Local Rent Supplement Program Eligibility Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends the rules for the District of Columbia's local rent supplement programs to restrict how the Housing Authority evaluates applicants. It prohibits officials from asking about or considering an applicant's immigration status, prior criminal arrests, convictions, or pending criminal cases. Additionally, the legislation allows individuals to self-certify their eligibility when they cannot easily provide official verification documents. The law is designed to apply to tenant-based, sponsor-based, and project-based voucher assistance and includes a requirement that income limits remain at or below 30% of the area median income.
