ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: D
Although these programs are intended to alleviate housing problems for low-income renters, the demand for these assisted housing programs has far exceeded the supply. Section 8 housing does not provide direct access to an apartment in a public housing facility or provide payment directly from the program to apartment owners. Section 8 housing provides affordable housing through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and is not slum housing.
