On Wednesday, June 26, 2019, the House Financial Services Committee held a markup of H.R. 1690, the Safe Housing for Families Act of 2019, legislation that protects residents of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-subsidized housing from carbon monoxide poisoning.
This legislation, introduced by Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL), would authorize $300 million over three years to fund the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide detectors in HUD-subsidized housing units that have combustion-fueled appliances or a ventilation system that connects them to such units.
It was approved on a voice vote.

Most residents of HUD housing can not get their lease agreements enforced and corporate management partnerships held FULLY ACCOUNTABLE for their nuisance properties. Tenants, who expect to live in safe and respectable housing, are afraid to speak out anymore because previous tenants have been marked by corporate landlords, harrassed by other tenants, and had to withstand frivolous eviction proceedings.
