Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two contrasting methods of subsidizing existing housing are "housing allowances," which rely on the discipline of the market to control price increases, and "Section 8 assistance," which uses institutional regulations to control them. Contrary to preprogram predictions, evidence from actual program operations shows that the market outperforms regulation. Housing allowances cause a 2 percent increase, while Section 8 assistance causes a 26 percent increase, in the price of participants' housing. The Section 8 price increases mean that a substantial portion of the federal subsidy is diverted from participants to their landlords. To prevent that diversion, the Section 8 rules could be revised as follows: structure the subsidy so tenants pay the marginal rent dollar; pay the subsidy directly to tenants so they know they pay the marginal rent dollar; and remove the rent ceiling so it can no longer act as a rent target.

Book Synopsis Price Effects of a Housing Allowance Program by : C. Peter Rydell
Download or read book Price Effects of a Housing Allowance Program written by C. Peter Rydell and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) was undertaken primarily to demonstrate how a full-scale housing allowance program would affect local housing markets; in particular, how it would affect the price of housing services. If program-induced price increases were large, they would disrupt the housing market and divert program subsidies from their intended recipients. In the outcome, however, price effects caused by the experimental program were so small as to be negligible. Section II examines the changes in the price of rental housing services that occurred in the experimental sites during the first three years of the allowance program. Section III determines that the allowance program had such a small effect on housing prices because it caused only a modest increase in housing demand and because housing supply responds to demand shifts with surprising ease. Section IV assesses the generalizability of the price effects found in the HASE sites, and discusses ways in which the results improve the understanding of housing-market behavior.

Book Synopsis Price Elasticities of Housing Supply by : C. Peter Rydell
Download or read book Price Elasticities of Housing Supply written by C. Peter Rydell and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes the price elasticity of the supply of rental housing services, defined as the percentage increase in supply associated with a one percent increase in price. The purpose of the report is to predict the price changes associated with supply responses to shifts in demand. Section II analyzes each component of supply response separately. It presents price elasticities for the repair, inventory, and occupancy responses to demand shifts. It reviews the literature on all three and offers new estimates for the second and third (the estimates are based on the analysis of Annual Housing Survey data from the U.S. Census Bureau reported in Appendix B). Section III combines the three individual supply elasticities into a composite elasticity. It accomplishes the integration using a model of housing-market responses to demand shifts presented in Appendix C. The model was built during the Housing Assistance Supply Experiment to explain the housing market's response to demand shifts caused by an experimental housing allowance program.
Book Synopsis The Economics of Housing Vouchers by : Joseph H. Friedman
Download or read book The Economics of Housing Vouchers written by Joseph H. Friedman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economics of Housing Vouchers is a seven-chapter text that examines the housing choices of low-income families in two metropolitan areas, namely, Phoenix and Pittsburgh. Some of these households are offered a novel kind of housing subsidy, including a housing allowance or housing voucher, in an experimental framework designed to test this approach to demand-side housing assistance. Chapter 1 presents an overview of U.S. housing programs and the dimensions of the U.S. housing problem. Chapter 2 provides a simple microeconomic model that conceptualizes household behavior, as well as a summary of some of the extant evidence on housing demand. This chapter also estimates the housing demand models for the low-income population in the Demand Experiment, using housing expenditures to measure housing. Chapter 3 applies a hedonic index of housing services that abstracts from particular characteristics of the household or landlord that may affect rent and attempts to measure housing in a more objective manner. Chapter 4 describes a model of household behavior that leads to the methodology for estimating experimental effects. Chapter 5 repeats the analysis for Minimum Rent households, while Chapter 6 examines the effect of both kinds of Housing Gap allowance payment on the consumption of housing services. Lastly, Chapter 7 focuses on the implications of the experimental findings for housing policy. This chapter compares a housing allowance strategy with two other approaches, namely, a pure income-transfer approach and a construction-oriented approach. This book is of value to workers in housing policy, including economists, regional and other social scientists in academia, housing analysts, the Congress, housing lobby groups, and state and local government housing officials.

Book Synopsis Evaluation of Alternative Housing Programs by : C. Peter Rydell
Download or read book Evaluation of Alternative Housing Programs written by C. Peter Rydell and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper evaluates six housing programs: two supply-subsidy programs (cost reduction and public housing), two recent-regulation programs (Section 8 existing, housing assistance and rent control), and two demand-subsidy programs (housing allowances and unrestricted cash grants). It compares the ability of those programs to (a) improve housing in general, (b) reduce poverty, and (c) improve low-income housing in particular. Different programs do best on each objective. Giving money to housing (cost reduction) does best on the housing-improvement objective. Giving money to poor people (unrestricted cash grants) does best on the anti-poverty objective. Giving money to poor people and earmarking it for housing (housing allowances) does best on the low-income housing objective.

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.
