## Summary

**Would streamline environmental review and agency coordination for rural housing projects that receive both HUD and USDA funding.** It aims to cut duplicate reviews and speed projects while protecting resident safety and environmental standards. - Residents: Residents in HUD- or USDA-assisted housing would be protected by a required report showing recommended changes do not materially reduce safety, shift long-term costs onto residents, or weaken environmental protections. - Developers and owners: Builders and property owners could face fewer duplicate environmental reviews if HUD and USDA agree on a single lead agency and accept each other's environmental assessments and impact statements. - Federal process and inspections: HUD and USDA would have to evaluate NEPA categorical exclusions, maintain compliance with 24 CFR part 58 as of Jan 1, 2025, and study a joint physical inspection process. - Stakeholders and timeline: The bill would create an advisory working group that includes nonprofits, state housing agencies, builders, property managers, owners, public housing agencies, residents, and contract administrators, and would require the interagency MOU within 180 days and a recommendations report within 1 year.
