Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
Summary
The HELP Act would require HUD to collect detailed eviction data from states and local housing programs and store it in a protected database. It also establishes a grant program to give nonprofit and government entities money to provide no‑cost legal help to tenants facing eviction, with special attention to high‑need and rural areas. Finally, the bill adds evictions and rent or utility arrears to the prohibited‑item list in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, preventing them from appearing on consumer credit reports.
