Reduces rent in public housing for police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians.
The Public Housing Rent Reduction for First Responders Act amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to lower rent for public housing units occupied by police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians. These first responders will pay the highest of 15% of their monthly adjusted income or 5% of their monthly income, rounded to the nearest dollar. The bill defines "police officer," "firefighter," and "emergency medical technician" based on full-time employment by specified government entities.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
