Public housing agencies would have to share contract details online.

Public housing agencies would have to share details about their contracts online. This aims to increase transparency regarding how these agencies spend money. Right now, these contract details are not always publicly available.

What Would Change

Currently, public housing agencies are not required by federal law to publicly post details of their contracts, bids, or vendors on their websites. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Housing and Urban Development would require these agencies to publicly share specific contract information on their websites. This information would include the goods and services provided, the vendor, bids, and the official who asked for the contract.

Key Provisions
