In my opinion, the Section 8 program is closer to that than to just a straight handout.
It is a handout.
For these programs to work, you've got to ensure people are moving up and not stagnant or falling out. The current system doesn't offer much in the way of making sure people are moving up and in fact inhibits it in many ways.
I've known a couple of people who've gone through section 8 and it helps some people become homeowners. Unfortunately zero down usually means they walk away at some point, as both of those I know who've gone through the program have done.
The current programs fricking suck, and until you folks stop defending them and realize what they are doing to people, the situation will get worse. They need reform in a bad way
