The Project Homecoming Amendment Act of 2025 aims to establish a comprehensive reentry housing program for individuals returning from incarceration in the District of Columbia. This initiative will provide stable housing and support services to help these individuals reintegrate into society successfully. The program will connect returning citizens with family, friends, or vetted independent homeowners, offering direct rental stipends of $1,500 per month, along with access to wraparound services such as counseling, job training, and financial literacy support. The legislation emphasizes the importance of stable housing in reducing recidivism and promoting community safety.

To facilitate the program, the bill introduces new definitions and requirements, including the establishment of a structured rental agreement between eligible households and program participants. It mandates training for hosts to ensure they are equipped to provide a supportive environment and outlines clear expectations and dispute resolution mechanisms. The Commission on Reentry and Returning Citizen Affairs will oversee the program's implementation and compliance, ensuring accountability and monitoring outcomes related to housing stability, employment, and recidivism reduction.
