“Where admissible in regulatory action, HUD should implement reforms reducing the implicit anti-marriage bias in housing assistance programs, strengthen work and work-readiness requirements, implement maximum term limits for residents in PBRA and TBRA programs, and end Housing First policies so that the department prioritizes mental health and substance abuse issues before jumping to permanent interventions in homelessness.”

Context:
So, in a nutshell, bring back racial discrimination practices in affordable housing and housing evaluations, make it more difficult for people to access affordable housing, implement term limits for the amount of time people can live in affordable housing (which will cause homelessness amongst the disabled community – they don’t magically become “abled” after a term limit), and end Housing First policies, which will exacerbate homelessness and addiction. For more about how Housing First policies work, see the analysis below.
