## Summary

**This bill would create a new HUD competitive grant program to eliminate blight and spur neighborhood revitalization in low‑income communities.** It would fund targeted actions like demolition, boarding, cleanup, renovation, deconstruction, and the construction or preservation of affordable housing as outcomes of blight removal. - Families and residents: Low‑income neighborhoods could see vacant and blighted structures cleared or boarded, abandoned buildings renovated, and new or preserved affordable rental and owner housing developed. Grants may not be used to acquire occupied residential units. - Local governments and community organizations: States, cities, counties, multijurisdictional entities, land banks, and Community Housing Development Organizations could compete for funds. Recipients would need to provide matching contributions of at least 15% and could use up to 10% of each grant for administrative costs. - Oversight and accountability: HUD applications must include detailed plans and timetables for spending. HUD would require annual public reporting and the Government Accountability Office would review program progress with reports at 3 and 6 years.
