Housing Assistance

Housing Assistance is a form of social welfare provision that specifically aims to alleviate housing cost burdens for low-income individuals and families by providing direct financial subsidies, vouchers, or subsidized housing units, thereby distinguishing it from other income support or poverty alleviation mechanisms that do not target housing affordability.
