The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (13 Aug 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
What this bill does
The "Stable Homes Act" would establish a pilot program to provide grants to local governments. These governments could use the funds to create or expand eviction diversion programs. Such programs would require landlords to notify tenants of their right to participate in these programs before starting eviction proceedings, and both parties would need to engage in good-faith dispute resolution for at least 30 days, unless there's an imminent threat of physical harm.
These eviction diversion programs aim to facilitate dispute resolution through measures like rental assistance, mediation, or housing counseling. If a landlord fails to comply with the program's requirements, tenants could use that as a defense in court. The bill also specifies that if a landlord has legal counsel, tenants earning 200% or less of the federal poverty line would have the right to counsel at no cost.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The pilot program would run from its enactment date until December 31, 2030, with funding authorized at $300 million annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
