Neighborhood Homes is a bipartisan solution to expand homeownership supply and revitalize neighborhoods and small towns throughout the country
The U.S. is facing a severe shortage of over 7 million single-family homes, driving up housing costs and locking out first-time homebuyers. The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act would create a federal tax credit to build and rehabilitate affordable homes for urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities, giving families opportunities to build wealth where they live and work.

Senator Mark Warner
D-VA
“Everyone deserves a safe and affordable home, but across the Commonwealth, and across the country, too many neighborhoods are dealing with lack of investment, poor housing stock, and low home ownership rates. That’s why we need an all-hands-on-deck approach to investing in our communities. I’m excited to continue this important work with The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act — legislation that will encourage developers to build new and restored housing by providing a tax credit that will help them to invest in communities that need it the most.”

Senator Todd Young
R-IN
“Across Indiana, we have seen once-vibrant neighborhoods struggle under poor economic conditions and lack of investment. The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act would help restore these communities by directing private capital into neighborhoods in low-income census tracts, bridging the gap between the cost of renovation and neighborhood property values. This legislation also includes important guardrails to ensure that tax incentives target the families that need it most. I am encouraged by the increasing amount of support this effort is receiving, and I am hopeful that Congress will pass this legislation soon.”

Rep. John Larson
D-CT-1
“I am proud to join my colleague, Rep. Mike Kelly, to introduce a bipartisan solution to bring down costs and increase the supply of affordable housing. The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act will tackle our housing crisis by incentivizing the construction of new homes and the revitalization of vacant homes in need of repair. We will continue to work together to spur the development of good, quality housing in the Northeast and across the country, and make homeownership a reality for more of our nation’s families.”

Rep. Mike Kelly
R-PA-16
“The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act will allow homeowners and developers to not only affordably restore beautiful homes, but also to build and create more affordable housing in communities that need it the most. For the families whose dreams of homeownership feel unattainable, this bill could make those dreams closer to reality. I am proud to join my colleagues in leading the bipartisan Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, which will create stronger homes, stronger families, and stronger neighborhoods.”
