Summary
The Jobs Plus program helps public housing residents find jobs and earn more money. Starting in FY 2025, the rent incentives for Jobs Plus will change to follow new rules from a 2016 law, making the program even better. If you got a grant before FY 2025, you’ll keep using the old rent incentive rules for now.

Jobs Plus rent rules change in FY2025
Starting in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, Jobs Plus rent incentives for grants awarded in FY 2025 and future years will follow the new rent incentive structure required by the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA, approved July 29, 2016). This notice establishes that the HOTMA-based rent incentive structure applies to future Jobs Plus grants.
Existing grants keep old JPEID rules
Jobs Plus grants awarded for FY2023, FY2024, and prior fiscal years must continue to use the Jobs Plus Earned Income Disregard (JPEID) rent incentive structure under 24 CFR 960.255(e)(2). If you are in a Jobs Plus grant awarded in FY2023 or FY2024 or earlier, you will keep using the pre-FY2025 JPEID rules for rent incentives.
