Last week, the House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) unanimously passed H.R. 3507, the Yes in My Backyard Act (YIMBY). The legislation is intended to eliminate discriminatory land use policies and remove barriers to housing production by bolstering transparency of efforts of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recipients in changing discriminatory land use policies.
