REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


How To House More People At Lower Costs

Under The Section 8

New Construction Program

The Section 8 New Construction Program is
producing very good quality rental housing;
housing which is, in fact, often better than
most other housing in the general market
areas where it is located. GAO found that given
the caliber of this housing, development and
operating costs were generally reasonable.
However, significant savings are possible, which                114664
could be used to extend housing assistance to
a greater number of the needy.

The Department of Housing and Urban Devel-
:opment should

    --take stepsto increase incentives for high-
    quality management and long-term own-
    ership of new section 8 projects,

    --build more modest-size section 8 hous-
    ing with fewer amenities,
    --get better use out of recently completed
    housing, and

    --improve program administration.

 Previous GAO reports related to the section 8
 program have recommended various other ac-
 tions which could reduce costs and improve
 program results.
