housing programs

Publicly funded and monitored programs designed to provide suitable homes, especially for those unable to find or pay for them themselves. In the United States, most of these programs are administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These programs include Low-Rent Public Housing, the Rent-Subsidy Program, Lower-Income Housing Assistance, Home Ownership Assistance for Low-Income Families, Rural Rental Housing Loans, Farm Labor Housing Loans, Indian Housing Improvement programs, and Housing Repair Assistance for Low-Income Families. In addition, the government sponsors a guaranteed mortgage loan program and housing assistance for veterans.
