The bill authorizes HUD to provide one-time incentive payments to landlords, security deposit payments, bonuses to public housing agencies that employ landlord liaisons, and amounts for other recruitment purposes. Additionally, the bill allows dwelling units to meet HCV program inspection requirements by satisfactory inspection through participation in other housing programs.
