It's basically vouchers that help families find affordable housing. If a family chooses a place with rent that exceeds the allowance, they can elect to pay the difference. They currently serve over 800,000 people.

It has to do with the Housing Authority. Low-income people may select a place to live and the government pays the rent for them as long as it meets certain standards.
