Whistleblower Protection Act of 2025

This bill makes clear that people working on housing programs funded by the federal housing department are protected when they speak up about waste, fraud, or abuse. It applies whistleblower protections to any HUD‑funded contract or grant—including subcontracts, subgrants, and personal services contracts—even if the agreement was signed in the past.

Key points

• Who is affected: Workers and contractors tied to any HUD‑funded contract or grant, including subcontractors and personal services contractors.
• What changes: These workers are clearly covered by federal whistleblower protections when they report problems, and employers can’t legally punish them for it.
• When: The protections apply no matter when the contract or grant was executed (past or future).
