Sponsored By: Representative Lawler, Michael [R-NY-17]
Introduced
Summary
This bill would create stronger federal oversight of troubled public housing agencies by requiring annual reporting to HUD and targeted Inspector General reviews. It focuses on tracking receivers or federal monitors and on evaluating compliance and housing conditions.
Show full summary
- Residents would see more scrutiny of building conditions because reviews must assess physical conditions and compliance with health and safety standards.
- Covered public housing agencies would have to file an annual notice to HUD confirming whether a receiver or federal monitor remains appointed as of October 1, list the date the monitor was first appointed, and, if known, give a projected termination date.
- Receivers, federal monitors, and any private housing development partners would face examination of their actions and any gaps in oversight as part of the IG review.
- The HUD Inspector General would be required to conduct a formal review within 180 days of a written request from either the House Financial Services Committee or the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee and to issue recommendations to improve compliance and oversight.
