Dignity in Housing Act of 2025

This bill would require the federal housing department to inspect large public housing developments—those with 100 or more apartments—at least every two years. These inspections would check whether buildings and units meet basic health and safety standards. The inspection results must be posted online so residents and the public can see them.

Inspections would be done by federal staff or outside inspectors chosen by the department, not by the local housing authority that runs the property. These checks are on top of any inspections already required, adding another layer of oversight to help keep homes safe and well-maintained.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Residents of large public housing properties (100+ units), local housing agencies, and the federal housing department.
• What changes: Extra, independent inspections at least every two years, plus public posting of results online.
• Why it matters: Aims to improve safety, cleanliness, and transparency in big public housing communities.
