The Need for Affordable Housing
• 10.8 million renter households nationwide pay more than half of their monthly income on rent, leaving too little for other expenses like health care, transportation and nutritious food
• In order to afford a one-bedroom apartment at the national average fair market rent, a minimum wage worker has to work 99 hours per week

The Problem
While a significant majority of HUD and HUD-assisted properties are safe and in a quality condition, a new inspection model is needed to expediently address properties that are not. Issues include:
• Inspections do not always identify the extent of health and safety conditions affecting residents • Properties can pass inspection even with poor unit conditions • Scoring model no longer aligns with expectations about housing quality • Some owners preparing for inspections, rather than performing maintenance year-round • Deficiencies are not all Critical to Quality (CTQ)

Marijuana – Medical or Otherwise
• Should Housing Providers Permit Use of Marijuana?
• Can residents request a reasonable accommodation to smoke or otherwise use it?
Bottom Line: HUD policies prohibit admission of applicants who admit to using marijuana but allow owners discretion whether to allow continued occupancy of current residents.NOTE: CANNOT be used for medical expense deduction.
