March 9th, 2017.

== Proposed programs ==
=== Universal voucher ===
e.g. as proposed in Matthew Desmond's ''Evicted. ''
<blockquote>
''In “Home and Hope,” the epilogue of Evicted, Desmond lays out his policy prescription for America’s broken housing system. “The idea is simple,” Desmond writes. The government should guarantee rental subsidies to all low-income families struggling to pay rent. With vouchers in hand, families could choose where they wanted to live — “as long as their housing was neither too expensive, big, and luxurious nor too shabby and run-down” — without the fear of falling into debt and, inevitably, facing eviction. ''
</blockquote>
=== <br/> Refundable housing tax credit - proposed in ''City Observatory, ''2016, by Daniel Hertz. ===
