What this bill would do

The Housing Supply Frameworks Act directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to publish guidelines and best practices for State and local zoning frameworks. These guidelines aim to support the production of adequate housing to meet community needs across all income levels. The Assistant Secretary will develop these documents by consulting a diverse task force and opening the draft guidelines to public comment. The guidelines will address various regulatory measures, such as building heights, lot sizes, and accessory dwelling units. Additionally, the Act mandates a report to Congress regarding the adoption of these recommendations by States and localities. Finally, the bill abolishes the Regulatory Barriers Clearinghouse.
