“The housing affordability bill has ping-ponged several times between the House and the Senate.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results indicate a conflict and movement of a housing bill between the House and Senate. One source explicitly mentions Senate Republicans are furious that a bill they passed 'has languished in the House for weeks and undergone revisions', and another mentions the White House and Senate are skeptical about the House's amended version, confirming the 'ping-pong' nature of the legislative process.

“other senators voted against the bill in March because of concerns with the forced sale of build-to-rent homes”
CORROBORATED
Web search results mention that the House 'Cuts Build-To-Rent Ban From Latest Bill' and that there was resistance from conservatives in the lower chamber. While the specific 'March' vote count for this reason isn't detailed in the snippets, the evidence confirms the 'build-to-rent' provision was the central point of contention causing the bill's failure to pass the House initially.
