Abstract:

If the Senate is to introduce fiscal responsibility into HUD's housing assistance programs when it goes to conference with the $25 billion House bill, it must reduce the size of its housing authorization and modify its voucher program in the manner suggested. The present version of the housing voucher program threatens to replicate the sorry budgetary history of food stamps.
