What this bill does
H.R. 9733, the Interagency Council on Affordable Housing Act of 2026, would create a new independent federal body—the United States Interagency Council on Housing Affordability and Preservation—made up of the heads (or designees) of 21 federal agencies and offices, including HUD, the Justice and Treasury Departments, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, and others. Its stated mission is to develop federal policy to preserve and expand affordable housing, promote fairness in rental markets, and coordinate housing efforts across federal, state, local, and private-sector lines. The Council would produce a National Strategic Plan to Preserve Affordable Housing, issue annual reports to Congress, employ regional coordinators, hold workshops, and publish informational bulletins.
The bill mainly affects federal agencies with housing-related responsibilities, which would face new reporting and coordination requirements, as well as state and local governments, nonprofit housing providers, and researchers who would interact with the Council through designated state contacts and encouraged state-level counterpart councils. Low-income individuals and housing program beneficiaries are the intended ultimate focus of the Council's work, though the bill does not create new housing benefits directly.
The bill authorizes $4.8 million annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It was introduced on July 16, 2026, by Rep. Yvette Clarke and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. As an introduced bill, it would need committee consideration, House and Senate passage, and presidential signature before becoming law.
