Housing: New Grants for Eviction Diversion Programs
The Stable Homes Act is currently in the House Committee on Financial Services. It has not moved since August 13, 2026, and the committee must decide whether to hold a vote on the bill. Most bills do not receive a committee vote, so this proposal is not showing signs of progress.
This bill is in the early stages and was introduced by a single representative. Without more support from both parties, it will be difficult to pass through a divided Congress.

Many landlords are small business owners or individual property owners, and in jurisdictions that adopt this program they would need to give tenants written notice by hand and mail, wait at least 30 days while participating in good-faith negotiations before filing an eviction, and risk having any noncompliance used against them as a legal defense in court.
“In the case that the landlord does not comply with any requirement of the program, the ability of the tenant to assert such noncompliance as a defense in any related eviction court proceeding.”
