Summary

This bill authorizes $2 billion in funding for rental assistance vouchers targeted at public housing agencies serving high-growth population areas. The funds are distributed to housing agencies in the 25 U.S. metropolitan areas that experienced the highest population growth between 2012 and 2022, limited to areas with populations exceeding 100,000. Distribution takes into account population size, the gap between current voucher allocations and actual housing affordability needs, and historical shortfalls from voucher formulas that did not keep pace with population growth. The appropriated funds are available for renewal in each fiscal year thereafter until expended, providing ongoing support for rental assistance in these rapidly growing regions.
