A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced legislation aimed at tackling the nation’s affordable housing shortage. The bill proposes tax credits for developers building low-income units, as well as incentives for municipalities to ease zoning restrictions.
Supporters say the measure will help alleviate pressure on working families and stimulate economic development. Critics argue the plan needs stronger oversight to prevent misuse of funds. The bill is expected to be debated in committee over the coming weeks.
