handle is hein.gao/gaobackvz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States GAO General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-261457 June 20, 1995 The Honorable Rick A. Lazio Chairman, Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity Committee on Banking and Financial Services House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: On January 25, 1995, you asked us to determine the purpose and funding history of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) programs that provide nonhousing assistance. However, because almost all of HUD's programs relate in some manner to housing or to community services that enhance decent and safe housing, we found that any listing of nonhousing programs would be arbitrary, at best, and certain to be controversial. Therefore, we agreed with your office to focus on a recent report issued by HUD's Office of Inspector General (OIG) that identified 91 of HUD's 240 programs as not directly related to HUD's core mission. ' Although this characterization does not equate to nonhousing, the information we provide in enclosures I and II should be helpful in your analysis of HUD's program structure. After we briefed your office on the results of our work, we agreed to provide that information in a report. (See encs. I and II.) In addition, as agreed with your office and on the basis of our discussions with a limited number of participants in the programs, including HUD field officials and program grantees, we are providing you with these individuals' views on (1) whether programs that the OIG identified are worthwhile, (2) whether another agency could provide these services if HUD's funding for them ceased, and (3) whether these programs support HUD's legislatively 'ODortunities for Terminating, Consolidating and Restructuring HUD Proarams, Office of the Inspector General, Department of Housing and Urban Development (Dec. 30, 1994).
