The “21st Century ROAD to Housing Act” became law on July 11. This is the first big housing law that both major parties have agreed on since the 1990s. #NLIHC is celebrates this bill's passage and thanks everyone who worked hard to make it happen.

We created a new guide to help renters and advocates understand what the new law means. Even though the law has passed, there are still chances to speak up about how it will be put into action. People can share their ideas during the rulemaking process, which decides how the programs will work.
