The Saving the American Dream Act requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to establish a memorandum of understanding within one year of enactment, facilitating the sharing of housing‑related research and market data across agencies. Within the same period, these covered agency heads must jointly submit a comprehensive report to a set of Senate and House committees, outlining policy proposals that address seven key areas: federal housing finance coordination, mortgage origination and servicing costs, construction costs and incentives, local regulatory barriers, insurance costs, down‑payment assistance, and disaster resilience. The report is intended to provide evidence‑based recommendations for reducing barriers to housing production and improving affordability. By mandating interagency collaboration and a coordinated reporting framework, the bill seeks to streamline policy development and enhance transparency in the housing sector. The act designates specific committees—such as the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee and the House Financial Services Committee—to receive the report and oversee implementation.
