Today's system for providing housing assistance to low-income families is comprised of programs that fall into three main categories:
- Rental housing assistance;
- Federal assistance to State and local governments; and
- Homeownership assistance.
Rental assistance is provided primarily through rent vouchers that families can use in the private market, below-market rental units owned by Public Housing Authorities or private landlords under contract with the federal government, and, to a limited extent, construction of new below-market rental units.
To learn more about the federal government’s role in housing, you can visit the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s website.
