I live in a lower-income area, so I figure that the better tenants you will get with a safe house, the ongoing safety the tenants feel, and the lowered risk of a break-in (when occupied or vacant getting ready to lease), and reduced headaches/vacancy/potential damage are worth the marginal up-front cost of having it installed.

The program is designed to assist low-income families, and these benchmarks might exclude a lot of qualified people.That said, the requirement for stable rental and work history is reasonable, but you might consider relaxing the credit score or income requirements since Section 8 guarantees a portion of the rent.
