NAR Real Estate News

After 21 Months of Advocacy, NAR Leaders Help Deliver Landmark Housing Law

“It takes years of trust, persistence and bipartisan partnership to move a package of this scope across the finish line,” says NAR Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy Officer Shannon McGahn.

More than 21 months ago, the National Association of REALTORS® set out with an ambitious goal: build bipartisan support for the most significant federal housing package in a generation.

That effort culminated today as the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act officially became law—a sweeping package of nearly 50 individual housing measures designed to increase housing supply, improve affordability, expand access to homeownership, strengthen housing finance and support veterans.
