The Trump administration is considering adding new work requirements and increasing rent for people living in subsidized housing, according to NBC News (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-may-push-work-requirements-federal-housing-assistance-n845171?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma).
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would allow public housing authorities and private owners to require each adult in a household to work up to an average of 32 hours a week.
The elderly and disabled — who make up 55 percent of those receiving federal housing aid — would be exempt from the requirements. Another 26 percent of those receiving assistance are already working, NBC News reported Tuesday.
Education and vocational training could count toward those hours, but volunteer service would not, according to a copy of the draft proposal obtained by NBC.
The Intercept first reported about the draft proposal earlier this month.
