The Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 was introduced to address the urgent need for continued support for participants in the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program. This resolution acknowledges the potential risk of families being exited from the program without securing permanent housing, thereby necessitating immediate legislative action to ensure their protection. The Council previously enacted the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Amendment Act of 2024 and the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Protection Temporary Amendment Act of 2024, both aimed at providing due process protections for families facing termination of housing assistance.
The current resolution seeks to extend these protections and maintain the status quo until further funding and circumstances allow for continued assistance. The Council has determined that the situation warrants emergency legislation, which will be adopted after a single reading to ensure swift action. The resolution is effective immediately, reflecting the urgency of the matter at hand.
