More Rental Homes: Support for Housing Choice Voucher Program

This act aims to increase landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program, especially in high-opportunity neighborhoods. It introduces one-time incentive payments, facilitates security deposit payments, and streamlines inspection processes to help low-income families find safe and decent housing.
Key points
Landlords in low-poverty areas can receive a one-time payment for renting to Housing Choice Voucher recipients.
Public housing agencies can now pay security deposits for tenants using housing vouchers, making it easier for them to rent.
Housing inspections are streamlined by accepting existing certifications from other housing programs, speeding up the rental process.
A new fund is established to support landlords, and bonuses are provided to housing agencies employing dedicated landlord liaisons.
