HUD-USDA-VA Interagency Coordination Act

The HUD-USDA-VA Interagency Coordination Act requires the Secretaries of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Agriculture (USDA), and Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a formal agreement for sharing housing-related research and market data. Within 180 days of enactment, these agencies must jointly submit a report to Congress detailing opportunities for improved collaboration to enhance efficiency in housing programs, and publish the report for 30 days of public comment beforehand. This bill directly affects HUD, USDA, and VA by mandating new coordination procedures but does not change existing housing laws or funding. The focus is on streamlining data sharing and collaborative planning between the three agencies to support evidence-based policymaking.
