However, observers believe reform will be tricky. I know of no liberals or even conservatives discussing rent subsidy time limits, even though they should. Housing assistance makes up the bulk of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's budget. It falls into two general categories. Public housing serves 1.25 million households, but many units are old and HUD has razed tens of thousands of decaying buildings.
Payments go to either landlords or families.
They propose tying restrictions in rental aid to work requirements, which would reduce rent subsidies without creating homelessness.
