This bill requires public housing agencies across the country to create online portals where tenants and applicants can access information about their housing and track complaints and service requests. Within 180 days of the law's passage, agencies must set up websites where residents can view their legal rights, learn about property management and performance, and monitor the status of any requests or complaints they submit in real time. The portals must also display annual fact sheets showing funding sources, inspection scores, and information about planned improvements. Small rural agencies with 50 or fewer units are exempted from these requirements but must provide alternative ways to share the same information. The bill authorizes federal grants to help agencies pay for building and maintaining these online systems, though no specific funding amount is specified, and requires agencies to report quarterly to the Department of Housing and Urban Development on how they use the grants.
