Requires shelter allowances be set at up to one hundred percent of the fair market rent for the local social services district

Bill S 1454 requires local social services districts to set shelter allowances based on a recipient's actual rent obligation. These allowances would be capped at up to 100% of the current fair market rent, as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the corresponding unit size in that district. This change directly affects individuals receiving shelter allowances and the local social services districts responsible for administering them.
