Family Re-Housing and Stabilization Program Rules Approval Resolution of 2026

This bill approves new rules for the District of Columbia's Family Re-Housing and Stabilization Program, which provides temporary rental assistance and support services to families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The key changes include adding an employment requirement for program eligibility, lowering the required contribution toward housing costs from 40-60% to 30% of adjusted annual income, and requiring service providers to assess participants for longer-term housing options within the first 90 days of assistance. The rules also introduce a financial incentive for participants who successfully exit the program into stable housing and update criteria for extending assistance beyond the standard 12-month period. These provisions aim to streamline the program while maintaining support for families working toward housing stability and economic security.
