Creates a national eviction database and offers emergency aid to help families avoid homelessness.
This bill would create a national database to track evictions across the country, aiming to better understand the issue. It would also set aside $3 billion each year for five years for emergency financial aid to help very low-income families avoid eviction and homelessness. Additionally, it would change rules for tenant screening reports, giving renters more control over their housing applications and protecting their records.
Currently, there is no national database tracking evictions, and tenants often don't receive copies of screening reports or have favorable eviction judgments removed. This bill would create a national eviction database within one year, collect detailed information on evictions, and set aside $3 billion annually for emergency assistance. It would also require consumer reporting agencies to provide tenant applicants with their reports and prevent eviction judgments in the tenant's favor from appearing on those reports.
