Using the results of 1,915 interviews, this historical report examines the initial and later attitudes of landlords in St. Joseph County, Indiana toward HUD’s Housing Assistance Supply Experiment (HASE). HASE, an experimental program to test the market impact of providing housing allowances to low-income households with domiciles meeting minimum standards of decency, was the second component of HUD’s Experimental Housing Allowance Program. The publication describes characteristics of landlords in the county, their knowledge of the program, how they evaluate it, and what effects they expected from it.
