REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Lenient Rules Abet The

Occupancy Of Low Income

Housing By Ineligible Tenants


The occupancy of section 8 housing by ineli-
gible households is a significant and costly
problem. Although program rules allow some
leeway for owners to rent units under section
8 assistance contracts to households ineligible
to receive assistance, the rules are too lenient
and some owners ignore them. Although inel-
igible tenants receive no direct subsidies, they
do benefit from large, indirect financing sub-
sidies and displace needy households.
The Department of Housing and Urban Devel-
opment has agreed to take a number of cor-
rective actions suggested earlier by GAO, but
some aspects of the problem remain. GAO is
therefore recommending further actions by
both the Congress and the Department.
