Make vouchers more flexible for tenants and landlords

Liccardo proposes giving voucher holders more time to find housing in tight markets and allowing vouchers to cover security deposits. He also supports provisional approval of rental units when inspections are delayed beyond a couple of weeks, and greater flexibility in rent caps so tenants have more opportunity to move to safer neighborhoods with better schools and resources. These changes aim to make vouchers easier to use and more attractive to landlords.

Context: The passage gives an example of provisional approval when inspection delays exceed a couple of weeks but does not specify the proposed rules for other flexibility measures.

In their own words

loosening the “use-it-or-lose-it” mandates to provide them more time to find apartments in tight housing markets
