The Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program Protection Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Homeless Services Reform Act by establishing new criteria for extending participation in the Family Re-Housing Stabilization Program (FRSP). The bill requires the Department of Human Services or its designee to consider the totality of a participant's circumstances when evaluating requests for assistance beyond the standard 12-month period. Specifically, it stipulates that extensions can be granted if the participant has made a good faith effort towards their individualized plan, has not yet secured permanent affordable housing, and has formally requested an extension in writing.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for determining extensions, mandating that the Department conduct formal reviews every three months and grant extensions in increments of no more than six months. If an extension request is denied, participants must receive a written notice 30 days prior to the final subsidy payment, detailing the reasons for the denial and informing them of their right to appeal the decision. This amendment is set to take effect on July 10, 2025, and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days following approval by the Mayor or the Council.
