housing vouchers
Subsidized tenancy certificates
Housing vouchers are government subsidies that help low-income families, the elderly, and disabled individuals afford private rental housing.
The voucher covers a portion of rent, with the tenant paying the difference.
In the U.S., Section 8 is the main federal program: She's on the waiting list for a housing voucher.
Recipients choose their own housing, provided it meets program standards.
