Big changes are coming to the American housing market. On June 22 and 23, 2026, Congress overwhelmingly passed a massive, historic housing package called the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. It moved through the Senate (85–5) and the House (358–32) with rare bipartisan momentum. This legislation represents the most sweeping federal real estate reform we have seen in decades.
The bill heads to President Trump’s desk for an expected signature. It affects homeowners, buyers, and sellers right here in Southeastern Connecticut. From Mystic and Stonington to Groton and Ledyard, they are wondering, “What does this mean for our local neighborhood market?”
The BUILD Road to Housing Act fast-tracks environmental and federal reviews specifically for small and affordable housing developments.
