To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 803

The section requires the study to consider the short, medium, and long-term benefits and challenges of work requirements for both the agencies and the participants subject to them, including effects on homelessness rates, poverty rates, asset building, earnings growth, getting and keeping a job, and the agencies' administrative capacity, and to include both numbers and interviews with participants and their resident councils.

What the document actually says

“including the effects work requirements have on homelessness rates, poverty rates, asset building, earnings growth, job attainment and retention, and public housing agencies' administrative capacity; and”

To increase the supply of housing in America, and for other purposes, Sec. 803
That sentence, in plain words

The study must weigh what the rules did. It must look at how many people lost a home and how many stayed poor. It must look at savings, pay, and whether people found and kept work. It must also look at what the rules cost the agencies to run.

What this is about

The study must use both numbers and people's own words. It must talk to tenants covered by the rules. It must also talk to their resident councils.

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.
