In 1974, Congress amended the Housing Act to “significantly enlarge[] HUD’s role in the
creation of housing opportunities.”          Hills v. Gautreaux, 425 U.S. 284, 303 (1976) (citing
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93-383, sec. 201, § 8, 88 Stat.
633, 662–66). In the 1974 amendatory act, Congress authorized the first permanent tenant-based
rental housing assistance program—the Section 8 Rental Certificate Program—which allowed
the use of federal funds to subsidize a tenant’s monthly rental housing costs.2 “Building on the
success of the Certificate Program,” 80 Fed. Reg. 8243, 8244 (Feb. 17, 2015), Congress created
the Housing Choice Voucher Program in 1983.3 See Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of
1983, Pub. L. No. 98-181, sec. 207, 97 Stat. 1155, 1181–82 (codified as amended at 42 U.S.C.
§ 1437f(o)).4 The provisions governing the voucher program are at issue here.
