Improving Self-Sufficiency of Families in HUD-Subsidized Housing Act
Sponsored By: Representative Garcia, Sylvia R. [D-TX-29]
Introduced
Summary
A HUD study of Moving to Work work requirements would examine whether requiring work for certain public housing residents changes homelessness, poverty, economic stability, and agency capacity.
Show full summary
- Families and residents: The study would measure effects on homelessness rates, poverty, asset building, earnings growth, and job attainment and retention using both quantitative data and interviews with participants and resident councils.
- Participating public housing agencies: The focus is on agencies that proposed work requirements in their Moving to Work applications. The study would assess administrative capacity and challenges implementing those requirements and would only proceed if there are enough agencies to allow a rigorous evaluation without harming low-income families.
- Policymakers and oversight committees: HUD must report initial findings to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services within one year.
