Summary:

The resources available to Congress cannot adequately address all of the nation's myriad housing and community development needs. However, GAO believes that the funds that Congress provides to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) should be used as wisely as possible and that HUD's programs should reflect a national consensus on the best approaches to meeting housing and community development challenges. For fiscal year 2000, HUD is proposing a total budget of about $28 billion in new discretionary budget authority, which, in combination with the available budget authority from earlier years, will help support about $34 billion in discretionary outlays. This testimony identifies areas in which HUD's budget justification is insufficient or in which unexpended funds might offer the opportunity to rethink the need for new appropriations.
