A unit rented to a voucher holder counts as affordable housing
What the document says“``(A) the unit is occupied by a tenant receiving tenant-based rental assistance under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f); ``(B) the contribution of the tenant toward rent does not exceed the amount permitted under the assistance described in subparagraph (A); and”
The section adds a new paragraph (7) to section 215(a) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act providing that a rental unit qualifies as affordable housing where it is lived in by a tenant with a section 8 voucher, the tenant's share of the rent is no more than the voucher program allows, and the total rent is no more than the public housing agency has approved.
What the document actually says“``(A) the unit is occupied by a tenant receiving tenant-based rental assistance under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f); ``(B) the contribution of the tenant toward rent does not exceed the amount permitted under the assistance described in subparagraph (A); and”
The home is lived in by a tenant with a voucher. The tenant's share of the rent is within what the voucher allows.
A voucher pays part of a tenant's rent. The rest is the tenant's share. If both tests hold, the home counts as affordable here.
