The Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All Act, or DASH Act, introduces a comprehensive set of reforms and new programs designed to address homelessness and improve housing affordability across the United States. The bill is divided into two main titles, focusing on general housing assistance and revenue provisions, primarily through tax credits. Title I establishes a new, directly appropriated rental voucher program for the homeless , providing assistance to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness with incomes below 50 percent of the area median. This program mandates the provision of 250,000 vouchers in the first year and 400,000 annually thereafter, ensuring funding for all eligible recipients. Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) are required to partner with Continuums of Care and child welfare agencies to identify eligible recipients, prioritizing homeless youth and families with children, and must provide supportive services through dedicated service coordinators. States are held accountable with benchmarks for reducing homelessness, facing penalties like reduced Federal highway funds for non-compliance. This title also authorizes $10 billion annually for the Housing Trust Fund to support land acquisition and the development or rehabilitation of rental housing for very low-income and extremely low-income households, prioritizing homeless populations. A pilot program for modular construction is established, offering grants to entities building affordable housing with long-term affordability commitments. Furthermore, the bill seeks to support pro-housing development by prohibiting certain restrictive zoning practices and offering competitive grants to jurisdictions that adopt more flexible, pro-housing zoning methods. Finally, it provides permanent authorization of appropriations for McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act grants , ensuring ongoing funding for vital homeless services. Title II introduces several significant tax credit reforms and new credits to incentivize affordable and middle-income housing development and homeownership. It increases state allocations for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and creates set-asides and increased credits for projects serving extremely low-income households , as well as those located in Indian areas and rural areas designated as difficult development areas. The bill also modifies LIHTC rules to strengthen long-term affordability commitments, such as reforming the qualified contract option and clarifying tenant purchase rights. Additionally, it prohibits LIHTC qualified allocation plans from considering local support or contributions in selection criteria and provides an increased credit for buildings offering on-site supportive services. A new Renters Credit is introduced, offering a refundable tax credit to eligible renters based on the difference between market rent and 30% of their income, with state allocation plans and tenant protections. A new Middle-Income Housing Tax Credit is established to incentivize the development of housing affordable to households earning up to 100% of the area median income, requiring long-term affordability commitments. These new credits aim to broaden the scope of housing support beyond traditional low-income programs. The bill also creates the Neighborhood Homes Credit , a tax credit for building or substantially rehabilitating homes in distressed communities, facilitating affordable sales to qualified homeowners and including provisions for owner-occupied rehabilitations. For homebuyers, it establishes a First-Time Homebuyer Refundable Credit of up to $15,000, which can be transferred to a mortgage lender to reduce down payments, subject to income and purchase price limitations and a recapture period. Lastly, the bill allows for the deduction of losses from the sale of principal residences (up to $100,000) and makes permanent the exclusion from gross income for discharged principal residence indebtedness , aiming to provide financial relief and stability for homeowners.
