Law

Congress would require the Housing and Urban Development Department to set up an eviction help hotline within 1 year of the law taking effect.
The hotline would be for tenants in federally assisted housing, like public housing and federal rental assistance programs.
It would also cover renters in properties with federally backed mortgages, even if the renter doesn’t get a direct housing subsidy.
The goal is to give renters a clear place to call for eviction-related help, instead of having to figure it out on their own.
The bill allows funding as needed starting in fiscal year 2026, but it does not set a specific dollar amount.
