     The Honorable William H. Harsha             li
     House of Representatives                       109161

     Dear Mr. Harsha:

          On January 10, 1979, we issued a report (CED-79-7) to
     you responding to your request for a review of the Department
     aof ousingnd                   t's processing of the applica-
        n  or t e Oakwood apartments--an assi    housin  project
   of4 tHnAsit- ousing                                    r~
     near Milford, Ohio. We gave the Department an opportunity to
     provide written comments on a draft of this report, but we did
     not receive its response in time to include it in the report.

          This letter transmits to you the Department's February 23,
     1979, comments on the report (see enclosure) and our evaluation.

          Our report contained four recommendations for improving
     the Department's local government notification and certain
     proc      vw    rcedures in6drequirements.. _-The Department
     did not agree with two of our recommendations and stated that
     the intent of another was unclear. However, its comments do
     not alter our position, and we still believe that the
     recommended changes are needed.

          The Department reiterated the conclusion it reached after
     a detailed review of the project last year; namely, that
     although there were ways in which the processing of the
     Oakwood project could have been improved, no shortcomings in
     the processing were found which would have disqualified the
     project from receiving section 8 housing assistanc'e or
     Department mortgage insurance.

          The following sections list our recommendations, a
     summary of the Department's comments on the recommendations,
     and our evaluation.



                                  ~            CED-79-76
                                                 (38219)
