Impact
The Rent Relief Act (S. 1106, H.R. 2169) would make housing more affordable, and thus reduce homelessness, by reducing the rent burden on ordinary Americans through the establishment of refundable tax credits for individuals who pay rent for a principal residence that exceeds 30% of their gross income for the taxable year.
Summary
No action has been taken on S. 1106/H.R. 2169. The Alliance asks activists to urge their Senators to cosponsor S. 1106 and their Representatives to cosponsor H.R. 2169.
