FRONTLINE and NPR examine the billions spent on inexpensive housing, and why so few get the assistance they want.
This journalism is made potential by viewers such as you. Assist your native PBS station right here:
In a nine-month investigation that takes FRONTLINE and NPR from Dallas to Miami, NPR’s Laura Sullivan and FRONTLINE’s Rick Younger discover that only one in 4 households eligible for Part 8 help are getting it, and the nation’s signature low-income housing building program is costing extra and producing much less. The staff investigates the inseparability of race and housing applications in America, tracing a legacy of segregation and discrimination that started greater than 80 years in the past.

Everyone's going to demonize the woman who doesn't want Section 8 as neighbors. I wish she was my neighbor. The more people who stick up for their rights to live in safety and quiet the better.
Wrong. Cronies from Demonrats STEAL $$$ by GOVT fund.
I swore I’d never judge…7 kids?…why
This is not shockingly not shocking! Corruption is not new and it is still happening! The affordable housing is NOT affordable! Housing authority chose and select who to provide the vouchers to! They do not go by low income people! They chose the people they wanna help! Most likely thief family and friends!
And in 7 years things have gotten WAY worse! When will the government intervene
The renters are renting run down nasty apartments sad
I refuse to live by whites are Mexican I’m like them I don’t care for white ppl
Sounds like a set=up
The only way we can "get out of the hood" is leave hood mentality and hood talk and hood actions in the hood. Dont take it with you when you move out of the hood!
I'M sick of those racist people, and he's the one who's hating, and yes, he is racist lm biracial, and he better get used to interracial marriage or relationships because it's gonna be alot more of that In the future
I was homeless, got into drug's went to prison and then I got to know Jesus and he changed my life…Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $50,000 in 2months . I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough! Now I have a new identity and a child of God
The liberal media always fails to mention some glaring statistics regarding these matters
Most of these people are dumb who do you think works at your McDonald's Walmart in town and other places doesn't mean they're bad people just don't have the means as you do so why not help
AND THEN THEY EXPECT FOR YOU TO BRING CHILDREN INTO THIS PREDITORY SOCIETY …… DAMN IF YOU DO & DAMN IF YOU DON'T …
I don't understand why they want to integrate white housing, and not Asian, Hispanic, and so on?
He smog
It shit and greed.
PBS block most comments. Before Joe Biden. Think about what you do. 48:00
How come he went to jail, and she just got probation when she was just involved and driving a nice car, acting high class, etc.. equality she must go just like the men

All kinds of people are coming into America.
Other lands keep people from coming into their home land to live.
Even a black person doesn't wanna live in a neighborhood where other blacks live. That tells y'all everything that u need to know.
No one wants to live around poverty because it breeds crime and it negatively affects the local culture. It's not racist, it's culturalist and classist and there's nothing wrong with that.
I don't live in an expensive neighborhood, but I still don't want section 8 housing near me. I have neighbors from many different backgrounds, but they are not deprived and desperate. Desperation causes people to behave bad.
Wow, that blond lady in front of her fancy house in Frisco TX is a seeunt
Racist much??
It has gotten way worse since
The Federal government spent $50,000 for homeless problem for the whole country??
50Billion may do something.
With top notch brains elites in our country leaders look solution for homelessness. Stop wasting energy on abortion, stupid and distracting from real problems
Part of the problem that the section 8 waiting list is so long is because when people get on section 8, they keep the vouchers for years and even decades. The vouchers are supposed to be a way to help you get on your feet, not to provide housing for the rest of your life.
My parents were poor/working class. That's how I grew up. Some of the poor, like my parents, are decent, hard working people.
I'm no longer poor. I have a significant investment portfolio, including a few rental units.
I don't want to rent to Section 8 types. Some are decent, hard working folks, many others are DIRT BAGS-just useless, destructive, irresponsible riff raff. I'll bend over backward to give a break to my renters who work, but may be struggling, sometimes charging far rents far below market value. But I don't want to rent to the scum bags.
There. I said it. Excoriate me if you must, but I just don't need the aggravation that comes with Section 8.
What they don’t mention is the indiscriminate lending by those same banks that we, the taxpayers bailed out. We even paid them their bonuses .
Tax Credit INDUSTRY? WTF?
Seeing that woman with the giant suv and the nice house talk so poorly of those less fortunate than her is so disgusting. She should be ashamed of herself
"people who are different", what you mean "being poor"? if you give a "gift or a gratuity" after getting what you want then it's not a bribe – SCOTUS. only the little guy goes to prison.
I don't understand if they don't have drug issues.And they're not criminals.What's the problem?
Only thing I can think of is there worried that if people move in they're gonna be drug addicts and criminals
What the hell these people are trying to help?And they get charged with crime crimes?
Yeah, yeah…blame it on another “crisis”
This is a clear example of racism/classism in 2024
We have a housing problem because of supply problem. Low income housing does not just mean section 8. There are various HUD based affordable housing programs. This thing with not letting folks build housing anywhere near a given neighborhood is actually very common, and contributing to the lack of available housing overall.
