President Donald Trump secured a significant legislative victory Tuesday after the House approved a wide-ranging housing package designed to boost home construction and address affordability concerns across the country.

According to Fox News, the House voted 358-32 to pass the Senate-approved 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, sending the measure to Trump for his signature. Support for the bill crossed party lines, with every Democrat present voting in favor and opposition coming exclusively from Republicans.

The legislation includes more than 45 provisions intended to increase the nation’s housing supply and ease pressure on buyers and renters facing elevated costs.

Among its most notable components is a Trump-backed proposal targeting large institutional investors. The measure would prevent companies that own more than 350 single-family homes from purchasing additional houses, while still allowing exceptions for firms building rental housing. Existing holdings would not be affected.

Lawmakers also included provisions aimed at speeding up housing development. The bill streamlines certain federal environmental review requirements, reduces regulatory barriers for factory-built homes, and encourages local governments to revise zoning policies that limit new construction.

Additional sections create grant opportunities for communities that have demonstrated success in building new housing and establish a pilot program focused on redeveloping vacant properties.

“The package focuses on a simple idea of building more homes, which means lower costs and more expanded opportunities for all Americans,” Rep. Mike Haridopolos said Tuesday.

The vote comes as housing affordability remains a major concern for many Americans. Recent data cited during the debate showed median home prices have climbed above $400,000 nationwide, while asking rents have risen significantly since 2019.

House Speaker Mike Johnson used a fast-track procedure requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. Despite the strong bipartisan vote, some conservatives opposed the measure.

Several Republican lawmakers objected because unrelated election legislation was not attached to the package. Others argued portions of the bill included provisions championed by progressive Democrats.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna publicly urged colleagues to hold out for action on election integrity legislation, while Rep. Chip Roy criticized the package as containing excessive government involvement.

Negotiators from both chambers spent months resolving disputes over investor restrictions and other provisions before reaching a final agreement.

Supporters argue the legislation offers a concrete response to housing shortages that have contributed to rising costs nationwide. With congressional approval now complete, Trump is expected to sign the bill into law as early as Wednesday.
