HR 2684 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Dignity in Housing Act of 2025
To require the Department of Housing and Urban Development to inspect certain public housing developments to ensure compliance with housing quality and safety standards, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to conduct biennial inspections of public housing projects that contain 100 or more dwelling units to verify compliance with housing quality and safety standards. The inspections must be conducted by HUD employees or inspectors hired by the department, not by public housing agency staff. Results of these inspections are required to be posted publicly online. These inspections are in addition to any other inspections already required by federal law.
