The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers several rental assistance programs that help low-income households afford their rental units, aiding demographics such as seniors, people with disabilities, and veterans. These programs include the Public Housing (PH), Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and project-based rental assistance (PBRA) programs. Altogether, HUD’s rental assistance programs provide housing for over 4.6 million households or about 10.5 percent of U.S. renter households.
