Affordable housing options for low-income households are inadequate, public housing and subsidized housing programs are being cut, and Housing Choice Vouchers continue to be underfunded by the federal government. This advocate's guide outlines the methods for obtaining and utilizing housing vouchers, payment standards, moving with a voucher, and resident participation. Stable housing promotes economic stability and social welfare in local communities. Local elected officials can learn more about existing programs in the resources provided and should advocate with their legislators for increased federal housing support.
