Bill Author Introduction Statement

Distinguished members of the Cortes Federales, I present to you the National Housing Acceleration Act - a comprehensive solution to our Federation's housing crisis. This legislation establishes an ambitious yet achievable target of eight million new housing units by 1747 AN through a balanced approach of tax incentives, financial reforms, regulatory streamlining, and public-private partnerships.

The Act introduces strategic interventions across multiple sectors: tax holidays for developers, capital gains exemptions for long-term housing investments, reformed mortgage lending requirements, and enhanced financial mechanisms to unlock NAX€12 trillion in housing investment. For our citizens, we provide concrete support through first-time homebuyer tax credits and essential worker down payment assistance, ensuring our economic growth benefits all New Alexandrians.

By streamlining construction permitting, establishing a Fast-Track Approval System, and developing Uniform Building Codes, we will dramatically reduce development timelines while maintaining quality standards. Our Urban Housing Initiative ensures 30% of new units will be in high-density areas, supported by coordinated infrastructure investment. This legislation represents our commitment to addressing the housing shortage through market-oriented solutions that will strengthen our economic foundation for generations to come. - Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Lauren Lefebvre
