	Subsidized Housing (Gotham Gazette. March, 2006)
		Housing refers to all dwellings in NYC - from luxury condos with views of the Park to battered in-rem apartments in the South Bronx - and the laws and policy disputes that they produce.
		Tenants in federally-funded housing developments (mostly "section 8" housing) are 45 percent fl and 33 percent Latino, with a median household income of $12,000 a year.
		Tenants of Mitchell-Lama housing (a program established by the state in 1955 to encourage low- and moderate-income housing by offering developers low-interest mortgages and tax abatements) are 44 percent fl and 20 percent Latino.

	Subsidized Housing
		The city's largest philanthropic housing developments are the Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments, at 47th and Michigan, and the Marshall Field Garden Apartments in Old Town, both built in 1929 and both modeled after the Dunbar Apartments built by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in 1926 in New York City's Harlem.
		This housing met with mixed success, but as the mortgages were paid off toward the end of the twentieth century, some of the buildings were converted to market-rate housing.
		The city's efforts to provide housing assistance have been channeled into various programs to aid organizations or developers in constructing new or rehabilitated single-room occupancy housing for potentially homeless people and programs to assist middle-income first-time home buyers.

	The Effects of Subsidized Housing on Communities
		Regional affordable housing planning in California is hampered by the lack of an enforcement mechanism and the dispersal potential of the New Jersey fair share program is significantly compromised by a program rule that allows wealthier communities to buy out of their obligation to provide affordable housing.
		Because subsidized housing is highly race-identified, attitudes and reactions toward its introduction in neighborhoods are highly connected to prevailing racial attitudes and relations.
		Initially, the placement of subsidized housing was so concentrated that units in place by 1970 contributed to subsequent racial change in their respective tracts overwhelmingly through the process of the projects changing racial composition, not by altering the residential choices of actual or prospective white residents.

	Compass Measure - Federally Subsidized Housing
		In Larimer County, as in the rest of the country, there is public housing and subsidized housing (generally through a 'Section 8' program).
		Housing is subsidized when the government pays part of the tenant's rent or mortgage.
		While subsidized housing involves a monetary assistance with paying rent, the term affordable housing is used to describe housing that has been developed or purchased in a manner which allows rental costs or mortgage payments to stay at a lower amount.

	Subsidized Housing and LIHEAP - LIHEAP Clearinghouse
		House Bill 3321 provided state and tribal grantees greater flexibility in handling subsidized housing clients who pay their energy costs directly.
		According to a summary of the House Bill 3321 by the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC), it was intended to remedy situations where states interpreted Section 927 to mean they had to provide large LIHEAP grants to subsidized housing tenants whose utility allowances are adequate or nearly adequate to cover their out-of-pocket energy costs.
		About 22 percent of public housing and 23 percent of section 8 households had rent burdens that were less than 30 percent of their income, leading GAO to point out that in cases where allowances were substantially higher than utility expenses, the government was over-subsidizing the household.

	Vermont Housing Finance Agency (VHFA) > Act 68 subsidized rental housing certification
		Because of the importance of affordable housing to Vermont, the law does allow certain subsidized housing properties to reduce their assessment so that the effective tax burden is closer to those of properties with the homestead (residential rate).
		Depending on the ratio of subsidized units to total units on the land parcel this could mean a reduction of up to 10 percent of a building's assessed value and may have the effect of reducing the tax burden of the project.
		Housing owners, if they believe any of their properties may be eligible for this tax break, must apply to VHFA to receive a certification form that can be taken to the local town clerk for a re-calculation of the property tax.

	We Don’t Need Subsidized Housing by Howard Husock, City Journal Winter 1997
		For housing subsidies undermine the efforts of those poor families who work and sacrifice to advance their lot in life—and who have the right and the need to distinguish themselves, both physically and psychologically, from those who do not share their solid virtues.
		Housing subsidies—whether in the form of subsidized apartments or even vouchers that you can take to a landlord of your choice—turn this system on its head and undermine it, for housing subsidies do not reward achievement; they reward need.
		For those whose lack of housing is really a symptom of larger problems—the alcoholic, the drug addict, the teenage mother who cannot afford her own household—we can look to institutional ways, such as group homes, to deliver the combination of shelter, guidance, and treatment they need.

	Subsidized Rental Housing
		Affordable senior housing, like its occupants, is undergoing an "aging process." Most of it was developed through private/public partnerships more than two decades ago and much of the stock is itself in need of updating and repair.
		These include: prepayment of existing Section 202 loans; the use of 501(c)(3) bonds, private activity bonds, and low-income housing tax credits to revitalize this stock; the possible curtailment of debt in Section 202 properties; and policy recommendations to facilitate the conversion of existing subsidized housing serving primarily the elderly to assisted living facilities.
		Some subsidized housing owners are already converting their facilities to assisted living sites to accommodate the changing needs of their tenant profile.

		The higher contract rent and lower vacancy for the subsidized rent project results in a value via the income approach that is 23% higher than the value indicated by the market rent project.
