Law

Sen. Ricketts introduced a bill that asks the government's watchdog agency to study how to improve housing for seniors and people with disabilities. The goal is to identify what is currently making it hard for these groups to find or keep a place to live.
The study will look closely at two specific federal programs that help provide housing for the elderly and those with disabilities. It will check if giving these programs more upfront funding would help them work better.
The agency would have one year to finish this research and report back to Congress. While the bill doesn't change any laws right away, the results of the study could lead to future changes in how the government handles affordable housing.
