Democrats on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs announced a January 7, 2026 roundtable with housing affordability and accessibility organizations, positioning it as the first event in a broader 2026 Costs Initiative focused on lowering housing costs. Ahead of the roundtable, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer released a “Broken Promises” analysis alleging President Trump failed to deliver on commitments to lower housing costs and to cut the cost of a new home in half. The roundtable is expected to focus on practical policy options to provide relief to renters and homebuyers, including continued efforts to enact the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act, which passed the Senate unanimously last fall. Participants listed include leaders from the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, National Fair Housing Alliance, and several policy and advocacy organizations.
