Legislative Text of the Affordable Housing Bond Enhancement Act

The Affordable Housing Bond Enhancement Act, introduced on April 29, 2025, by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA), enacts several of NCSHA’s long-standing priorities for strengthening the Mortgage Revenue Bond (MRB) and Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) programs. Notable provisions include increasing the MRB home improvement loan limit, allowing MRBs to be used to fund refinancing loans, providing HFAs additional flexibility in how they utilize carryforward housing bond authority, and simplifying how a borrower’s MCC benefit is calculated.
