DASH Act

This bill would create a federal rental voucher program for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with incomes below 50 percent of the area median income, starting with 250,000 vouchers in 2026 and 400,000 per year after that. Public housing agencies would partner with child welfare agencies and local homeless service networks, hire service coordinators, and give first priority to homeless youth and families with children. States that miss yearly targets for issuing vouchers could face cuts to their federal highway funding. The bill would also authorize funding for building affordable rental housing, grants to local governments that change zoning rules to allow more housing types, rural and farmworker housing programs, and several housing-related tax credits.
