In plain language

The bill prevents housing authorities from imposing work requirements for rent assistance eligibility.

This bill stops housing authorities from setting rules that require work or time limits for rent subsidies. It allows voluntary job training programs without affecting eligibility for assistance.

What this means for you
  • Workers: Workers can participate in job training programs voluntarily without losing their rent assistance.
  • Families: This means families can access rent assistance without being required to have a job.

Summary

Amends the Housing Authorities Act. Provides that, unless otherwise required by federal law or regulation, a housing authority shall not establish or implement any rules, policies, or procedures that impose time limits or work requirements as a condition of initial or continued eligibility for any rent subsidy or assistance provided to qualifying tenants of the housing authority or to qualifying individuals through any rent subsidy or other housing assistance program administered by the housing authority. Permits a housing authority to establish, implement, or encourage an applicant or recipient of a rent subsidy or assistance to participate in a voluntary employment or job training program if the program: (1) does not impact the applicant's or recipient's initial or continued eligibility for the rent subsidy or assistance; and (2) has one of the specified goals for program participants, including, but not limited to, (i) increasing personal income, (ii) homeownership, or (iii) expanding employment options.
