HUD Payment Integrity and Accountability Act of 2026
To require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to conduct an improper payment assessment for project-based and tenant-based assistance, and for other purposes.
The bill, HB8489, aims to enhance the integrity and accountability of payments made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for housing assistance programs. Specifically, it mandates that HUD assess and report on improper payments related to both project-based and tenant-based assistance, ensuring that funds are used correctly and efficiently.
This bill would affect HUD and the beneficiaries of housing assistance programs by ensuring that the funds provided are appropriately allocated and utilized. It is expected to impact housing administrators, program managers, and recipients of HUD-funded housing assistance.
As of April 23, 2026, the bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This is the most recent action, and the committee will now review the bill before any further steps are taken.
