President Obama’s FY 2010 budget contains proposals to preserve and increase the amount of affordable housing available. This budget increases the utilization of tax monies to fund poorly-run HUD programs such as Project-Based Rental Assistance where good tenants become silenced or victimized by unethical property managers over and over again. Should the tenant move to escape victimization, the Rental Assistance ends; it stays with the project. So who does this type of assistance really help?
Project-based rental assistance programs are more likely to benefit corporate partners who contribute to political campaigns. Because HUD and housing authorities are negligent in enforcing rules and regulations, too many multi-family housing complexes have a prison-like atmosphere. As it stands, tax dollars will continue to preserve crime and violence for more substandard subsidized housing.
