45-second read · 5 questions answered below
The Eviction Helpline Act requires HUD to set up a national hotline within one year of enactment to give tenants information and assistance related to evictions. Congress would fund it starting in fiscal year 2026 and in future years, though the bill doesn't specify an amount.
It affects renters living in federally subsidized housing, including public housing, Section 8, HOME properties, elderly/disabled housing programs, AIDS assistance housing, Native American/Native Hawaiian housing programs, and properties with government-backed mortgages. HUD would be responsible for creating and running the hotline.
Tenants in these specific housing categories would gain a federal resource for eviction-related help, while private renters outside these programs would not be covered.
