Block Grants For Housing:

A Study Of Local Experiences And Attitudes




Considerable interest in consolidating Feder-
al housing programs into a block grant has
existed for years. However, no one knows
the full ramifications of creating a major
new block grant program for housing or
significantly altering the Department of
Housing and Urban Development's existing
Community Development Block Grant
Program. Accordingly, GAO examined hous-
ing activities at four major cities and sur-
veyed 664 cities and counties concerning
their housing programs and opinions on the
subject.

This report presents the results of a national
survey on (1) local experiences in designing
and implementing housing programs under
the Community Development Block Grant
Program and (2) local housing officials'
attitudes toward housing block grants. Taken
together, these two areas can be used to
provide some insight into how a block grant
could be designed and the potential
consequences of its implementation.
