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. Specifically, jurisdictions receiving CDBG funds would be required to submit to HUD a land use plan, which would cover a number of policies, including whether they are allowing manufactured homes in areas zoned primarily for single-family residential homes. Ahead of the markup, MHI and a coalition of housing industry organizations sent a letter of support for the legislation.
