Rent is becoming less affordable, particularly those who are low-income, and getting worse. A proposed increase for people using federal housing subsidies will most affect single mothers and their children, putting them at risk for homelessness, increasing their risk for domestic violence.
We knew Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carsons idea to encourage self-sufficiency would hurt, now we know now much: Federal subsidies are expected to jump 20 percent, according to an analysis by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities for the Associated Press. People already working every day would be squeezed even more.
Over 3.3 million extremely low-income Americans receive housing subsidies, and millions more are homeless or pay more than half their income in rent, locked out of housing subsidies because of HUD limits or lack of low-cost housing.
A majority of domestic violence survivors already have experienced financial abuse. This means their partner has kept them from their finances, wouldnt let them work, harassed them at work by showing up or calling excessively, or purposely destroyed their credit.
Physically abusive partners may abuse women to the point they cannot show up for work and lose their jobs. If women are able to leave an abusive partner, they often can only afford low-cost housing. But where will they go if they cant retreat to the safety of affordable housing?
As a public health researcher embedded in these communities, the answer is simple: Nowhere.

Welfare is not meant to be a lively hood, it is meant to bring relief for a short while....abusers here are those who expect to live forever on the Government tit.
Make them get off their lazy @$$e$ and work to pay for rent for a nice place so they have a sense of pride for their home and theyll think twice before they chance losing everything over jail for domestic abuse.
Remember there are now MORE JOBS than there are the unemployed.
The plantation is CLOSED. Now go out there and work.
How dare this administration insist that people do more to support themselves!!! Why ... who knows what THAT could lead to??!!!!
That just about sums up this article.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Don’t procreate with thugs.
Inshallah!

Doesn’t sound like you’d qualify for government assistance if you are ABLE to work
When are we going to have a campaign to lower the number of single mothers with children. Maybe when we stop rewarding them for their actions?
If that ain't Global Warming-caused, nothin' is! Too Trumpin' much warm!!

BTW, if you want the recipe, I'd be glad to oblige.
Recipes are always good!
Especially if I can use low-cost ingredients.
(Got to add some hot dogs to those BBQ beans I made (1/2 leftover) - BIG can of Van Camp’s with a dent in the side - so I used it up. BBQ sauce, ketchup, paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, and some frozen green and red pepper (chopped) from last years garden....).

...Women in abusive relationships are likely to leave abusers when the rents too high. Of the 25 percent of women abused by partners, many stay with or return to abusers because theres not enough room in shelters or available affordable housing. Higher rent will only increase the likelihood of staying in abusive relationships to avoid homelessness...
Compare the first bolded sentence with the last bolded sentence. They are saying exactly opposite things. The author of this drivel is clearly suffering from TDS and using lots of that medical marijuana the alleviate it.
They have to create excuses for why they believe the world doesn't work the way they believe it should.
They have a compulsive need to rationalize, makes excuses, find hidden meaning (racism, sexism, etc) for their denial of reality.
Were the eggs from free-range chickens and the cheese from grass-fed, happy cows? There’s part of your problem. Factor in global warming and you have an omelet tragedy of Shakespearean proportions.
OMG!! Probably makes the globe WARMER TOO! IDIOCY.
