Description

In 2014, the federal government provided about $50 billion in housing assistance specifically designated for low-income households, made available both through spending programs and preferential tax treatment. That assistance increased by about 15% in real (inflation-adjusted) terms between 2000 and 2003, and has remained relatively stable at about $50 billion annually (in 2014 dollars). However, means-tested housing assistance has not been made available to all applicants who are eligible. This report discusses the ways in which the federal government provides housing assistance to low-income households, examines how that assistance has changed since 2000, and provides information about the households that receive assistance. It also assesses policy options for altering that assistance. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
