Subsidized housing

Subsidized housing refers to affordable living accommodations provided to low- and moderate-income individuals or families, aiming to reduce their housing costs. This support typically comes from government programs that offer financial assistance, such as rent vouchers or reduced rent, enabling tenants to pay a smaller portion of their income toward housing. By making housing more affordable, subsidized housing helps alleviate financial stress and promotes stability for those in need, contributing to healthier communities and improving access to essential services.
