Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Serving A Broader Economic Range

Of Families In Public Housing

Could Reduce Operating Subsidies



The financial condition of some agencies
providing housing assistance to low-income
families continues to deteriorate despite Fed-
eral legislation enacted 5 years ago to coun-
teract this trend.

Providing housing for a broader economic
range of families could improve the situa-
tion. Unless action is taken, continued finan-
cial deterioration and increased dependence
on Federal subsidies may result.

No simple solution exists to motivate hous-
ing agencies to house a broader range of
low-income families instead of the poorest
households. Housing poor families in prefer-
ence to very poor families involves hard
choices. Formidable problems of a moral
and administrative nature exist.


The Department of Housing and Urban
Development should make a firmer commit-
ment to implement the legislation by guiding
and  monitoring housing agencies more
effectively.
