Adopted rule summary:

HRA is adopting amendments to the CityFHEPS rules as follows:
- Eliminate the 90-day length of stay requirement for single adults and families.
- Reduce the number of hours that families are required to work to become eligible for CityFHEPS from 14 to 10 hours per week, and implement a 10 hour per week work requirement for single adults. This change will create uniformity across populations in shelter.
- For households moving out of shelter into permanent housing, require that the household must not have resided in the residence to which they are moving at any point during the prior year.
