The bill would allow the federal government to redirect unused money that was supposed to go toward helping low-income renters pay for housing to public housing agencies that don't have enough funding to assist renters in their areas. This would help housing agencies in communities with greater need get more resources to help people afford rent. The change would affect low-income renters and the local housing agencies that serve them.
