A Bipartisan Solution to Expand Homeownership and Revitalize Communities

 

The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (NHIA) — led by Senators Todd Young (R-IN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) — has officially been introduced in the U.S. Senate. This powerful, bipartisan legislation will unlock private investment in homeownership to close the value gap in communities at risk of decline, helping them recover before disinvestment becomes irreversible.

We’re calling on Senators John Fetterman (D-PA) and Dave McCormick (R-PA) to co-sponsor this critical bill and support working families across Pennsylvania. Your voice can help move this legislation forward.


Why It Matters

7M+ Home Shortage

The U.S. is facing a dramatic shortfall in affordable single-family homes.

Barriers in Disinvested Communities

Construction costs often exceed the value of the homes in distressed areas, leaving them vacant or dilapidated.

Smart Investments in Stability

NHIA bridges this “value gap” by offering tax credits that help fund the construction and rehab of homes in neighborhoods that need it most.

What NHIA Will Do

Provide federal tax credits covering up to:

  • 40% of costs for new homes

  • 50% of costs for owner-occupied rehab

Require homes to be affordable, with sale prices capped at 4× the area median family income.

Spur:

  • 500,000 new or rehabbed homes

  • $151B in total development

  • 1.1M jobs in construction and related industries

  • $102.7B in wages and salaries

  • $45.6B in tax revenue
