PATH Act

This bill would allow public housing agencies and owners of certain federally assisted rental housing to set minimum work requirements for tenants, with a maximum requirement of 40 hours per week. People under 18 or over 62, people with disabilities, pregnant women, primary caretakers of children under 6 or of dependents with serious medical conditions, and college students would be exempt. Work, job training, job searching, community service, and certain education would count toward the requirement. Agencies or owners that adopt the requirement would have to offer supportive services, give tenants written notice at least 3 months before starting, create a hardship exception process, and check compliance at least once a year, and they could end housing assistance for tenants who do not comply. The changes would take effect on January 1, 2027.
