Bill > HR307

This bill aims to address the critical infrastructure needs of public housing in the United States. It authorizes the appropriation of $70 billion to the Public Housing Capital Fund, which is the primary source of funding for public housing authorities to address necessary upgrades and repairs. The bill acknowledges the significant capital repair backlog, estimated at over $70 billion nationwide, and the resulting substandard living conditions that have led to severe health consequences for public housing residents, including respiratory illnesses, lead poisoning, and the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19. The bill seeks to reinvest in public housing and ensure that all Americans have access to a decent and suitable living environment, as mandated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
