The Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill on March 12 that aims to lower home prices and make housing more affordable for Americans.

The upper chamber voted 89–10 to advance the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. The bill must now be reviewed and voted upon by the House of Representatives.
