With the recent allocation of money from the government, and a few changes to federal laws, cities have recently been granted the right to use stimulus funds to purchase low income housing. With unemployment so staggeringly high, the government has decided to do this to help poor people and boost the real estate market.
The poor people of the U.S. are a growing demographic and this action is the most proactive thing the government could do right now. Without this boost the city governments may not have acted quickly enough to make sure they could house all of the poor people right now.
The only other way to procure indigent housing is to contract to pay a guaranteed rent rate to property owners, buy even then they are reluctant to allow low income families to move in.
Some of the occupants of this kind of housing are disabled and need special care, or they may just be people who are unemployed and need help getting back on their feet. To prevent people from abusing the system, this type of housing is only offered for a specific term in many cases, although there are exceptions to that rule too.
The owners of the low income housing can qualify for special tax exemptions for agreeing to allow their property to be used to house the poor. To make sure that participating property owners do not get the shaft in dealing with the low income housing participants, the government guarantees the rent will be collected and paid to help defray concerns on participating.
Upstart investors frequently seek out low income housing programs when they get started buying and selling properties so that some of their risks are diminished. They understand that everyone can benefit from low income housing programs.
