Federal rental assistance ([link removed]) sharply reduces homelessness and lifts 3 million people out of poverty. It can also substantially improve adults’ health and children’s chances for long-term success.
Despite the success of rental assistance ([link removed]) , roughly 16 million low-income households that need rental assistance do not receive it due to funding limitations.
If rental assistance was expanded, fewer people would live in shelters, motels, on the street, or doubled up in unstable arrangements; fewer families, seniors, and people with disabilities would have to choose each month between paying the rent and buying needed medicine or food; and more children would have access to stable housing.
Taken together, these benefits could substantially reduce low-income Americans’ exposure to hardship ([link removed]) and improve their children’s chances of long-term success.
