11. Housing And Welfare Reform Housing and Welfare Reform. By Barbara Sard and Jennifer Daskal. Although welfare and housing assistance systems are designed and administered separately http://www.nhi.org/online/issues/98/sard.html

March/April 1998 Housing and Welfare Reform By Barbara Sard and Jennifer Daskal Although welfare and housing assistance systems are designed and administered separately from each other, their beneficiaries overlap to a substantial degree. Especially in the wake of welfare reform, this intersection presents both opportunities and challenges for welfare recipients, tenants receiving federal housing assistance, housing and welfare advocates, and administrators of both welfare and housing programs. The sweeping changes in the 1996 welfare law-which replaced the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program with the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) block grant-reduce benefits for recipients and therefore threaten to reduce revenues for many housing authorities and assisted housing owners. According to HUD data, about one million, or nearly half, of HUD-assisted families with children received some income from AFDC/TANF in 1996. Of these approximately one million families, about 260,000 lived in public housing, 480,000 received tenant-based vouchers and certificates, and 250,000 lived in project-based Section 8 housing. In 1996, approximately one-quarter of all AFDC/TANF recipients lived in assisted housing, although this ratio varied significantly from state to state. The reason even more welfare families do not receive housing assistance is not, for the most part, that they have adequate affordable housing, but rather that the supply of housing assistance is so limited.

Many more TANF families are unassisted by housing subsidies but risk housing crises in the absence of sustained employment. Housing and welfare programs have historically had different goals, and evidence of effectively linking housing and other anti-poverty strategies is limited. Welfare reform could bring new opportunities to enhance natural linkages for at least three reasons. Second, several HUD-funded programs are explicitly aimed at promoting self-sufficiency, and preference and rent options in the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 could encourage PHAs to pursue those objectives aggressively. Other programs (e.g., Empowerment Zones, Community and Economic Development and Supportive Services Block Grants, and especially HOPE VI) can be used to access jobs and supportive services. Housing and community development programs themselves are major job generators, and recipients of most federal housing funds are mandated to hire low income residents from the area. In addition, new flexibility in final TANF regulations may allow TANF and state maintenance of effort dollars to be used to prevent homelessness and for related purposes, irrespective of cash assistance.

16. Welfare Reform - Housing Benefit Bill These proposals continue the housing benefit reform programme as set out in The housing Green Paper Quality and Choice A Decent home for All April 2000 http://www.commonsleader.gov.uk/output/Page984.asp

HOUSING BENEFIT BILL KEY MEASURES Enable introduction of a flat rate of housing support paid to tenants rather than landlords - the Local Housing Allowance - building on the work of the pilot local authorities already testing out this approach. Provide powers for local authorities to investigate and prosecute fraud against DWP administered benefits alongside benefits they administer. Enhance joined up working and remove certain barriers to claiming benefits. The reforms will make it easier for people to move into work, help speed up local authority administration of Housing Benefit, promote greater choice and responsibility for tenants, promote financial inclusion and help the fight against benefit fraud. TERRITORIAL EXTENT The Bill extends to England, Scotland and Wales but not Northern Ireland. There are minor exceptions where the Scottish systems are different (e.g. in relation to prosecution for fraud) and so those provisions do not apply to Scotland.

20. WELFARE REFORM IMPACTS ON THE PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM: A PRELIMINARY FORECAST Next is an assessment of how welfare reform will affect housing authority rent receipts and potential impact on HUD s PFS payments to housing authorities. http://www.huduser.org/publications/pubasst/welfare/intro.html

My Cart HUD Home HUD USER Home Search Advanced Search What's New Publications Periodicals ... Contact HUD USER Welfare Reform Impacts on the Public Housing Program: a Preliminary Forecast Title I, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, effectively ended the Aid To Families With Dependent Children program (AFDC) a long-standing entitlement to unconditional, long-term welfare assistance based only on the income eligibility of households with minor children. In its stead, households are now eligible for relatively short-term income assistance conditional on participation in work activities. In fact, even before TANF, some states obtained waivers to AFDC requirements and made the receipt of benefits conditional upon work participation; many of them have chosen to continue their waiver programs instead of shifting entirely to Federal rules under TANF. The effects of state and Federal welfare reform actions can have reverberating impacts on all programs that traditionally have taken welfare income into account. This includes all HUD multifamily programs that require beneficiaries to contribute a portion of their incomes for rent. In particular, it includes HUD's Public Housing program for which the near-term impacts of welfare reform could be significant for program beneficiaries, administering Public Housing Authorities (HAs), and the Federal government.
