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

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to study work requirements that some public housing agencies in the Moving to Work demonstration put in place before the bill becomes law. The study would look at short-, medium-, and long-term benefits and challenges for the agencies and for residents subject to the requirements, including effects on homelessness, poverty, savings, earnings, and jobs. It would use numbers and interviews with participants and their resident councils. HUD would report initial findings to Congress within 1 year. The study would only happen if HUD finds there are enough such agencies to evaluate and that the study would not harm low-income families receiving assistance.
