NAR Statement on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act Becoming Law After Nearly Two Years of Advocacy

WASHINGTON (July 11, 2026) - Today, Shannon McGahn, executive vice president and chief advocacy officer of the National Association of REALTORS®, issued the following statement after the bipartisan 21^st Century ROAD to Housing Act was enacted into law:

"On behalf of more than 1.4 million REALTORS®, we thank the members of Congress and the Administration who came together to advance legislation that will benefit families and communities in every congressional district and ZIP code across the country. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act reflects years of bipartisan work and a shared commitment to addressing one of America's most pressing challenges. Over the last 21 months, REALTORS® from every state partnered with NAR's advocacy team to make housing a national priority.

"Today's achievement is the result of years of persistence, trust, and collaboration. NAR leaders testified before Congress, worked with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, provided technical expertise as the legislation evolved, and mobilized thousands of REALTORS® to advocate directly with their elected officials.

"This law combines nearly 50 carefully negotiated measures to increase housing supply, improve affordability, expand access to homeownership, strengthen housing finance, and support veterans. For REALTORS®, this law is more than a legislative victory. It shows what sustained advocacy and bipartisan leadership can accomplish to expand housing opportunities and strengthen communities nationwide."
