welfare housing

Government-funded residences

Housing subsidized by government programs for low-income residents.

The term encompasses public housing projects owned by government agencies and voucher programs that help tenants afford private rentals.

The city demolished the old welfare housing and replaced it with mixed-income developments.

Often carries connotations of poverty and social problems associated with concentrated low-income communities.
