This section directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Director of the Bureau of the Census to jointly conduct a study on how Federal agencies identify and record cases of housing loss. The study must include consultation with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and the Department of Commerce. A report detailing the study's findings is required within six months of enactment and must be submitted to specified House and Senate committees. The report must identify and define types of housing loss experienced since January 1, 2022, and determine the most common types. The report must also identify relevant federal data sets, describe their characteristics (update frequency, data sharing policies, specificity, geographic coverage, and accuracy), and assess their reliability. The report should recommend improvements to how Federal agencies identify and record housing loss cases, potentially including data collection, data set creation, or consolidation. Finally, the report must identify resources or legislative authorities needed to implement these recommendations. The term 'housing loss' is defined as displacement from a dwelling unit against a person's will, including eviction, informal eviction, foreclosure (mortgage or tax), and displacement due to natural disaster.
