What happened

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law automatically at 12:01 a.m. ET on July 11 after President Donald Trump declined to sign or veto the bill. Trump said he withheld his signature to protest the Senate’s failure to pass the SAVE America Act, his proposed election bill with proof-of-citizenship and voter ID requirements. The housing measure passed both chambers of Congress in June with broad bipartisan support. It aims to expand housing supply and affordability through measures affecting home construction, grants and investor purchases of homes.
