More for Section 8 mavens
A study of the Section 8 Mark-to-Market program just appeared at HUDCLIPS. It's a meaty HUD-commissioned effort by Abt Associates and Econometrica, Inc. -- a 280-page free PDF download including a history of the restructuring process since 1996. Also lots of case studies. Maybe worth a look.
Meanwhile three big housing industry associations released a statement today expressing distinct unhappiness with the Section 8 renewal funding provisions (or lack thereof) in the proposed State and Local Housing Flexibility Act, q.v. below. Basically they're tired of surprises. They want to see housing subsidies paid according to a steady formula.
[UPDATE May 12 '05: The Urban Institute's view is that the bill hurts the "housing choice" possibilities for poor families that were a big reason to create the voucher program in the first place.]
