Summary
The bill directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to set up a voluntary “Freedom to Build” designation for cities or counties that adopt reforms aimed at easing construction, speeding approvals, and protecting property rights. Designated areas will be listed publicly for a five‑year period and can be renewed if they keep meeting the standards. The goal is to encourage local policies that lower housing costs and increase supply.
