Low-Income Housing Assistance Switches from Production to Vouchers
The traditional federal approach to housing assistance from the Depression through the 1970s was to subsidize the construction of new units for occupancy by low-income families. A competing approach, however, had been advocated by some since the 1930s and had gathered considerable support by the time HUD was created: Consumer vouchers could enable low-income families to afford housing selected from among dwellings provided by the private market. HUD's Rent Supplement Program and the Section 23 leased housing program under the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 set partial precedents for the voucher approach. The idea was extensively tested in the HUD-sponsored Experimental Housing Allowance Program (Bendick 1982; Struyk and Bendick 1981) and became operational in 1974 as the Existing Housing component of the Section 8 program.
