What the document says
“``(A) notify covered families of their enrollment in the Pilot Program; ``(B) provide covered families with a detailed description of the Pilot Program, including how the Pilot Program will impact their rent and finances;”
An entity taking part must tell covered families they are enrolled, give them a detailed description of the program including its effect on their rent and finances, tell them they cannot be in both this program and the Family Self-Sufficiency program at once, and let them opt out at least two weeks before the escrow account is opened and at any point afterward.
What the document actually says
“``(A) notify covered families of their enrollment in the Pilot Program; ``(B) provide covered families with a detailed description of the Pilot Program, including how the Pilot Program will impact their rent and finances;”
That sentence, in plain words
The body must tell a family it has been enrolled. It must explain the program in full. That includes what it does to the family's rent and money.
What this is about
A family is put in unless it says no. It may say no at least two weeks before the account opens. It may also leave at any time after that.
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.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
