AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to set up a hotline within 1 year after the law takes effect. The hotline would help tenants with eviction-related matters. It would serve tenants of rental units that receive assistance through federal housing programs, such as public housing, Section 8, and housing for the elderly or people with disabilities, or that are on properties with federally backed mortgage loans. The bill authorizes Congress to provide whatever funding is needed for the hotline starting in fiscal year 2026 and each year after.
