To establish an allowance to provide a housing stipend for Members of the House of Representatives.

HR 9416 would create a $2,500 monthly housing stipend for all House Members, including Delegates and Resident Commissioners, who serve in Washington, D.C. To qualify, Members must apply with a statement confirming they won't use their office for overnight stays and provide additional required information. The stipend must be used exclusively for housing within the Washington metropolitan area, defined as Washington, D.C., and specific counties in Maryland and Virginia. This policy change directly affects House Members' housing costs in the D.C. area, replacing or supplementing existing housing arrangements.
