Prioritizing Families with Greatest Financial Need

Ms. Rausch, Messrs. Eldridge, Pacheco and Montigny, Ms. Jehlen, Ms. Chang-Diaz and Mr. Keenan move that the proposed new draft be amended in section 13, by striking out, in lines 248 and 249, the words “the department may consider length of time families wait to receive a subsidy” and inserting in place thereof the following words:- “a family below the federal poverty limit shall not have its priority status on a waitlist negatively impacted by a family with income above the federal poverty limit”.
