Penalties for HUD's Failure to Enforce Public Housing Community Service

This act establishes financial penalties for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) if it fails to enforce community service requirements for public housing tenants. Annually, HUD must disclose the amount of federal subsidies provided to non-compliant tenants, and this amount will then be rescinded from HUD's management and administration budget. This aims to increase accountability and ensure public housing residents meet their obligations.
