The current policy, from section 4.3.2.2 of the NPRM states:

For end-users who demonstrate an intent to announce the requested space
in a multihomed fashion, the minimum block of IP address space assigned
is a /22.

The previous text required applicants to already be multi-homed; the  
policy proposal that changed the text (policy proposal 2005-7) was  
recommended to the board after the October ARIN meeting, and I  
believe the change was adopted into the NPRM in February.

Hope this answers your question,
