Bill > HR7596

This bill, titled the "Improving Housing Access Act," directs the Comptroller General of the United States, a non-partisan government official responsible for auditing and evaluating federal programs, to conduct a study within one year of the bill's enactment. The purpose of this study is to identify ways to remove obstacles and enhance housing options for individuals who are elderly or have disabilities. Specifically, the study will examine the potential effects of providing capital advances, which are direct financial contributions for construction or acquisition costs, for two existing programs: the program for supportive housing for the elderly under section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, and the program for supportive housing for persons with disabilities under section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act.
