Amid an ongoing influx of approximately 1,000 new residents daily, a report published this month by the Florida Policy Project (FPP) calls for expansions and enhancements to housing voucher programs as a solution to affordable housing scarcity.
The report urges lawmakers to optimize housing voucher programs, which assist low-income families in affording rent in the private market. Despite their potential, the publication states that the implementation has been hindered by insufficient funding, complex administrative processes, and limited landlord participation.
