The Rapid Re-Housing Reform Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Homeless Services Reform Act of 2005 by implementing several key reforms to the Rapid Re-Housing Program. The bill stipulates that individuals and families participating in the program will not pay more than 30% of their income toward rent. Additionally, it mandates that the Mayor assess participants for eligibility for permanent housing vouchers within six months of their eligibility determination. The bill also makes case management services optional for participants and establishes specific eligibility and prioritization criteria for Targeted Affordable Housing vouchers.

Key changes include the introduction of a new definition for "targeted affordable housing," which provides rental assistance for an unrestricted period to help individuals or families experiencing homelessness. The bill outlines a prioritization system for those eligible for targeted affordable housing, focusing first on individuals or families exiting the Rapid Re-Housing program who cannot afford market-rate rent. Furthermore, the bill allows for the documentation of requests for targeted affordable housing and ensures that individuals have the opportunity to appeal adverse decisions regarding their eligibility.
