How can we reduce the barriers landlords face to participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program?

The federal Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program helps very low-income renters afford housing on the private market. But the HCV program has generally struggled to attract and retain landlords. In Minneapolis, MN, we surveyed landlords to better understand the barriers they face to participating in the HCV program. We then used this information to design and test tailored messages aimed at increasing interest in the HCV program.
