What the document says

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 404

The new subsection provides that a rise in a covered family's earned income while enrolled may not be counted as income or a resource in deciding the family's eligibility for, or the amount of, other benefits under any program the Secretary administers.

What the document actually says

“Any increase in the earned income of a covered family during the enrollment of the family in the Pilot Program may not be considered as income or a resource for purposes of eligibility of the family for other benefits, or amount of benefits payable to the family, under any program administered by the Secretary.”

That sentence, in plain words

A family in the test may earn more. That rise does not count against it. It does not change what other help the family may get.

What this is about

Earning more can cut a family off other aid. That can leave it worse off. This rule stops that inside the housing agency's own programs.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
