Bill overview
This bill directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Health and Human Services to study how home and housing design can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, particularly COVID-19. The study will examine design features like improved ventilation, outdoor spaces, and hands-free fixtures, and how they could be integrated into housing assistance programs. The goal is to identify and recommend changes to housing that can better protect residents, especially seniors, people with disabilities, and those experiencing homelessness.
