Book excerpt: The Section 8 low-income housing program is really two programs: the voucher program and the project-based Section 8 program. Vouchers are portable subsidies that low-income families can use to lower their rents in the private market. Vouchers are administered at the local level by quasi-governmental public housing authorities (PHAs). Project-based Section 8 is a form of rental subsidy that is attached to a unit of privately owned housing. Low-income families who move into the housing pay a reduced rent, based on their incomes. The Section 8 program began in 1974, primarily as a project-based rental assistance program. However, by the mid-1980s, project-based assistance came under criticism for seeming too costly and concentrating poor families in highpoverty areas. Congress stopped providing new project-based Section 8 contracts in 1983. In their place, Congress created vouchers as a new form of assistance. Today, vouchers -- numbering over 2 million -- are the primary form of assistance provided under Section 8, although over 1 million units still receive project-based assistance under their original contracts or renewals of those contracts. Congressional interest in the Section 8 program has increased in recent years, particularly as the program costs have rapidly grown. In order to understand why costs are rising so quickly, it is important to first understand how the program works and its history. This report presents a brief overview of that history and introduces the reader to the program. For an expanded discussion of costs and funding in the Section 8 voucher program, see CRS Report RL31930, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Funding and Related Issues. This report will be updated as warranted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A half century after the Fair Housing Act, despite ongoing transformations of the geography of privilege and poverty, residential segregation by race and income continues to shape urban and suburban neighborhoods in the United States. Why do people live where they do? What explains segregation’s persistence? And why is addressing segregation so complicated? The Dream Revisited brings together a range of expert viewpoints on the causes and consequences of the nation’s separate and unequal living patterns. Leading scholars and practitioners, including civil rights advocates, affordable housing developers, elected officials, and fair housing lawyers, discuss the nature of and policy responses to residential segregation. Essays scrutinize the factors that sustain segregation, including persistent barriers to mobility and complex neighborhood preferences, and its consequences from health to home finance and from policing to politics. They debate how actively and in what ways the government should intervene in housing markets to foster integration. The book features timely analyses of issues such as school integration, mixed income housing, and responses to gentrification from a diversity of viewpoints. A probing examination of a deeply rooted problem, The Dream Revisited offers pressing insights into the changing face of urban inequality.

Section 8 Homeownership. HUD's Section 8 housing vouchers are normally used to subsidize the rental housing expenses of eligible recipients. However, HUD offers a way for Section 8 voucher recipients to have their homeownership expenses subsidized when they qualify to purchase homes. If you wish to purchase your first home but need help meeting the monthly mortgage and other homeownership expenses, there a program that will help you it is called the Homeownership Voucher Program. Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher eligibility is based on income, not assets. So, it is possible to own a house or other real estate and still qualify for Section 8. However, income for the purposes of determining Section 8 eligibility must include the income you earn from these assets. Although this program is primarily designed for working families, elderly and disabled persons and families also qualify. Current participants include single and two-parent families, grandparents and single individuals. The minimum income requirements for participation include a stable monthly income such as wages from full-time employment, Social Security or other pension benefits. The minimum annual income eligibility also varies by county. The family must be a HCR Section 8 participant for at least one year, and be a first-time home owner, or single-parent displaced homemaker.

Download or read book Study on Section 8 Voucher Success Rates written by Meryl Finkel and published by . This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) is the largest of the rental subsidy programs administered by HUD. In the HCVP, a family is offered a voucher, which it can use to rent any privately owned unit that meets program requirements. The HCVP "success rate" is the proportion of families issued a voucher who succeed in leasing a unit within the timeframe provided by the program. This volume examines success rates in metro areas. It finds that success rates vary with local market conditions. Importantly, success rates did not differ by such characteristics as the race, ethnicity, gender, or disability status of the head of household. This suggests that the voucher program works equally well for many different types of households. Illustrated.

Book excerpt: The largest federal program designed to provide affordable housing to lowincome families is the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, which serves over 2 million households. Section 8 vouchers are tenant-based subsidies that lowincome families use in the private market to lower their rental costs to 30% of their incomes. The modern program began in the early 1980s and has grown to replace public housing as the primary tool for subsidizing the housing costs of low-income families. Its creation and much of its history are characterized by support from both ends of the political spectrum -- for its use of the private market, on the one hand, and for its deep subsidies for the poorest families, on the other. Over the past several years, the program has come under fire for its rising cost. From 2001 to 2005, the cost of the program has increased by over 34%, although the number of people served has remained roughly the same. These cost increases can be attributed to a number of factors, not the least of which is the structure of the benefit. The value of a voucher is calculated as roughly the difference between rents in a community and 30% of participating households' incomes. In recent years, rents have been rising faster than incomes, which, along with federal policy changes designed to expand household choice and deconcentrate poverty, has driven up the cost of a voucher and therefore the cost of the program. In FY2005, the overall Section 8 program, at more than $20 billion, accounted for over half of the entire budget of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The voucher component alone constituted more than a third of HUD's budget. In order to provide that funding level while remaining within discretionary budget caps, congressional appropriators enacted funding cuts to almost all other HUD housing programs. To address the rising cost of the program, the Bush Administration proposed to enact a major reform of the Section 8 voucher program in both sessions of the 108th Congress, and an Administration-backed reform proposal has been introduced in the 109th Congress. The State and Local Housing Flexibility Act of 2005 was introduced in the Senate on April 13, 2005 (S. 771) and in the House on April 28, 2005 (H.R. 1999). The first title of the bill would replace the current Section 8 voucher program with a broader-purpose grant program, called the Flexible Voucher Program. It would eliminate most of the current program rules, devolve additional authority to the local level, and increase administrative ease for local public housing authorities (PHAs). This report, which will be updated, provides an introduction to the Section 8 voucher program, its funding, and current issues and proposals.
