The Coalition for Home Repair strongly supports the inclusion of the Whole-Home Repairs Act in the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and urges swift passage of the full package.
Across the country, millions of households, especially older adults, veterans, and low-income families, are living in homes that are unsafe, unhealthy, or in critical need of repair. The Whole-Home Repairs Act represents a vital investment in preserving existing housing, stabilizing communities, and ensuring that people can remain safely in the homes they love.
Home repair is one of the most cost-effective and immediate solutions to our nation’s housing challenges. By addressing critical repairs, improving accessibility, and increasing energy efficiency, this legislation helps prevent displacement, reduces long-term public costs, and strengthens local economies.
We are encouraged to see this important provision included in the Senate-passed bill. However, we are deeply concerned that it may be at risk during the conference process. We urge House leadership to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act without conference and deliver this critical investment to communities without delay.
The Coalition for Home Repair stands alongside our partners, members, and supporters in calling on Congress to act swiftly.
Together, we can ensure safe, healthy housing for all.
