💨 Abstract

Disruption looms for 1 million low-income households in the U.S. as the Trump administration proposes two-year time limits on housing assistance. This change affects working families with children but exempts the elderly and disabled. The policy aims to reduce dependency and promote self-sufficiency but has widely failed in pilot trials. It may lead to widespread evictions and increased homelessness. Critics argue this policy will harm children and burdens low-wage workers.
