RCED-92-187R 1 (1992-05-12)

handle is hein.gao/gaobackar0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-248459 May 12, 1992 The Honorable Barbara A. Mikulski Chair, Subcommittee on VA, HUD 146589 and Independent Agencies Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Madam Chair: On November 26, 1991, you asked that we report on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) budgetary needs for expiring section 8 certificate and voucher contracts for fiscal year 1993. Your request was based on the concern that in previous years HUD has not been able to accurately predict its budget needs for expiring certificate and voucher contracts. In an April 13, 1992, briefing on the progress of our work, we informed your office that in visits to two HUD field offices (in Baltimore, Md., and Richmond, Va.), we found certificate and voucher contracts needing renewal that had not been included in the President's fiscal year 1993 budget request. Subsequent to the April 13 briefing, we completed work at a third HUD field office (in Minneapolis, Minn.). This letter provides the results of our work to estimate renewal needs at the three offices for your use in considering HUD's fiscal year 1993 budget request. In summary, as of April 30, 1992, HUD estimated that $237.8 million (about 4 percent of the nationwide total) will be needed to renew expiring tenant-based section 8 certificate and voucher contracts at the three HUD field offices. We found that this estimate for the three offices (1) did not include $16.4 million for contracts that must be renewed in fiscal year 1993 and (2) included $8.6 million for contracts that are not due to be renewed in that fiscal year. The estimates differed because HUD field offices and HUD quality control procedures did not identify contracts that are due to be renewed in fiscal year 1993 and because HUD data bases used to supplement information supplied by field offices contained incorrect information. Since we reviewed contracts at only three field offices, our results cannot be generalized to the nation as a whole. GAO/RCED-92-187R, Section 8 Budget Needs
