More affluent households are outbidding others on rentals; this <br />is especially true because homeownership is increasingly harder to achieve. Wealthy households who <br />might have been able to purchase a home several years ago are finding a tightening mortgage market, <br />making them seek rental housing instead. <br />How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large <br />Although these concerns are generally no different than the population at large, especially among the <br />lowest incomes, voucher holders have the added problem of dwindling landlord participation in the <br />program. With rents skyrocketing, landlords can get greater rent increases in the open market, and <br />therefore will often refuse to rent to Section 8 clients. <br />Discussion <br />Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 57 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <br />419 <br />
