Rural Housing Accessibility Act

This bill, the Rural Housing Accessibility Act, allows families using federal housing vouchers to move to a new area and continue using their voucher without losing assistance. It requires the new local housing agency (if it has budget space) to either cover the costs directly or charge the original agency for up to 12 months. After 12 months, the new agency must cover all costs without billing the original agency. This directly affects rural and urban families relocating with vouchers and the public housing agencies managing their programs.
