HUD Payment Integrity and Accountability Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to include an improper payment assessment for project-based and tenant-based rental assistance in the department's fiscal year 2027 financial report, due by December 1, 2027. HUD would have to notify its Inspector General within 60 days when it finds that housing assistance or community development grant payments, or the number of recipients, more than doubled in a single year in an area. The Inspector General would audit programs or areas where payments or providers grew by at least 400 percent over five years. The Inspector General would also certify HUD's assessment methods ahead of the deadline and report to Senate committees on fraud risks in rental assistance spending.
