AI Summary

This bill requires the Inspector General (IG) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide annual congressional testimony by October 1st each year. The IG must appear before two specific congressional committees - the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee - and present a comprehensive report on six key areas: the office's efforts to detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse; its ability to conduct and supervise audits, investigations, and reviews; actions to help HUD's programs progress and succeed; recommendations for improving the department's efficiency and public accountability; an assessment of whether HUD has sufficient resources to fulfill its mission; and a summary of any additional ongoing work. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and oversight of HUD's operations by mandating regular, detailed reporting from its independent Inspector General to Congress.
