Then a couple of government blowhards starting measuring their dicks and that guarantee is not so solid.

That's not how that program worked. It gave homeless people up to $1000 to pay towards an apartment lease for up to 2 years. Any landlord that accepted that voucher knew it would be gone in 24 months anyway. And it wasn't a voucher for any apartment. They had to sign up individual apartments for the Advantage program. So in a building you would have normal apartments and voucher apartments. Its not like Section 8 which will pay for any apartment up to code.
