HELP Act of 2026 creates eviction information database, establishes eviction prevention grants, and limits eviction data in consumer reports.
The HELP Act of 2026 establishes a database to collect eviction information from federally assisted rental units, including details on eviction reasons, tenant representation, and court proceedings. It mandates annual reports from housing providers on evictions, ensuring data privacy and security. The Act creates a grant program for eviction prevention and legal aid, prioritizing entities with experience in serving high-risk areas and low-income tenants. It also limits the use of housing court-related records in consumer reports, enhancing tenant privacy.
