Puerto Rico Low-Income Housing Support Act

This bill amends federal housing law to apply the same poverty standards used in the contiguous U.S. to Puerto Rico, ending a previous distinction that treated Puerto Rico differently for housing assistance eligibility. It requires a report from the Comptroller General assessing how HUD and Puerto Rico's housing agency identify needs for extremely low-income families, use disaster recovery funds for housing after events like hurricanes, and improve program effectiveness. The report will evaluate efforts to connect low-income families in Puerto Rico with housing assistance and affordable units under existing federal programs. This directly affects extremely low-income families in Puerto Rico by standardizing eligibility rules and mandating a review of current housing support. Key mechanisms include revising poverty guidelines in the Housing Act and establishing a formal assessment of housing program performance.
