Ben Carson: The American dream is attainable with the help of HUD
“The federal government provides housing assistance to our most vulnerable citizens and it is nothing new. America has put a roof over the heads of those in need for generations. The fact is we shouldn’t stop there, we should think about how we can help families move beyond their need for housing assistance by providing access to higher paying jobs. We should think beyond investing in monthly rent checks and begin thinking about investing long-term in people. At the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we are building on an old idea to increase economic opportunities for low and very low-income people living in areas that receive HUD funds.”
