Eligibility and Enrollment in the Housing Allowance Program: Brown and St. Joseph Counties Through Year 2

This historic working note describes conditions for eligibility in HUD’s Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE) and compares the eligible population with the enrolled population in Brown County, Wisconsin and St. Joseph County, Indiana, as of the second year of the demonstration. Additionally, the authors analyze turnover and termination among participants. HASE was the second component of the three-part Experimental Housing Allowance Program, which tested the feasibility and desirability of a national program of direct housing assistance to low-income households.
