H.R. 7108
This bill requires troubled public housing agencies that have court-appointed receivers or federal monitors to submit annual reports to the Department of Housing and Urban Development documenting who oversees them, when the oversight began, and when it's expected to end. The legislation also empowers the HUD Inspector General to investigate these struggling agencies at Congress's request, reviewing their compliance with federal agreements, the effectiveness of their monitors, housing conditions, and any allegations of waste or fraud within 180 days of a request. The bill affects public housing agencies currently under receiver or monitor oversight and aims to improve transparency and accountability in how these struggling agencies are managed and reformed. There is no specific funding authorization mentioned in the legislation, and the Inspector General reviews would be conducted on an as-needed basis when congressional committees request them.
