More than 26,000 poor in California could lose housing help, group says.
By Andy Furillo -- Bee Staff Writer

An estimated 184,000 people across the country face losing their federal
housing subsidies as a result of a budgeting miscalculation by the Bush
administration, according to a report released Friday in Washington by an
advocacy group for the poor. The reduction would be unprecedented in the
29-year history of the Section 8 housing subsidy program, said the report
by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.

"For many of these people, they won't be able to make ends meet," said Will
Fischer, a low-income housing policy analyst for the center and a co-author
of the report. "For the elderly and disabled folks who make up 40 percent
of the caseload, it means they won't be able to live independently. It
means they will have to move into an institutional setting or be at risk of
homelessness."
	
More than 26,000 Californians on Section 8 would lose their subsidies as a
result of the shortfall, according to the CBPP. No figures were available
for the Sacramento region.
