assist voucher holders in moving to lower poverty areas include
Buffalo, Chicago and Cook County (Illinois), Cincinnati,
Connecticut cities that are highly segregated, Minneapolis,
Philadelphia, Richmond (VA), San Diego, Seattle (King County),
Yonkers, and perhaps others.

Policy Priorities, May 23, 2016.
p. 209, 3 Section 8 priorities are presently established for emergencies—for
families that must move because of domestic violence, or for
homeless families, for example. I do not suggest that a priority for
families willing to move to high-opportunity communities should
replace emergency preferences, but it should follow them.
p. 209, 4 Sard and Rice 2014, 38, 51, 54. Perversely, targeting the voucher
amount to a metropolitan-wide median rent also results in voucher
amounts that are too high for low-income minority neighborhoods.
Landlords in those neighborhoods frequently raise their rents above
what market conditions support in order to capture this excessive
payment.

p. 210, 2 Sard and Rice 2014, 38, 50–53. Section 8 is also needlessly
bureaucratic. HUD requires a special health and safety inspection
of apartments before voucher recipients can rent them. This is a
well-meaning rule, but there can be more efficient coordination
between municipalities’ regular building and health inspections and
the standards established by HUD.
