More than 50,000 low-income families in Los Angeles are only able to afford the city’s high rents because of the Section 8 housing choice voucher program. But soon, those vouchers will cover less rent — leaving many tenants with fewer places to go.

Starting Aug. 1, rent limits for new Section 8 leases will decrease by 10%.
