Sen. Britt Introduces PATH Act to Allow Work Requirements for Public Housing Residents
The PATH Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently introduced in the Senate and sent to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time.
While this bill has support from some Republicans, work requirements for housing are highly controversial and usually face strong opposition from Democrats in the Senate.
Renters who receive federal housing assistance and are not exempt would face new work or job-training requirements. Those who meet the requirements or are exempt would see no change, but those who struggle to comply and do not qualify for hardship exceptions risk losing their rental assistance and potentially their homes.
