Going The Extra Mile: Expanding The Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act, Emily Casey
Law Student Publications
The Promoting Affordable Housing Near Transit Act (“Act”), introduced in Congress in June 2021 and signed into law six months later, proposes a goal of balancing the disproportionately-high costs of housing and transportation felt by lower-income families by combining these resources in one project: transit-oriented housing developments.
