Bill > HR7139

This bill, titled the Housing Choice Voucher Fairness Act of 2025, aims to amend the United States Housing Act of 1937 to ensure fairness in how housing assistance is provided when families move. Specifically, it addresses tenant-based assistance, which is a type of housing subsidy that allows families to choose their own rental housing. The key provision states that if a public housing agency, which administers these vouchers, provides assistance to a family and that family moves to a different area after January 1, 2026, the agency must continue to provide that assistance. The only exception is if the cost of renting the new dwelling unit is more than 10 percent higher than the cost of renting their previous unit within the agency's original service area. This change is intended to prevent families from losing their housing assistance simply because they relocate to a new area, as long as the cost difference is not significantly greater.
