House Housing Committee

Committees hold public hearings on bills, take votes in executive sessions, and study issues in work sessions. Learn about the Housing Committee, its membership and meetings, and how to participate.

    The House Housing Committee considers a broad array of issues relating to housing, including accessibility, affordability, assistance, and supply; land use and zoning primarily related to residential uses; landlord-tenant law; homelessness; homeownership; farmworker housing; manufactured housing; housing authorities; and the Housing Finance Commission.
