What this bill would do

This bill seeks to amend the National Housing Act to create a new insurance program through the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The program is designed to insure second liens used to finance the construction of accessory dwelling units. These units can include modular or prefabricated units, manufactured units, or conversions of existing structures. The bill establishes specific limits on loan amounts and allows for increases based on projected rental income. Additionally, it authorizes Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase and securitize these insured loans.
