Bill > H1312

This bill establishes a state-assisted housing program to provide residents increased opportunities to become self-sufficient. The program will offer a faster means for applicants to secure an apartment and become self-sufficient through intensive case management, mandatory work or school requirements, community service, and comprehensive training programs. Employed residents in the program will be enrolled in an escrow or income disregard program to accelerate debt reduction. The program also requires school-aged children of participating residents to attend school regularly. Applicants for the program will receive priority placement, but must still meet the criteria for admission into state-subsidized public housing.
