The House-passed text included Public Housing Investments with $10 billion for the Public Housing Capital Fund, $53 billion for priority investments to repair, replace, or construct public housing properties, and required funds to address health, safety, and environmental hazards including lead, fire, carbon monoxide, mold, asbestos, radon, and pest infestation.

The House bill Dingell supported directly targeted unhealthy and unsafe conditions in HUD-assisted public housing, but this broad repair package did not become the enacted law.

Congress.gov records H.R. 5376 as passed by the House on November 19, 2021, passed by the Senate with an amendment on August 7, 2022, and became Public Law No. 117-169 on August 16, 2022.

The legislative vehicle became law only after the Senate amendment, so the House-passed public housing repair package was narrowed before enactment.

The enrolled law appropriated HUD funds for Improving Energy Efficiency or Water Efficiency or Climate Resilience of Affordable Housing, including grants and loans for eligible HUD-assisted properties to improve energy or water efficiency, enhance indoor air quality or sustainability, and address climate resilience.

The enacted law partially addressed conditions in HUD-assisted housing by funding indoor air quality, efficiency, and resilience upgrades, but it did not include the broader House-passed health and safety repair package.
