This historical report was produced by the Office of Policy Development and Research to summarize the agency’s experience with the Experimental Housing Allowance program (EHAP). The report was intended for individuals interested in issues of national housing policies and does not go into detail regarding research methodologies or analysis to support the findings. The EHAP program was meant to provide evidence for how housing markets and low-income households respond to general assistance and housing allowances. The authors note that this report was produced before the EHAP program was completed.
