Senate readies bipartisan housing bill vote amid cross-chamber negotiations

The Senate plans a floor vote this week on an updated version of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, incorporating most House language (including limits on large institutional buyers of single-family homes) and reviving several Senate provisions not in the House package. House leadership’s sign-off is unclear, but the White House backs the compromise. The package preserves core leadership wins while reinstating provisions like the BUILD NOW Act, RAD, MTW, and the VALID Act, and it drops two FDIC-related deregulation bills on budget grounds. Separate headlines note Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization and a rapid path to confirming Jay Clayton as DNI.
