More Homes on the Market Act

12/29/2022, 12:33 PM

Summary of Bill HR 9015

Bill 117 HR 9015, also known as the More Homes on the Market Act, aims to address the current housing shortage in the United States by incentivizing the construction of new homes. The bill proposes several measures to achieve this goal.

First, the bill provides tax credits to developers who build new homes in designated high-demand areas. These tax credits are intended to offset the costs of construction and make it more financially feasible for developers to invest in new housing projects.

Second, the bill streamlines the permitting process for new construction projects, making it easier and faster for developers to get approval for their plans. This is intended to reduce the barriers to building new homes and encourage more construction in areas where housing is in high demand. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to encourage the conversion of existing commercial properties into residential units. This is seen as a way to increase the supply of housing without the need for new construction, utilizing existing buildings in a more efficient manner. Overall, the More Homes on the Market Act is aimed at increasing the availability of housing in the US, particularly in areas where demand currently outstrips supply. By providing incentives for developers and streamlining the permitting process, the bill seeks to address the housing shortage and make homeownership more accessible to a greater number of Americans.
