HUD Data Privacy Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to set a policy that information collected from people receiving public housing or Section 8 rental assistance may be shared with other agencies or outside entities only to verify their benefit eligibility or benefit determination. Agencies or entities that receive this information could not use it for any other purpose. The limits would not apply to sharing deidentified information for statistics or research, or to sharing data for an ongoing criminal investigation or to prevent an imminent threat to life. The bill states that nothing in it permits sharing information for civil enforcement of immigration laws.
