Housing Emergency Aid: Eviction Data, Legal Support, and Tenant Protection.
This act aims to create a national eviction database to better understand the causes and scope of evictions. It establishes legal aid programs for tenants at risk of eviction and limits the use of eviction information in consumer reports, protecting citizens' credit histories. Additionally, owners of federally assisted housing will be required to inform tenants about their rights and available resources.
