Abstract
Research has shown that rental assistance is a powerful tool for addressing housing cost burden, instability, and other housing and non-housing outcomes. Rental subsidies can also be leveraged to increase housing supply and quality. Despite these realities, we have functioned within a solutions framework that is often constrained by funding, and most changes to the program have been slight adjustments to current federal approaches. In this paper, we offer an assessment of what is known about rental assistance and thoughts on ways to improve and expand it.
