To authorize the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to award grants to eligible entities to select pre-reviewed designs of covered structures of mixed-income housing for use in the jurisdiction of the eligible entity, and for other purposes.

Streamlined Housing Construction: The use of "pre-reviewed designs" (also known as pattern books) is intended to streamline and expedite approval pathways for housing construction by using plans already assessed and approved by localities for compliance with building and permitting standards (Section 1(a)(7)).

Increased Affordable Housing Options: The bill focuses on "mixed-income housing" and "affordable housing," which is defined as housing where monthly costs are no more than 30 percent of the monthly household income for those earning not more than 80 percent of the area median income (Section 1(a)(1) and Section 1(a)(6)).

Support for Rural Communities: The Secretary is required to ensure that at least 10 percent of the grant funds are used for grants to eligible entities located in rural areas (Section 1(d)).

Technical Assistance for Applicants: The Secretary has the authority to set aside up to 5 percent of appropriated amounts to provide technical assistance to grant recipients and prospective applicants (Section 1(h)(2)).

Public Information Access: The Secretary is encouraged to have localities make information about selected designs and their benefits available on websites, and the Secretary will collect and share best practices publicly (Section 1(f)).

Restrictions on Fund Usage: While grants are provided to select designs, the funds may not be used for actual construction, alteration, or repair work (Section 1(b)).

Financial Risk for Eligible Entities: An eligible entity may be required to return the grant funds to the Secretary if the selected pre-reviewed designs are not adopted within a 5-year period, unless an extension is granted (Section 1(g)).
