The duration of the pilot program for debit cards is determined by data monitoring and the usage by 500 households.

  • Molly Schaeffer states the plan to work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
  • The team will examine data on how the families use the program to make decisions.
  • The initial pilot includes 500 households.
  • Decisions regarding expansion or adjustments will be based on ongoing data analysis.
