S 3768 (ABODE Act) creates a HUD grant program for developers to build or rehabilitate affordable homes for households earning no more than 50% of area median income. Grants require projects to reduce development costs while meeting specific energy efficiency, resiliency, and accessibility standards - particularly for people with disabilities. Priority is given to projects in areas with severe housing shortages or using universal design. HUD must report to Congress within two years on funded projects, home pricing, and cost savings from the efficiency measures.
