9.1.9: Renters

Balance public policy to reflect the needs of Americans who choose to rent.

Other Information:

The federal government has a role in housing by enforcing non-discrimination laws and assisting low-income families and the elderly with safe and adequate shelter, especially through the use of housing vouchers. Homeownership is an important goal, but public policy must be balanced to reflect the needs of Americans who choose to rent.
