Housing and Urban Development

Limited Progress Made on HUD Reforms Gao ID: T-RCED-96-112 March 27, 1996

Despite the promise of reform, reinvention, and transformation initiatives aimed at solving problems at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), much more remains to be done. HUD is very much an agency in limbo: Few of the proposals in HUD's reinvention blueprint have been adopted. This testimony addresses HUD's difficulties in addressing (1) its long-standing management shortcomings, (2) its portfolio of multi- and single-family housing insured by the Federal Housing Administration, (3) budget and management problems plaguing the public housing program, (4) the spiraling cost of assisted housing programs, and (5) the need for consensus on HUD reforms.
