Yes in God's Backyard Act

Summary

The Yes in God's Backyard Act would give the Housing Secretary authority to run a technical‑assistance program and a competitive grant program aimed at faith‑based organizations, colleges and local governments. It targets the use of property owned by those entities to create or preserve rental units that cost no more than 30 % of a household’s income. By focusing on low‑income, homeless, veteran, disabled and other special‑need households, the bill seeks to expand affordable housing in high‑opportunity neighborhoods.
