To require Federal monitors and receivers of public housing agencies to testify before the Committee on Financial Services of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate.

# Summary of HR 6825 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 6825 would require federal monitors and receivers assigned to struggling public housing agencies to testify before two congressional committees: the House Committee on Financial Services and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Federal monitors and receivers are officials appointed to oversee and manage public housing agencies that are failing financially or operationally. This bill would make these officials legally required to report directly to Congress about the conditions and performance of these housing agencies. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect federal housing officials, public housing agencies that are under federal oversight, and residents of public housing who depend on these agencies.

It would also require Congress to receive regular updates on the state of troubled public housing systems across the country. The bill is sponsored by Representative Nydia Velázquez, a Democrat from New York. **Current Status** As of now, HR 6825 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House or Senate. No specific timeline for action has been announced.
