voucher program
Funded choice initiative
A voucher program is a system where the government issues certificates that can be redeemed for specific goods or services from approved providers.
Most commonly refers to school voucher programs, which give families public funds to pay for private school tuition: The state's voucher program lets parents choose religious schools.
Housing voucher programs subsidize rent for low-income tenants.
The concept is politically contentious—supporters emphasize choice and competition, critics worry about draining resources from public institutions.
