Bill > HR5889

This bill establishes a national hotline to provide assistance and information to tenants living in federally assisted rental housing units within one year of the Act's enactment. The hotline will be administered by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and will offer support for eviction-related matters. The bill defines "covered federally assisted rental dwelling units" as residential properties receiving federal assistance through various housing programs, including public housing, rental assistance, HOME Investment Partnerships, homeless assistance, Housing Trust Fund, supportive housing for elderly and disabled individuals, AIDS housing, Native American housing, and properties with federally backed mortgage loans. The bill authorizes the appropriation of necessary funds for fiscal year 2026 and subsequent years to support the hotline's operation. The legislation aims to provide tenants in federally supported housing with a centralized resource for guidance and help during potential eviction situations, ensuring they have access to information and support to protect their housing security.
