House GOP lines up next week for bipartisan housing bill vote

House Republicans plan a floor vote the week of Feb. 9 on the bipartisan Housing for the 21st Century Act, a 25-provision package to boost housing supply and modernize programs, potentially using suspension of House rules to speed passage. The effort comes as lawmakers balance the measure with a Senate-passed companion and the ongoing risk of a partial government shutdown, with GOP concerns over certain provisions in the Senate bill complicating cross-chamber negotiations.
