Housing Accountability Act of 2023
The Housing Accountability Act of 2023 requires housing providers receiving federal rental assistance to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary living conditions. It mandates semiannual tenant surveys to identify persistent issues with building conditions or management, triggering a remediation process if problems are found. Providers failing to meet standards face penalties of at least 1% of their annual funding, with collected funds used solely for safety improvements or tenant relocation. The bill also requires HUD to report on capital reserves and fund usage for these housing units within one year of enactment.
