住房选择代金券计划的设计有两个主要目标：消除贫困集中及其造成的社会问题，并为贫困家庭提供更多进入机会更高的社区的机会。然而，研究表明，代金券持有者想要搬到机会更高的社区，但往往无法做到。最突出的原因之一是，在大多数城市和州，当地法律允许房东以潜在租户的“收入来源”(SOI)为由歧视他们。本文回顾了有关凭证接受者歧视的文献，以及SOI反歧视法律减轻这些负面后果的可能性。
The housing choice voucher program was designed with two main goals in mind: to eliminate concentrations of poverty and the social problems it causes and to provide poor households with greater access to higher-opportunity neighborhoods. However, research suggests that voucher holders would like to move to higher-opportunity neighborhoods, but often are unable to do so. One of the most prominent reasons for this is that, in most cities and states, local law allows landlords to discriminate against potential tenants on the grounds of their “source of income” (SOI). This article reviews the literature on discrimination of voucher recipients and the potential for SOI antidiscrimination laws to mitigate some of these negative outcomes.
