          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Choice in Affordable Housing Act of 2023&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; This bill establishes programs and grants to incentivize landlord participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program (i.e., Section 8 tenant-based housing assistance). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill authorizes the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide one-time incentive payments to landlords, security deposit payments, bonuses to public housing agencies that employ landlord liaisons, and amounts for other recruitment purposes. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also reauthorizes through FY2028 the Tribal Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the bill allows dwelling units to meet Housing Choice Voucher program inspection requirements by satisfactory inspection through participation in other housing programs. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Landlords not yet participating in a low-income housing assistance program may request inspection by a public housing agency to determine whether the dwelling meets requirements prior to selection by a tenant. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, HUD must expand the use of an alternative method of calculating fair market rent for purposes of the Housing Choice Voucher program.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
