That Congress chose to enact such a compromise is
unsurprising given its purpose for creating enhanced vouchers
in the first place: “allow[ing] tenants to continue to maintain
their homes where the owners of their rental units have raised
rents after rejecting the renewal of project-based contracts.” S.
Rep. No. 106-161, at 62 (1999). Congress considered this goal
“especially . . . important where the tenants [we]re elderly or
persons with disabilities . . . [who] want[ed] to age in place.”
Id. Then, when Congress amended the enhanced voucher
provision in 2000, it did so in order to “clarify[] that assisted
families continue to have the right to elect to remain in the
same unit of their project if that project is eligible to receive
enhanced vouchers.” H.R. Rep. No. 106-521, at 42–43 (2000);
see also H.R. Rep. No. 106-710, at 164 (2000) (Conf. Report)
(stating that amendment was meant to “clarify[] the intent” of
the enhanced voucher provision).
