Congress Just Banned Wall Street From Buying Your Neighborhood — Here's What Seniors Get

A new federal housing law took effect on July 11, 2026 — and most seniors have no idea what it does for them. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (HR 6644) passed the Senate 85 to 5 and the House 358 to 32. It became law without the president's signature. And it includes five specific provisions that directly affect older Americans — whether you own your home, rent it, want to downsize, or are trying to help your children or grandchildren get into one. In this video, I break down all five: ✅ Free home repair grants for low-income seniors who want to age in place safely (grab bars, ramps, weatherization, roof repairs — this is the Whole-Home Repairs Act, Section 202) ✅ Why more smaller homes are finally coming to market — and what that means if you've been trying to downsize for years ✅ A new federal complaint resource for seniors renting from large corporate landlords — and what to do if your landlord has been ignoring you ✅ A new FHA pilot program for mortgages under $100,000 — designed to help seniors who want to buy modest homes and can't get financing ✅ The end of Wall Street bulk-buying in single-family home markets — and why that matters for your neighborhood and your grandchildren's future I also walk through exactly what to do this week — including the phone numbers you need to get on the right lists before the money runs out. 📞 Key numbers from this video: → 211 — Connect with your local Community Action Agency for home repair assistance → 1-800-569-4287 — Free HUD-approved housing counselor → 1-800-669-9777 — Report issues with a corporate landlord to HUD This video is for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or housing advice.
