Subsidized Affordable Housing and the HUD 223(f) Loan Program

Using HUD’s subsidized affordable housing programs, tenants receive rent assistance for housing, but must pay at least 30% of their income towards housing costs (rent and utilities). Some examples include Section 8 Public Housing, HOPWA Facility-Based Housing, and Homeless Project-Based Units. Properties financed with HUD 223(f) loans are eligible for the Section 8 program, and, if they are already part of a HUD legacy program, such as the rent supplement, rental assistance payment, or Section 8 moderate rehabilitation programs, they can also qualify for the HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. This can assist property owners in the process of making long-term improvements to their properties.

What are the benefits of subsidized affordable housing?

Subsidized affordable housing offers many benefits to both landlords and tenants. For landlords, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) agrees to cover any difference between a contracted, subsidized rental rate and what a resident can pay through the use of HAP contracts. This means that, even if a resident becomes unemployed, the government will cover the rent. Additionally, investing in affordable housing can bring a net social good to a city, such as increased job opportunities, reduced homelessness, and increased consumer spending.
