F. Official Residences

Members of Congress shall maintain a furnished official residence in the Nation’s Capital whenever they are not serving their mandated district recess periods. Congress must provide each Member with a uniform residence suitable for family habitation, including no fewer than three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and living quarters. The government shall cover maintenance, furnishings, and utilities. These residences ensure Members can perform their duties in the Capital without undue hardship, while preserving their home district living arrangements. Congress may prescribe by law detailed regulations governing these residences, including eligibility, allocation procedures, and oversight mechanisms.
