One of the biggest issues facing our nation is lack of affordable housing. AAF Senior Fellow Joel Griffith and Chairman Marc Short write about how families are finding it difficult to purchase a home. The currently proposed 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is not the right solution.

A Principled Approach to Affordable Housing

The ROAD to Housing Act is a Dead End for Affordability (Washington Examiner) — Joel Griffith & Marc Short

  • Senior Fellow Joel Griffith and AAF Chairman Marc Short critique the Senate’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, warning that expanding federal housing subsidies and restricting private investment will worsen affordability rather than improve it. AAF calls for reducing regulation, removing tariffs on construction materials, and expanding market-driven housing supply.

  • In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court reaffirmed a core First Amendment principle: the government cannot use subpoenas to chill free association and protected speech. AAF’s General Counsel Marc Wheat and Senior Legal Fellow Tom Jipping argue the ruling is a major rebuke to politically motivated attempts to target donors and advocacy groups.

  • April marks the second full month of jobs data since the Supreme Court ruled President Trump’s IEEPA tariffs unlawful. The AAF Jobs Report shows how gains in employment this month came mostly from industries sensitive to tariffs.
