[Daily Caller] Adult men are almost as common a sight in housing projects as women, even though data show that virtually every subsidized apartment is occupied by low-income women whose "poverty" status is based on being single mothers with no man.
They can be seen exiting apartments in the morning, parking their cars there overnight, and hanging out with other men mid-day. Some are likely coming to see new girlfriends or relatives but their sheer numbers make it unlikely that all of them, or even most, are temporary visitors.
But multiple authorities admit that they do nothing to ensure that the subsidized housing is only used by people named on leases. The authorities also said there is no risk of consequences for people who gain admittance by claiming to be the only adult occupant of a subsidized housing unit.
According to Department of Housing and Urban Development data, 89 percent of families in housing projects have only a mom present, with the number even higher in major cities.
