This bill requires three federal agencies—Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Agriculture (USDA), and Veterans Affairs (VA)—to work together more effectively on housing programs. Specifically, the agencies must establish a formal agreement to share housing research and data to support evidence-based policy decisions. Within 180 days of the bill becoming law, these three agencies must jointly submit a report to Congress identifying opportunities to improve collaboration and efficiency across their housing initiatives. Before submitting the report to Congress, the agencies must publish it in the Federal Register and allow the public 30 days to provide feedback. The bill affects millions of Americans who benefit from housing programs administered by these three departments, particularly veterans, rural residents, and low-income families.
