Bill > B25-0047

This bill amends the Homeless Services Reform Act of 2005 to reform the Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) program. The key provisions include: 1. Ensuring that individuals and families in RRH pay no more than 30% of their income towards rent. 2. Requiring the assessment of RRH participants for the receipt of permanent housing vouchers, such as permanent supportive housing or targeted affordable housing, within 6 months of program entry. 3. Making case management services for RRH participants optional, with the exception of those receiving Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. 4. Establishing eligibility and prioritization criteria for Targeted Affordable Housing vouchers, which provide long-term rental assistance to individuals and families experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. The bill aims to improve housing stability and affordability for individuals and families in the RRH program and provide a pathway to more permanent housing solutions.
