Extractions: Welfare Reform...How it Effects Housing Credit Properties By Ellen C. Watson, HCCP On August 22, 1996 President Clinton signed into law H.R. 3734 - the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 ("the Act"). The enactment of this law not only made fundamental changes in the administration of the nation's welfare system, but also greatly impacted families involved in Affordable Housing Programs. The Act converts the Aid to Families with Dependent Children ("AFDC"), emergency assistance and work programs into a single grant called the Temporary Assistance for the Needy Families ("TANF") grant. In 1997 and 1998, states were projected to receive more federal funding through the TANF grant than they would have received under prior law (AFDC). However, by 1999 federal funding is projected to fall short of what would have been provided under prior law. Fiscal Year 1997 was a transition year, with many states ending welfare programs under AFDC and JOBS rules and beginning TANF programs. Since the focus of the new law is to move welfare parents into work, many states have changed their welfare programs to help parents get into jobs immediately. Some states have even transformed cash assistance into work based assistance whereby employment is a prerequisite for receiving any welfare benefits. The Act abolishes the AFDC program and replaces it with the TANF program. In turn, it abolishes the $50 pass-through requirement leaving each state the option to continue, expand, or eliminate it. The only stipulation on this option effects those states who enacted the pass-through into state law or regulation they are required to continue the benefit until the respective regulation or state law is amended.

After months of wrangling, and three attempts, the 104th Congress finally sent a Welfare Reform package that survived the President's veto. The reason for the three rounds: Republican bills sent to President Clinton were frowned upon as "extremist" by the White House. A version acceptable to the President was finally signed in August, and went into effect October 1. A new era in federal entitlement assistance arrived, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children as we knew it was gone.

Extractions: Topic: Federal housing issues The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities released a study titled the "Increasing Use of TANF and State Matching Funds to Provide Housing Assistance to Families Moving from Welfare to Work." The study reviews the growing body of evidence which suggests that housing assistance may advance welfare reform objectives. It describes the shortage of low-cost rental housing that has made it difficult for low-income working families in many areas to find housing that does not consume excessive portions of their income. The study also explores some of the key issues involved in designing and funding housing assistance programs targeted on families attempting to navigate the transition from welfare to work. http://www.cbpp.org/2-17-00hous.pdf

Sen. Kerry Bill
John Kerry introduces a welfare reform bill specifically focused on housing. Summaryof the welfare reform and housing Act Introduced by Senator John F. Kerry.
http://www.nationalhomeless.org/kerry.html

Extractions: Introduced by Senator John F. Kerry Make it simpler for states to use TANF funds to provide supplemental rental assistance by considering these housing subsidies non-assistance. Nine states and several counties in two additional states have committed TANF and/or maintenance-of-effort funds to provide ongoing housing assistance. Many of these jurisdictions were unable to implement the types of housing assistance programs they wanted to provide to working families due to the constraints posed by current HHS rules that consider any TANF-funded housing subsidy provided for more than four months as assistance, even if families are working and not receiving TANF cash benefits. Encourage states to consider housing needs in TANF planning and implementation. There is a growing body of evidence that families' housing status affects employment and other welfare reform goals. Increasingly, states are becoming aware of the barriers posed by lack of affordable housing to families remaining employed. This provision will require state plans to describe the primary problems that families leaving TANF experience in securing and retaining adequate, affordable housing and the estimated extent of each such problem, including but not limited to the price of such housing in various parts of the state that include a large proportion of TANF recipients, and the steps that have been and will be taken by the state and other public or private entities that administer housing programs to address these needs.
