AAB-11-001 is a bill that recognizes the federal government's failure to provide sufficient funding to public housing around the nation. Because of this, the bill removes the responsibility of public housing from the federal government and hands it over to the state governments. This is just the funding of housing, the department of housing and urban development will still be in charge of creating guidelines and regulations for health and safety that will be enforced by the federal government.

AAB-11-001:

*Federal funding for housing will cease five years after the passing of this bill.

*States will be in charge of funding for housing projects.

-The department of housing and urban development will work with each state to decide the public housing policy of each state such as who gets public housing and at what rate they pay.

-Safety and health regulations will be determined by the department of housing and urban development and must be enforced by every state.

*Within each state, the state government will create contracts with private businesses for the construction, security, maintenance, and insurance of housing.

-These contracts will be set for four years at a time and private businesses will have to compete in price and quality to get the contract.

-This contract will give the private business the funding to construct and manage public housing.
