ROAD to Housing Act
May 01, 2026
The Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act passed the Senate in March 2026 and is headed to the House. The bill contains eight titles comprising 40 sections. Many were previously introduced as stand-alone bills. Here is an overview.
Sections on Disaster Recovery, Reducing Homelessness, Incentivizing Local Solutions to Homelessness, Helping Families Save, and Improving Self-Sufficiences of Families in HUD-Subsidized Housing will really affect the work of Winnebagoland Housing Coalition, including those of us in Fond du Lac County. Please contact your House Representatives and ask them to support the ROAD to Housing Act. Continue to follow this and other housing bills and advocacy work at Badger State Housing Alliance (note, their website is currently undergoing updates). You can also find them on Facebook.
Housing News from Fond du Lac:
The Summer 2026 Point in Time (PIT) Date is set for July 22. This is a national effort for communities to document the number of individuals found homeless overnight on select days twice a year. It is a requirement for communities in order to continue receiving HUD funding. Volunteering for PIT is a service and experience that several CSA Sisters and Associates have had within the last few years. Have you been considering it? If so, here is your chance! The sign-up for the Winnebagoland (Fond du Lac, Green Lake and Winnebago counties) July PIT is now available.
To help get a better sense of the number of unhoused in the FDL community, refer to the St. Katharine Drexel Shelter’s 2025 Impact Report, which is now available online. The statistics are alarming. Read the summary or the full report.
