Top House Republicans this week say they pulled together a rare coalition of supporters for their long-awaited, revised bipartisan housing package — but the outlook for the bill is anything but cheery.

The House’s new bill is an amended version of the Senate’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. House lawmakers removed a key but controversial provision that would force large investors to sell build-to-rent single-family homes seven years after construction. Several House Republicans and Democrats alike were opposed to the provision over concerns it would affect tenants’ ability to find housing, as well as discourage companies from building more rentals.

House leadership said the changes in the new package are enough to pull together a broad coalition of supporters, allowing them to bring it to the floor for a vote next week.

“What we’ve tried to do is find a coalition of both Democratic and Republican comments and priorities and place them in this bill so that we can provide the support for housing,” Rep. French Hill, the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, told NOTUS, adding that the changes were “essential” because “we didn’t have the votes in the House for the Senate bill as drafted.”

Hill said that he believes the bill “can achieve a strong bipartisan vote on the House floor next week.”

But there are signs that the Republican conference is not as united as the lawmakers spearheading the effort would like. And the changes to the legislation go against what the Senate and the White House have called for, and both would need to be on board in order for the House bill to get anywhere.

At the White House, there’s already consternation about it.

“The bill is under review,” a White House spokesperson said. “New provisions were added before the administration had a chance to review or provide technical assistance.”

“There may be serious policy concerns or implementation challenges,” they added.

As Republicans burn more time before bringing it to the floor, some conservative House Republicans privately say they’re starting to have issues with the legislation, particularly after weeks of negotiations between the Senate and White House that House lawmakers were elbowed out of.

“There’s a number of folks in conference who feel like the bill may be too favorable to the Senate Democrats,” one House Republican, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly, told NOTUS. “There’s concern in the House that that housing bill needs to be reworked.”

A second House Republican said there are remaining frustrations toward the Senate for changing the House’s initial bill, which passed in February in a 390-9 vote.

“The House feels like we got screwed,” said the second House Republican.

“We passed our bill, and they threw it in the garbage,” this lawmaker continued. “I don’t think you have a Democrat-Republican problem here; it’s the perennial issue of the House versus the Senate.”

And Rep. Andy Harris, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, which strongly opposed portions of the Senate bill, is still noncommittal about the new House bill. While he has not shut down the possibility of supporting it and said that some of the “worst provisions had been taken out,” he told NOTUS, “we’re looking it over.”

Among the House bill’s public supporters are rank-and-file Republicans, Democrats, and Republican House leadership. They’ve been in lockstep in painting a rosy picture about the House’s housing package, which was revealed late Wednesday night.

“I feel like we’re unified. We see a mission here. We see an opportunity to deliver for the American people,” Republican Rep. Mike Flood, the chair of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance, told NOTUS.

NOTUS observed Speaker Mike Johnson and Hill huddling on the House chamber floor on Thursday. A source familiar with the conversation said it revolved around Johnson reiterating to Hill that leadership will support the legislation amid grumblings that it could face some opposition.

Hill said that Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise “helped us craft this version” of the bill. Both have been instrumental in ensuring that the House can proceed with its own version of the bill. Johnson has also kept Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Sen. Tim Scott, who led the Senate’s version of the bill, updated, according to the source.

A Republican aide for the House Financial Services Committee told reporters in a press call on Thursday morning that Hill and Rep. Maxine Waters, the Democratic lead on the bill, “put together something that we felt like was able to keep the Senate’s version of ROAD to Housing Act intact, but also reflect the priorities of the House.”

The aide, who at the time said that they had yet to hear from the Senate Banking Committee on its reaction to the amended bill, said that senators and the White House should not be surprised by the changes.

“Conversations on like, where the House lines were, what provisions were creating this math problem in the House, what House provisions we needed in [the bill], have been communicated both at the committee level, to members on Senate Banking, and to the administration throughout this entire process,” the aide added.

In the Senate, Scott’s office on Thursday made clear he has no plans to get behind the House’s amended version.

“As Chairman Scott has said many times, it is time for the House to support President Trump and pass the 21st Century Road to Housing Act unamended,” Jeff Naft, a spokesperson for Scott, told NOTUS of the House’s push.

Some House lawmakers were bracing for that type of response and were clear-eyed about the outstanding hurdles.

Democratic Rep. Josh Harder, co-chair of the Build America Caucus, a group that focuses on increasing housing accessibility, told NOTUS he’s wary of celebrating the House’s actions on the bill.

“I don’t want to pop the champagne quite yet,” Harder said on Thursday. “I’m going to do it once this bill is signed into law. But I think today shows that we have a very clear path to getting this done.”

“I think ultimately it was just a little bit of a turf war over the last couple of weeks and months for sure” between the House and the Senate, Harder added. “But hopefully we’ll be able to come together on this package. And I think the Senate, my Senate colleagues, will hopefully agree that this is a stronger bill because of the changes we’ve made.”
