Moore's official House release says H.R. 9992, the HUD Disaster Information Improvement Act, would facilitate disaster-relief information sharing among HUD, FEMA, and SBA; the bipartisan bill is co-led by Rep. Brittany Pettersen. The release says the bill would require HUD to enter into an MOU with FEMA and SBA to share disaster-relief data and report to Congress on collaboration and information sharing.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Pettersen took concrete legislative action matching the promise by co-leading a bill to require HUD-FEMA-SBA disaster data coordination, but the cited action is introduction/co-leadership, not enactment or implementation.

GAO lists HUD, FEMA, and SBA recommendations as open. In the 2025-2026 status text, officials said implementation of the interagency plan was postponed until the end of 2026, and GAO says HUD/FEMA/SBA still need to finalize and implement the plan and institutionalized routine processes for cross-program disaster recovery coordination.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official oversight records show the underlying HUD-FEMA-SBA information-sharing and routine coordination work had not been fully implemented as of the latest GAO status, supporting an unresolved rather than delivered assessment.

Pettersen materially advanced the promised federal policy in her current House term by co-leading H.R. 9992, which would require HUD to enter an MOU with FEMA and SBA for disaster-relief data and information sharing. However, the bill appears to have only been introduced and referred to committee, and oversight evidence indicates the broader HUD-FEMA-SBA coordination plan remains open and not fully implemented. Because the promised requirement has not passed or been implemented, but the candidate has made a serious matching legislative effort while still in office, the status is unresolved rather than delivered.
