Becca Morris's journey highlights the complexities of federal housing subsidies, particularly as she benefits from a time-limited rental aid program in Delaware. After experiencing significant life challenges, Morris found a pathway to stability with the subsidy, though it comes with an expiration. The Delaware State Housing Authority has the ability to impose time limits, a method HUD is considering expanding across more regions. However, experts suggest that connecting subsidies to work requirements lacks a solid foundation in evidence supporting better employment outcomes and poses risks to many vulnerable individuals as rent prices soar.
The Delaware State Housing Authority is among a few local housing authorities imposing time limits on rental aid, pushing recipients towards self-sufficiency.
Experts argue that there is little evidence to support claims that time limits or work requirements effectively boost employment or assist individuals in becoming self-sufficient.
