The Whistleblower Protection Act of 2025 expands protections for employees who report wrongdoing at companies and organizations working on federal contracts. Specifically, the bill clarifies that existing whistleblower protections under federal law apply to all contracts, grants, and agreements funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including subcontractors and partners. This protects workers employed by private companies and nonprofits that receive HUD funding from retaliation if they report illegal activities, safety violations, or other misconduct. The bill applies to all HUD-funded agreements regardless of when they were originally signed. The legislation was introduced in July 2025 and referred to the House Committees on Financial Services and Oversight and Government Reform for review.
