So has no one that is commenting on this news story actually bothered to read it?   I cannot believe how people are commenting without first digesting what the story actually says.

The new revised MUPTE program assumes that the person has our area's MEDIAN salary, which is $39,233 a year, and that they can afford to pay 30% of that, or $11,770, for rent.   That is well above minimum wage.

So this program is not designed to help the poor.   It is meant to help the average worker in our area.
