Who does it affect?
It would affect low-income renters, people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, landlords, state and local governments, public housing agencies, and nonprofit and faith-based housing providers.

The changes would increase federal responsibility for housing assistance and add new legal obligations for landlords and reporting requirements for local agencies.
