Trump administration planning to jack up the rent for low-income families

Holly Clancy, February 8, 2018

People in subsidized housing are joining people on Medicaid and food stamps on the Trump chopping block:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) would allow public housing authorities and private owners to require each adult in a household to work up to an average of 32 hours a week.

The elderly and disabled — who make up 55 percent of those receiving federal housing aid — would be exempt from the requirements. Another 26 percent of those receiving assistance are already working, NBC News reported Tuesday. […]

The proposal also recommends rent increases for those receiving the subsidies. Rental contributions would increase to 35 percent of tenants’ income, up from 30 percent. Recipients would also not be allowed to deduct medical and child-care costs from their incomes.

An average of 32 hours a week is a lot in an economy in which many low-wage employers are also part-time employers. At places like Walmart and McDonald’s, workers not only do not control how many hours a week, but they don’t control which hours they work, making it difficult to get a second job. How do you hold two jobs when your first job might give you 10 hours in a week and might give you 32, and those hours could happen at virtually any time of day or night on any day of the week?

And let’s talk about the fact that they’re simultaneously planning to require each adult to work up to 32 hours a week while saying childcare costs wouldn’t be deductible. As we so often have reason to say, family values party, my ass.
