Housing assistance is given to the consumer, e.g. mortgage insurance, leased lots, public housing; it is also given to the housing producer, e.g. mortgages at or below market rates, and supporting services for housing.

OBS

for "assistance" : ...there is a crucial difference between two types of financial assistance--subsidized and unsubsidized... The rent-geared-to-income program for low-income families and welfare families and for elderly persons is typical of subsidized assistance. Unsubsidized assistance, such as mortgage funding and the leasing of lots for single-family homes, is generally geared to middle-income and moderate-income families.
