Commission to Review and Optimize Federal Housing Programs and Reduce Housing Inflation.

This Act establishes a temporary Commission tasked with conducting a comprehensive review of all Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs. The goal is to identify waste, reduce complexity, and propose legislative reforms to make federal housing assistance more efficient and better targeted for citizens. The Commission will also analyze the link between housing costs and inflation, seeking solutions to lower housing expenses for the public.
Key points
Creation of an independent Commission to evaluate HUD programs, focusing on efficiency, reducing overlap, and improving service delivery for beneficiaries and taxpayers.
The Commission must address the "benefits cliff" problem (losing aid after a small income increase) and recommend ways to reduce housing cost inflation.
The Commission's final recommendations, including proposed program consolidations or eliminations, will receive expedited, unamendable votes in Congress.
