Tenant-based vouchers
Tenant-based vouchers are financial assistance programs that help low-income individuals or families afford housing. The government provides these vouchers to eligible households, who can then use them to rent any suitable rental property in the community, not just specific units. The voucher amount covers a portion of the rent, with the recipient paying the remainder. This system offers flexibility, allowing recipients to choose where they want to live while easing the financial burden of housing costs. The program promotes residential mobility and access to better neighborhoods for those with limited income.
