HUD would study how work requirements affect families in subsidized housing.
This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to study how work requirements affect families living in subsidized housing. The study would look at the benefits and challenges of these rules on people and housing agencies. This would give Congress information to understand the impact of these requirements. However, the study would only happen if the HUD Secretary determines it is feasible and won't harm low-income families.
Currently, there is no specific law requiring the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to study how work requirements affect families in public housing. This bill would require HUD to conduct such a study on work requirements already in place by certain public housing agencies, and to report its initial findings to Congress within one year, provided the HUD Secretary determines the study is feasible and would not harm low-income families.
