To direct the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish procedures for reporting of condemned Federally assisted rental housing and to authorize penalties related to such condemned housing, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to set up, within 6 months of becoming law, a way for tenants in federally assisted rental housing to report to HUD when their housing has been condemned by a city, county, state, or federal agency. It would allow HUD to fine the owner of a condemned federally assisted rental property up to $50,000. The bill defines federally assisted rental housing to include units supported by HUD or Department of Agriculture programs, such as public housing, Section 8 rental assistance, the low-income housing tax credit, and housing programs for veterans, the elderly, people with disabilities, and Native Americans.
