Back in the United States, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson proposed legislation Wednesday that would triple the rent of the lowest-income families who receive federal housing subsidies. Carson’s “Making Affordable Housing Work Act” would also require many recipients of Section 8 housing assistance to work at least 15 hours a week. Nearly 5 million households would be affected by the bill.
