B4: Housing Self-Sufficiency
Promote housing self sufficiency. Other Information:
This objective, together with Objective A.5, “Help HUD-assisted renters become homeowners,” reflects the Department’s intention
to maximize the role of public and assisted housing as a spring board to advance low-income families toward housing self-sufficiency
and homeownership. Recent research suggests that severe rent burdens are often temporary. As federal resources are limited,
it is critical to structure housing programs to help as many families as possible by promoting independence rather than long-term
dependence on housing assistance.
