The Choice in Affordable Housing Act of 2025 aims to increase private landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program—which helps low-income renters afford housing—by offering financial incentives to property owners. The bill provides up to 200% of monthly rent as one-time payments to landlords who newly participate, particularly in low-poverty neighborhoods, along with security deposit assistance and bonus payments to housing agencies that hire staff to recruit landlords. A new $100 million annual fund (running through 2029) will finance these incentive programs. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development must report to Congress each year for five years on whether the bill successfully expands landlord participation, with particular attention to accessible units and housing in high-opportunity areas with poverty rates below 20 percent.
