我始終覺得,低收入供房是一種殘破的制度。

broken是一個負面意義的詞,“不健全”體現不出負面的色彩。

broken就是没有起到预期的作用,需要修补、改革,那么,这个候选人打算在改革这个系统方面有所作为。如果要译为“失败”,可能会被选民认为这个候选人希望推动把低收入住房系统彻底废除。

下列网页证明了这个broken的系统是可以fix的。如果翻译为“失败的”,就是无法fix的了。

low income housing 就是一个系统,而不是一个policy 或一套制度。它是一套由政府 operate 的系统,有的地方有专门的局来管理这个系统。low income housing 中包含着一个“系统”所要求的所有要素。
