Allow housing vouchers to pay for transitional housing

Liccardo supports changing federal law so housing choice vouchers can be used in transitional housing. He would require participating facilities to meet basic standards, including utilities, private bathrooms, and lockable bedrooms. The change is intended to let voucher holders move off the street while they seek permanent housing and help cities sustain or create more low-barrier transitional housing.

Context: The proposal applies to transitional facilities that meet basic standards; the passage does not specify a legislative vehicle or implementation timeline.

In their own words

Under the existing statute, public agencies can’t use a voucher for transitional housing.
