Summary
The bill changes the 1937 Housing Act so that if a family receiving a tenant‑based voucher moves to a new location outside the agency’s jurisdiction, the agency must continue the voucher payments. The only exception is if the rental cost in the new area is more than 10 % higher than the cost in the original area. This aims to protect voucher holders from losing assistance when they relocate.
