A representative from the American Enterprise Institute stated that public housing limits necessitate complementary support measures for upward mobility. Currently, only about 140 housing authorities can impose such limits, and even fewer have enacted them. A proposed HUD rule aims to broaden authority among housing agencies to implement work requirements and time limits for able-bodied adults. A collaborative essay by key officials argued for reforms that would mandate work for potentially able individuals, emphasizing a shift towards improving welfare support systems.
The ongoing discussion focuses on the implementation of work requirements and time limits in public housing, with fewer than 140 of 3,300 housing authorities currently capable of imposing such rules.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner and other department heads advocate for reforms requiring able-bodied adults to work while acknowledging limited effectiveness under current welfare programs.
