HR 8877 United States House · 119th Congress

Improving Self-Sufficiency of Families in HUD-Subsidized Housing Act

This bill directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to conduct a study on the effects of work requirements for families living in public housing. The study will examine how these rules impact various outcomes, such as employment stability, poverty levels, and homelessness, by gathering data and interviewing residents. The department must submit its findings to Congress within one year, provided there are enough agencies to evaluate the rules rigorously and the study will not harm low-income families.
