DC Guaranteed Income Coalition 2024-25 Platform
2. Strengthen benefits protection
The DC Council has already acted to protect guaranteed income recipients from the loss of many benefits through the EITC Expansion Clarification Amendment Act of 2022. However, the Act did not address housing benefits.
We also demand that the DC Housing Authority write a guaranteed income exclusion into their Moving to Workplan, so that housing benefits can be protected. We do not expect these changes would have a significant cost to the District of Columbia.
