The Bipartisan Policy Center Action published the American Housing Act of 2025, a comprehensive plan that aims to increase the supply of affordable homes, preserve existing affordable housing, and enhance access to housing for families. Key strategies include supporting the affordability of manufactured housing by amending outdated regulations such as requiring manufactured housing to be built on a permanent chassis and reaffirming HUD’s authority over manufactured housing and prohibiting the Department of Energy from regulating manufactured homes. The plan hopes to boost economic growth and create more stable communities nationwide.
