In 1974, under President Nixon, the Section 8 program was created with two distinct parts. The first involved a major housing-allowance type program, which provided households with the difference between what they could afford, based on their paying 25 percent of household income (changed to 30 percent in 1981), and the Fair Market Rent for an apartment in their area. The second component of Section 8 continued the project-based subsidy approach and improved upon these earlier programs by fostering good design and a financing mechanism that allowed for adequate operating subsidies. Most of these contracts with developers were for twenty-year terms.
From 1974 to 1983 (when it was phased out), the project-based development part of Section 8 – the New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation programs – produced about 1 million units of housing; the certificate/voucher part of Section 8 currently is providing rental assistance to about 1.5 million households. Despite the enactment of the Section 8 production programs, by the early 1970s the old style of housing assistance, which involved providing large federal subsidies to write-down the capital costs of producing housing, were quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Thanks for noticing it's a GOP program dip shit. That kind of Direct Aid, To the disabled among us. Is exactly the kind of Aid the Government should be giving out.
You are confronted with the fact that the GOP did something for the Poor and Disabled and you attack them for it?
Do you have Multiples?

The Obamaphones may be my favorite right wing talking point. How many times has it been repeated that they were a result of their man-god Reagan? How many times will Republicans ignore it and repeat the same Obamaphone meme? The current GOP isn't even living in the same reality as the rest of us anymore.

Ring Wing Goes Crazy Over 'Obama Phones' Which Are Actually 'Reagan Phones' | AlternetBut its the right that are going to end up looking like the ignorant fools. What Limbaugh, Malzberg -- and likely the majority of the million people who viewed the video -- didnt know was that these Obama Phones are actually a creation of their beloved Ronald Reagan, who began the program in 1984.
Actually called the Lifeline program, the legislation permits some households to receive a free landline under Congresss rationale that "telephone service provides a vital link to emergency services, government services and surrounding communities."
That idea dates back to 1934, under the Communications Act, but Reagan was the first to actually implement the legislation. The program grew under President Clinton, who recognized the advent of the newfangled new technology of cordless phones and expanded it to include cell phones.
