The demand increase induced by vouchers depends on the size of the population served(relative to the size of the market), the amount of the subsidy received by each household, and the extent to which the subsidy is spent on housing. The amount of the subsidy is easiest to evaluate : housing subsidies are fairly generous, as we might expect from a program that provides welfare recipients and over very low-income households with the median rental housing available. For example, the 1997 Fair Market Rent for a two bedroom apartment in the Oakland MSA is $794, which is about equal to welfare and food stamps benefits combined. 2, record 4, English, - median%20rental%20housing%20property
