AI Summary

This bill, called the Ensuring Affordable Housing Security During the Coronavirus Emergency Act of 2020, suspends the requirement for tenants of assisted housing (such as public housing, Section 8 housing, and other federally-subsidized housing programs) to pay any contribution towards rent during the COVID-19 public health emergency. The bill also requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Agriculture to reimburse housing owners and public housing agencies for the lost rental income and any increased costs of administering and maintaining the housing due to the pandemic. The bill prohibits tenants from being charged fines or fees, from accruing debt, from being liable for repayment, or from having their credit scores affected due to the nonpayment of rent during this period.
