What it does

The bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish a reporting system within six months of enactment, allowing tenants of federally assisted rental housing to report when their housing has been condemned by any governmental authority. It would also authorize HUD to impose civil penalties of up to $50,000 on owners of such condemned housing.
