TITLE ___--NEIGHBORHOOD HOMES INVESTMENT ACT
SEC. _1. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Neighborhood Homes
Investment Act''
SEC. _2. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Experts have determined that it could take nearly a
decade to address the housing shortage in the United States,
in large part due to increasing housing prices and decreased
housing inventory.
(2) The housing supply shortage disproportionately impacts
low-income and distressed communities.
(3) Homeownership is a primary source of household wealth
and neighborhood stability. Many distressed communities have
low rates of homeownership and lack quality, affordable
starter homes.
(4) Housing revitalization in distressed communities is
prevented by the value gap, the difference between the price
to rehabilitate a home and the sale value of the home.
(5) The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act can address the
value gap to increase housing rehabilitation in distressed
communities.
(6) The Neighborhood Homes Investment Act has the potential
to generate 500,000 homes over 10 years, $125,000,000,000 of
total development activity, over 800,000 jobs in construction
and construction-related industries, and over $35,000,000,000
in Federal, state, and local tax revenues.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that
the neighborhood homes credit (as added under section _3 of
this title) should be an activity administered in a manner
which--
(1) is consistent with the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (42
U.S.C. 3601 et seq.);
(2) empowers residents in eligible communities; and
(3) revitalizes distressed neighborhoods.
SEC. _3. NEIGHBORHOOD HOMES CREDIT.
(a) In General.--Subpart D of part IV of subchapter A of
chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by
inserting after section 42 the following new section:
``SEC. 42A. NEIGHBORHOOD HOMES CREDIT.
``(a) Allowance of Credit.--For purposes of section 38, the

[[Page S5069]]
``(A) the excess (if any) of--
``(i) the reasonable development costs paid or incurred by
the taxpayer with respect to such qualified residence, over
``(ii) the sale price of such qualified residence (reduced
by any reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the taxpayer
in connection with such sale), or
``(B) if the neighborhood homes credit agency determines it
is necessary to ensure financial feasibility, an amount not
to exceed 120 percent of the amount under subparagraph (A),
