NEW: Welfare and Housing? How Can the Housing Assistance Programs Help Welfare Recipients? (2000) Available online as an Adobe .pdf file (4 megs, or soon as a smaller version (200k) without the cover photo). You can download a free reader here. This  NHLP report reviews the recent changes to the welfare programs and discusses the impacts that these changes will have on welfare recipients and housing providers both public and private.  It also sets out policies and programs that housing providers can and should adopt that will help welfare recipients secure and keep jobs and otherwise assist them in the transition from welfare to financial self-sufficiency.  The report also discusses actions that advocates should take to encourage housing providers to adopt policies favorable to very low-income households and their need for stable and affordable housing.
