This historical publication is an evaluation of the performance of the Rental Rehabilitation Program approximately two years after it began. The program was designed to distribute funds to cities with a population of 50,000 or more to facilitate smaller rental properties with moderate repair needs and broke with traditional patterns of low-income housing programs by providing rental assistance payments with no limits or guarantees of project rents. The report consists of seven chapters: introduction; program design and implementation; role of the PHA, tenant assistance strategies, and displacement issues; program impact on tenants; property owners and finances; property conditions and repairs; and a summary and conclusion.

This report is part of the collection of scanned historical documents available to the public.
