Plain-English Summary

The federal government would study how different agencies track and record when people lose their homes, then report back to Congress with their findings. This would help identify gaps in how housing loss data is collected across the country, making it easier for policymakers to understand the full scope of homelessness and housing instability affecting Americans.
