Toolbox Tuesday Recap: An Introduction to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act
On Oct. 27, 2026, SCAG hosted a Toolbox Tuesday session featuring a comprehensive overview of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, landmark federal housing legislation that became law on July 11, 2026.
Presented by SCAG’s federal lobbyist, Leslie Pollner, the session explains the bill's main points, including changes to housing, transportation, infrastructure, and land use policies to support new housing development and reduce barriers to housing production, transportation planning, and infrastructure investment.
The session explains more about how the law will influence local and regional governments and how it might influence future federal housing and transportation policies. The session also highlights potential federal funding opportunities for cities, counties, and regional agencies, including when future funding programs might become available.
A video of the session is now available on YouTube.
