The Identifying Regulatory Barriers to Housing Supply Act aims to address the housing shortage in the United States by encouraging local governments to reform land use policies that are seen as overly restrictive. The main goal is to make housing more affordable and accessible, which aligns with the original purpose of the Community Development Block Grant program. To achieve this, the Act requires certain grantees who receive funding under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to create and submit a plan that tracks and aims to reduce burdensome land use policies.
