With U.S. rental assistance on the horizon for struggling landlords and tenants, Bay Area housing advocates say the region could be shortchanged in a federal distribution that favors population more than costs and number of renters.

Congress in December earmarked $25 billion for direct aid to renters and landlords, with states receiving aid based on population, and not on a more favorable formula for the high cost Bay Area that would take into account the number of renters or estimated rent owed.
