New Penalties and Reporting System for Condemned Federally Assisted Housing.

This bill requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to create a system allowing tenants of federally subsidized housing to report if their building has been officially condemned by local or state authorities. Property owners who allow subsidized housing to reach a condemned state face civil penalties up to $50,000, aiming to ensure safer living conditions for low-income residents. This provides tenants with a direct tool to address unsafe housing.
Key points
Tenants in federally assisted housing gain a direct reporting mechanism to HUD if their building is deemed unsafe or condemned by authorities.
Owners of condemned subsidized properties face fines up to $50,000, creating a strong incentive to maintain safe and habitable housing standards.
