Notwithstanding and other provision of law, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall allow public housing agencies to approve a tenancy using a voucher provided under section 8(o) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 ( 42 U.S.C. 1437f(o) ) and make a payment under such voucher before inspection of the dwelling unit if the inspection will be conducted more than 14 days after receiving a tenancy package. If the unit fails inspection and is not brought into compliance within 14 days, the owner of the unit shall repay the payment received from the public housing agency within the following 14 days and shall not hold the tenant responsible for payment and shall not evict or terminate the tenant on such basis.
If the tenant is in the unit at the time the payment is issued but the unit does not pass inspection, the public housing agency shall be responsible for relocating the tenant and providing additional assistance. Within 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall establish additional incentives for public housing agencies to perform expedited inspection of dwelling units.
