For many low-income families or individuals, paying their monthly bills on time is only half the headache.  There's also the rent looming over their heads, and settling the amount with the landlord will usually shave off as much as half of the breadwinner's monthly salary.  How can the country's poorest families avoid eviction when it is precisely the rent that keeps them in financial straits?

To help the country's poorest families address this problem, the government has spearheaded a number of housing grants that can ease the burden that expensive rent can impose on needy Americans.  One of these is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public Housing Program, which aims to give safe and proper housing to the country's poor families and individuals.

With HUD housing, a household with meager means won't have to deal with monthly rent, and they can spend their money on other pressing needs, such as keeping up with the kids' education or getting better nutrition and health.  The HUD's public housing assistance covers homes in various sizes and forms, including single family houses and apartments for the elderly.  Under the program, the HUD will channel the funds to local public housing agencies, which make sure that the community's neediest families get adequate housing for very low rental fees.

Public housing applications are open only to low-income families and individuals, with eligibility rules resting on the local housing agency.  If you want to find out more about how public housing assistance can make life so much easier for you and your family, you can contact the Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington, D.C., or you can check with the public housing agency nearest to you.
