This bill directs the Government Accountability Office, an independent federal agency, to study housing programs and services available to older Americans under the Older Americans Act. The study must examine how well federal agencies coordinate their housing efforts, identify gaps and overlaps in existing programs, and assess the availability of affordable and accessible housing for seniors considering their income levels and geographic locations. The Comptroller General must submit a comprehensive report to Congress within two years of the bill's enactment with findings and recommendations to improve housing options and services for older adults. The legislation does not create new housing programs or allocate specific funding, but rather establishes a research mandate to better understand current federal efforts and inform future policy decisions. The bill was introduced by Senators Mark Kelly, Lisa Murkowski, and Tim Kaine and referred to the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
