The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a bipartisan housing bill.

The vote was 396-13, with only Republican lawmakers opposing it.

President Donald Trump has supported the legislation. The Senate passed its own housing bill in March in an 89-10 vote, though it has clear differences from the House legislation.

One of the points of contention is language related to a ban on Wall Street investors buying single-family homes, which the Senate version includes.

Much of the House bill includes incentives to produce multi-family homes, such as duplexes.
