Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


HUD Needs To Better Determine

Extent Of Community Block Grants'

Lower Income Benefits


Principally benefitting low-and moderate-
income persons remains the primary objec-
tive of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development's (HUD's) Community
Development Block Grant Program. For the
$2.4 billion entitlement city portion of the
program, information HUD uses in its report
to the Congress may not accurately reflect
the extent to which lower income persons
actuply benefit. GAO found problems con-
cernng (1) cities' inconsistent methods of
identifying and reporting beneficiaries, (2)
HUD's weak oversight which did not iden-
tify grantees' problems or verify perform-
anc information, and (3) HUD's inade-
qua e reporting of actual block grant
ben fits to the Congress.

HUD can achieve more reliable information
on the extent to which lower income per-
sonj benefit from the block grant program
by improving its program oversight and by
using actual benefit data in its annual
report to the Congress.
