The "Bring Down Housing Costs Act" mandates the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish a Task Force on Bringing Down Housing Costs . This task force is charged with conducting oversight of states experiencing significant increases in median existing home prices, defined as a year-over-year rise. Its primary goal is to identify these states and then develop and recommend effective strategies to mitigate rising housing costs. Specifically, the Task Force must identify states with rising housing costs within one year of its initial meeting and formulate a list of best practices for them to implement. It will then produce a report detailing these best practices and actively recommend their adoption by the identified states. Furthermore, the Task Force is responsible for continuously monitoring the implementation and overall effectiveness of these strategies in affected states. Composed of 21 members, including representatives from the Senate, House of Representatives, various federal agencies, local community organizations, and private sector entities, the Task Force will meet quarterly. It is required to submit annual reports to relevant Congressional committees and federal officials, as well as to the Governors of states with rising housing costs. The Task Force is slated to terminate five years after the bill's enactment.
