Every Texan deserves a safe and affordable home. These bills can make it possible.

The housing shortage is driving up costs and hurting Texas families. Right now, bills that would allow more homes are stalling in the Texas Legislature, and you can help fix it. 

Here's what's happening right now.

Urgent Actions This Week:

  • SB 844 / HB 24 — which restore majority rule for housing decisions rather than allowing tiny minorities to block housing.

This is why your action matters.

Texas faces a housing shortage that’s pushing prices out of reach for working families. First responders, teachers, and young families can’t find homes near their work.

 

9 in 10 Texans say housing costs are a serious problem. But a few outdated rules are standing in the way of new, affordable homes being built.

 

You can help change that by contacting your legislators — especially those on the House Land & Resource Management Committee.
