Bill Summary
To exempt income of up to one hundred thousand dollars earned by a child living with a parent from such parent's gross income for the purpose of determining the parent's eligibility to participate in the rental assistance program.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend existing law to allow the Commissioner of Housing to exclude up to $100,000 of income earned by a child under the age of 24, who lives with their parent, from being counted as part of the parent's total income. This change is specifically for the purpose of determining if the parent is eligible to receive rental assistance, a program designed to help low-income individuals and families afford housing. The bill also indicates that appropriations for the rental assistance program will be adjusted to accommodate this change, meaning the funding for the program will be modified to reflect the new eligibility rules.
