The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 requires that all non-exempt Public Housing adult residents (18 years of age and older) contribute eight (8) hours per month of community service (volunteer work) or participate in eight (8) hours of training, counseling, classes and other activities which help an individual toward self-sufficiency and economic independence. This is a requirement of the Public Housing Lease. It is a part of the Public Housing Reform act as well.
