Public Housing Rent Reduction for First Responders Act

This bill would change federal public housing law so that families with at least one member who works full time as a police officer, firefighter, or emergency medical technician pay a different rent amount. Their rent would be the higher of 15 percent of the family's monthly adjusted income or 5 percent of the family's monthly income. The bill expands an existing public housing section on police officers to also cover firefighters and emergency medical technicians. It defines each of these jobs as full-time work for a federal, state, local, or tribal government agency, as determined by the public housing agency.
