This bill directs the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to conduct a study examining how public housing agencies have implemented work requirements for residents receiving housing assistance. The study will focus on agencies participating in the Moving to Work demonstration program that have adopted work requirements as part of their operations. Researchers will evaluate both the benefits and challenges of these work requirements, looking at impacts on homelessness rates, poverty, earnings, job retention, and housing agencies' ability to manage their programs, using both numerical data and interviews with affected residents. The Secretary must submit initial findings to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. The study will only proceed if the Housing and Urban Development Secretary determines there are enough participating agencies to properly evaluate the policy's effects and that conducting the study won't harm low-income families currently receiving assistance.
