The House sent the Senate’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act back with major amendments. That came after weeks of tension and despite resistance from the White House, the Senate, and some House Republicans. Punchbowl says the broader effort does not appear dead, and Senate negotiators are still weighing next steps.
That is the part that matters. I still read this as a live housing bill with real bicameral work ahead. The open question is whether the bank language stays attached and whether Senate leaders want to spend the floor time to finish it. If the process keeps moving, it is because members still see a path to more homes people can afford.
