21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

This bill makes changes to several federal housing programs. It raises the loan limits for government-backed mortgages on multifamily homes, increases the income cap so more people can qualify for housing assistance grants, and creates a new grant program to help local and state governments plan for affordable housing. The bill also makes other changes, such as stopping veterans' disability payments from counting as income when determining eligibility for a veterans housing program, removing the requirement that manufactured homes be built on a permanent frame with wheels, skipping certain environmental reviews for some housing projects, and setting up a test program using temperature sensors in public housing. Finally, it increases oversight of housing agencies by requiring them to publicly share information about their contracts online.
