HOMEFRONT Act of 2025

The HOMEFRONT Act of 2025 primarily aims to exempt specific units of military housing from the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This exemption applies to military unaccompanied housing and military family housing facilities that were already in use under the Secretary of Defense's jurisdiction as of the bill's enactment date. The Secretary retains limited authority to exclude up to one-tenth of one percent of these units from the exemption, provided they were not already listed on the National Register of Historic Places by January 20, 2025. Furthermore, the bill amends title 10, United States Code, to prohibit landlords of privatized military housing from requiring tenants or prospective tenants to sign nondisclosure agreements related to leases or services. Any such agreement against the tenant's interests is deemed invalid, though an exception is made for nondisclosure agreements executed as part of a litigation settlement. This prohibition on nondisclosure agreements applies retroactively to any agreement covered by the terms of the amendment.
