What this bill does
H.R. 8814, the HUD Data Privacy Act of 2026, would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to establish a policy limiting how information collected from individuals receiving housing assistance can be shared with other agencies or third parties. Under the bill, such information could only be exchanged to verify a person's eligibility or benefit determination. Any outside agency or entity that receives this information from HUD would be barred from using it for any other purpose. Exceptions are made for sharing deidentified data for statistical or research purposes and for sharing data connected to an ongoing criminal investigation or an imminent threat to life. The bill specifically states that nothing in it may be used to permit sharing information for civil immigration enforcement.
The bill applies to recipients of HUD-administered housing assistance, including public housing subsidies under Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 and Section 8 tenant-based or project-based rental assistance. It would also bind other federal agencies and third-party organizations that receive such data from HUD, restricting their use of it.
The bill was introduced on May 14, 2026, by Rep. Dan Goldman of New York, with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. As an introduced bill, it has not yet received committee action, and would need to pass the House, the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
