What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Restoring Fair Housing Protections Eliminated by Trump Act of 2025," aims to restore the fair housing mission of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It amends the Department's mission to focus on creating inclusive communities and protecting consumers. The legislation requires the repeal of a recent interim final rule and the issuance of a new rule regarding "affirmatively furthering fair housing." Additionally, it mandates a review of complaints involving digital platforms and artificial intelligence in housing. Finally, it directs the Secretary to develop a publicly available database to track various fair housing and Violence Against Women Act complaints.
