S 3309 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Building Housing for the American Dream Act

This bill amends the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program to prioritize housing projects. It redefines "housing project" to include rental housing or homes for purchase as primary residences and directs U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to prioritize processing applications for such projects, especially those using federal housing programs like Section 42 tax credits or HOME funds. The bill requires annual reports from Homeland Security on housing-related EB-5 applications and impacts, and mandates a GAO review after three years to assess whether the changes increase immigrant investment in housing. It does not change visa quotas or create new funding but streamlines processing for housing-focused investments.
