- The bill would create the “People’s Housing Assistance Fund Demonstration Program, administered by the Department of Human Services” and would “provide 12 monthly payments of $1,000 to individuals who are experiencing homelessness, are at risk of homelessness, are severely rent burdened or earn at or below 60 percent of area median income.”
