Bill Summary

Family Self-Sufficiency Act

AI Summary

This bill, the Family Self-Sufficiency Act, aims to promote the development of local strategies to coordinate the use of public housing assistance (Sections 8 and 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937) with public and private resources to enable eligible families to achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. The bill amends the existing Family Self-Sufficiency program by expanding eligibility, enhancing support services, and establishing a formula-based funding system to provide awards to public housing agencies (now referred to as "eligible entities") that administer the program. The bill also allows owners of privately owned properties with project-based rental assistance to voluntarily make the Family Self-Sufficiency program available to their tenants.
