Puerto Rico Low-Income Housing Support Act

The Puerto Rico Low-Income Housing Support Act amends federal housing law to require that public housing agencies and projects in Puerto Rico use the same poverty guidelines as those applied in the contiguous 48 states and Washington, D.C. This change removes a prior exception that allowed Puerto Rico to apply different income thresholds for determining "extremely low-income" status. As a result, low-income families in Puerto Rico will now be evaluated using the same federal income standards as mainland U.S. residents for housing assistance programs. The bill directly affects Puerto Rico's public housing eligibility criteria without altering funding levels or program structure.
