Section 8 program eyed as affordable housing option
The federal government will subsidize 552 Frederick County families under Section 8 this year, letting them choose where to live and pay about 30 percent of rent. Administered by three local agencies, vouchers may be used across jurisdictions while certificates are area restricted. Landlords vary in acceptance, with subsidies often higher than local rents. Critics call it welfare for the wealthy, while officials note rents align closely with market rates and tenants may receive utility allowances. A Congressional bill proposes changes to the program.
