The Housing Navigators Act of 2023 creates a federal grant program to help people understand and access housing assistance programs at the local, state, and federal levels. The Department of Housing and Urban Development would provide grants to nonprofits, industry associations, and local governments to hire housing navigators who educate people about available programs, help with applications, and provide information in culturally appropriate ways. This bill would affect low-income individuals and communities struggling to navigate complex housing assistance systems by connecting them with resources they may not know exist. The legislation authorizes fifty million dollars per year for the program from 2024 through 2029, with grantees required to meet standards set by HUD to ensure quality and avoid conflicts of interest.
