Establishing Flexibility for Implementation of Work Requirements and Term Limits
Abstract
This proposed rule would amend HUD regulations to provide Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and certain Multifamily Housing Owners (Owners) with the option to implement work requirements for work- eligible adults and term limits for non-elderly, non-disabled families residing in public housing or receiving assistance through Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), or Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). This proposed rule is necessary to further the statutory goals of the public housing, HCV, PBV, and PBRA programs to provide maximum local flexibility for PHAs, promote self-sufficiency for residents, promote economically mixed housing in the PBRA program, and address the affordable housing shortage.
