What this bill does
H.R. 10096, the "Task Force on the Impact of the Affordable Housing Crisis Act of 2026," would create an 18-member bipartisan task force to study how the lack of affordable housing affects other areas of life—such as education, employment, health, nutrition, transportation, and neighborhood stability—and to estimate the costs that this shortage imposes on other federal, state, and local programs. Members would be appointed by House and Senate leadership from both parties, drawn from academics, subject-matter experts, and people with relevant government experience. The task force would hold hearings, gather federal agency data, take public comment for 90 days, and issue a final report with recommendations to Congress within two years of when all members are appointed, after which it would terminate.
The bill mainly affects federal policymaking rather than individuals directly. Congress, HUD, and other federal agencies would be involved in setting up and supporting the task force, while housing researchers, program administrators, and the public would have opportunities to submit comments and data. The findings could eventually inform future housing and social-program legislation, though the bill itself does not create new housing assistance or funding programs beyond authorizing money to run the task force from fiscal years 2027 through 2030.
The bill was introduced on August 13, 2026, by Rep. Michael Lawler (R-NY) with bipartisan cosponsors and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. It has not yet been voted on, and no further congressional action has occurred beyond introduction and committee referral.
