Public housing advocates oppose private sector takeover

While military spending gets top dollar, a government subsidized program that has been around since the great depression is in danger of disappearing. Public housing, more commonly known in the US as section 8 could possibly move from the federal government's jurisdiction to private companies. The Obama administration has introduced a proposal that is not being welcomed by advocates and community organizers of public and affordable housing. The measure would move the public housing system into the private sector.
