Summary:

GAO has included the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) among its list of government programs at high risk for waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. (See GAO/HR-97-12, Feb. 1997). This testimony focuses on HUD's request for more than $9 billion to renew rental assistance contracts, as well as on some of the assumptions underlying HUD's estimate. GAO discusses (1) the estimates that HUD used to develop its budget request for renewing Section 8 assisted housing contracts, (2) HUD's justification for 50,000 additional Section 8 certificates, (3) HUD's success in reducing the level of uncommitted public housing modernization funds held by housing authorities and (4) HUD's request for $100 million to fund the second round of the Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community Program.
