Yes In My Backyard Act
This bill requires certain Community Development Block Grant program recipients to submit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development information regarding their implementation of certain land-use policies, such as policies for expanding high-density single-family and multifamily zoning.
The purpose of the bill is to discourage discriminatory land use policies and make housing more affordable.
The bill requires recipients of grants under the Community Development Block Grant program to prepare and submit a description of their land use policies.
The bill lists various land use policies that should be included in the description, such as enacting high-density zoning, allowing multifamily development in certain areas, and reducing minimum lot size.
The requirements under this bill will take effect one year after its enactment and apply to recipients of grants before and after that date.
