Federal cutbacks in affordable housing programs during the Reagan years and a reduced supply of affordable rental units in the private market have created a housing crisis that is injurious to households headed by single mothers. Based on research conducted with low-income single mothers trying to participate in the federally funded Section 8 Rental Assistance Program, this study found that those most likely to receive program benefits were white single mothers with small families who had limited aspirations for better housing. Minority women with multiple unmet housing needs and high aspirations for relocating to a better living environment were least likely to receive program benefits. Social workers trained in community organizing, planning, social administration and policy practice have the skills to assume leadership in the design of more effective and equitable affordable housing policies, programs and implementation strategies to improve single mothers' access to the affordable housing of their choice.
