摘要

This paper compares program features and experiences from Great Britain's Rent Allowance Program with those from the Experimental Housing Allowance Program (EHAP) in the United States, concentrating on four aspects of the two programs -- program participation, outcomes, administration, and costs. The British program is essentially an income - transfer program that supplements the incomes of recipients and attempts to eliminate some of the inequalities within the established system of housing subsidies. No attempt is made to ensure a minimum level of housing quality under the program. Conversely, allowance payments under EHAP are designed both to provide low - income families with supplemental resources for housing expenditures and to encourage or require recipients to improve the quality of their housing. Similarities and differences in the features of the two programs are delineated. In comparing the experiences of each, it is noted that the participation rate, as well as the reasons for nonparticipation among eligible households, is similar for both programs. One major difference is the higher percentage of elderly among the recipients of allowance payments in the British program. The main effect of the allowance payments in both countries has been a reduction in housing costs relative to income. However, allowance payments have had virtually no perceived effect, to date, in either country on the price of local housing, the quality of neighborhood housing stock, or the composition of neighborhoods. Generally, administrative costs of EHAP are higher than that of the British program, partly because of EHAP's emphasis on making allowance payments only to recipients who attain certain minimum levels of housing quality. Footnotes and a bibliography are included.
