the credit to allow a $2,500 credit for new homes that meet certain Energy Star efficiency standards and a $5,000 credit for new homes that are certified as zero-energy ready homes and further allows a credit for energy-efficient multifamily dwellings.
