The 2017 Budget provides $50 million for the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program and expands its authority to convert additional properties to long-term, project-based Section 8 contracts that can leverage private financing for capital improvements. Under existing authorities, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and other owners of rental properties assisted under the Public Housing, Moderate Rehabilitation (Mod Rehab), Moderate Rehabilitation Single-Room Occupancy (Mod Rehab SRO), Rent Supplement (Rent Supp) and Rental Assistance Payment (RAP) programs are offered the option to convert their properties to Section 8 contracts. The Budget expands this authority to enable Section 202 Housing for the Elderly Project Rental Assistance Contracts (PRACs) the option to also convert to Section 8 contracts.

In addition to no-cost conversions, the requested $50 million would be awarded to both PHAs and Section 202 PRAC owners to cover the incremental subsidy necessary for properties to feasibly convert. HUD would prioritize properties that are located in high poverty neighborhoods, including designated Promise Zones, where the Administration is supporting comprehensive revitalization efforts or other efforts to significantly increase opportunities for the residents. HUD also intends to prioritize conversions of Section 202 PRAC properties that have significant recapitalization needs in high need areas, as well as other criteria, including those properties with service coordinators for frail and elderly residents.

The Budget also includes the following proposals to facilitate additional conversions of HUD-assisted properties: 1) eliminates the 185,000 unit cap on Public Housing conversions; 2) eliminates the deadline of September 30, 2018, for submission of RAD applications; 3) standardizes ownership and control requirements for converted Public Housing properties in situations where low-income housing tax credits are used or where foreclosure, bankruptcy, or default occurs; and 4) protects tenants' right to continue occupancy under second component conversions.

For activities and assistance for the provision of tenant-based rental assistance authorized under the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.) ("the Act" herein), not otherwise provided for, [$15,628,525,000] $16,854,000,000, to remain available until [expended] September 30, 2019, shall be available on October 1, [2015] 2016 (in addition to the $4,000,000,000 previously appropriated under this heading that shall be available on October 1, [2015] 2016), and $4,000,000,000, to remain available until [expended] September 30, 2020, shall be available on October 1, [2016] 2017: Provided, That the amounts made available under this heading are provided as follows:

The 2017 Budget provides $20.9 billion for the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance program (also known as the Housing Choice Voucher program), which is the Federal government's largest and most income-targeted rental assistance program. With this funding, the Housing Choice Voucher program will provide housing assistance to over 2.2 million extremely low- to very low-income families to rent decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. About 2,300 state and local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) administer the Housing Choice Voucher program.

The Budget provides $18.5 billion in contract renewals to continue assistance for families anticipated to be under lease at the end of 2016, including renewing 14,000 housing vouchers for persons with disabilities.

Based on studies that show that moving to higher opportunity areas can have significant and positive long-term earnings and college attainment outcomes for children, the Budget includes investments in the Housing Choice Voucher program to improve the mobility of low-income families. The Budget requests $2.1 billion in PHA administrative fees to not only support fundamental functions, such as housing quality inspections and tenant income certifications, but to ensure that PHAs have sufficient resources to promote mobility and give low-income families greater access to areas with lower crime, more job opportunities, and better schools. In addition, the Budget requests $15 million and statutory authority to implement a Mobility Counseling Demonstration program to help families with housing vouchers move and stay in areas of opportunities. The funds would be used to pay for counseling, outreach to landlords, portability coordination, security deposits, and other administrative functions.

The Budget provides targeted discretionary funding increases to address homelessness, including $88 million for 10,000 housing vouchers for homeless families with children. These housing vouchers will be awarded to PHAs in geographic areas with demonstrated need, in coordination with local Continuum of Care programs, and will complement the $11 billion mandatory proposal to end family homelessness, as discussed in the "Homeless Assistance for Families" account.

The Budget requests $110 million for tenant protection vouchers, which are provided to families who must relocate due to actions beyond their control, such as public housing demolition or redevelopment, and when private owners of multi-family developments choose to leave the project-based program or convert to long-term Section 8 contracts, as a part of the Rental Assistance Demonstration program.

The Budget provides $7 million for the Tribal HUD-VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program, to serve homeless or at risk of homeless Native American veterans living in and around designated tribal areas.

The Budget also proposes the following statutory improvements to the Housing Choice Voucher program: 1) increasing the threshold used to determine deductions for unreimbursed medical expenses from 3 to 10 percent of family income; 2) improving the process for establishing Fair Market Rents; 3) simplifying the calculation of the 20 percent project-based voucher cap by basing the maximum on units rather than funding level; 4) implementing a new formula to allocate administrative fees; and 5) extending the maximum term of Family Unification Program vouchers issued to youths aging out of foster care from 18 to 60 months.

Unobligated balances, including recaptures and carryover, remaining from funds appropriated to the Department of Housing and Urban Development under this heading, the heading "Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing" and the heading "Project-Based Rental Assistance", for fiscal year [2016] 2017 and prior years may be used for renewal of or amendments to section 8 project-based contracts and for performance-based contract administrators, notwithstanding the purposes for which such funds were appropriated: Provided, That any obligated balances of contract authority from fiscal year 1974 and prior that have been terminated [shall be rescinded] are hereby permanently cancelled: Provided further, That amounts heretofore recaptured, or recaptured during the current fiscal year, from section 8 project-based contracts from source years fiscal year 1975 through fiscal year 1987 are hereby [rescinded] permanently cancelled, and an amount of additional new budget authority, equivalent to the amount [rescinded] permanently cancelled is hereby appropriated, to remain available until expended, for the purposes set forth under this heading, in addition to amounts otherwise available.

Until 2005, the Housing Certificate Fund provided funding to both the project-based and tenant-based components of the Section 8 program. Project-Based Rental Assistance and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance are now funded in separate accounts.

The Budget proposes $1.865 billion for the Public Housing Capital Fund, a formula program designed to address the capital and management improvement needs of Public Housing properties. This program preserves and enhances a valuable affordable housing resource that serves approximately 1.1 million low-income families. Of the amount requested, approximately $1.8 billion will fund capital grants to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs). The balance includes $35 million for Jobs-Plus, an evidence-based program for increasing the employment and earnings of Public Housing residents, of which up to $5 million may be used to implement a demonstration of the Jobs-Plus model in Indian country; $5 million for ConnectHome, a project aimed at narrowing the digital divide for students and families in public housing; up to $20 million for emergency capital needs resulting from non-Presidentially declared emergencies and natural disasters; up to $10 million for financial and physical assessments of Public Housing and other HUD-assisted properties; and up to $1 million for administrative and judicial receiverships.

The Budget also includes a legislative proposal to allow limited capital funds to be used for operating purposes, and operating funds for capital improvements.

The Budget requests $4.569 billion for the Public Housing Operating Fund, which provides subsidies to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to assist in funding the operating expenses of Public Housing units in accordance with Section 9(e) of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The Budget proposes cross-cutting legislative reforms to HUD's core rental assistance programs, namely increasing the threshold used to determine deductions for unreimbursed medical expenses from 3 to 10 percent of tenant income. In addition, the Budget includes two proposals specific to Public Housing: 1) additional flexibility for PHAs to use their operating funds for Capital Fund activities, and vice versa; and 2) a utilities conservation pilot to encourage PHAs to undertake energy and water conservation measures and reduce Federal costs.

The Budget provides $200 million for Choice Neighborhoods to continue the transformation of neighborhoods of concentrated poverty into sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods with well-functioning services, schools, public assets, transportation, and access to jobs. The goal of the program is to transform distressed neighborhoods and improve the quality of life of current and future residents by coordinating and concentrating neighborhood investments from multiple sources. The Budget will fund approximately six implementation grants and five to ten planning grants.

Choice Neighborhoods also supports the Administration's Promise Zones initiative, which is creating partnerships between the Federal government, local communities and businesses to create jobs, increase economic security, expand educational opportunities, increase access to quality, affordable housing, and improve public safety. The Budget includes companion investments of $128 million in the Department of Education's Promise Neighborhoods program and $24 million in the Department of Justice's Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Grants program, as well as tax incentives to promote investment and economic growth in the Zones.

The Budget includes proposals to 1) make the allocation of Choice Neighborhoods funding for the HOPE VI Main Street Housing Grants program an option instead of a requirement, and 2) allow flexibility to reduce the term of the 20-year affordability requirement for homeownership units. HUD will consider homeownership affordability requirements across other HUD programs in determining minimum affordability periods for Choice grantees.

The HOPE VI program, in coordination with funding from the Public Housing Capital Fund, has accomplished its goal of contributing to the demolition of approximately 100,000 severely distressed Public Housing units.

The Budget requests $75 million for the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program to help Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) residents achieve self-sufficiency and economic independence. FSS provides service coordination through community partnerships that link assisted residents with employment assistance, job training, child care, transportation, financial literacy, and other supportive services. Residents participating in FSS are provided an interest bearing escrow account; any rent increase resulting from increased earned income during their participation in the program is credited to the escrow account.

The Budget supports FSS through competitive funding for public housing agencies and authority for PBRA owners to use funds from their residual receipt accounts or other sources to hire service coordinators.

The Budget proposes $700 million for the Native American Housing Block Grant (NAHBG) program. This program allocates funds on a formula basis to approximately 360 recipients representing more than 550 Indian tribes to help them address housing and other needs within their communities.

In real terms, funding for NAHBG has declined approximately 25 percent since the program's first year of funding in 1998. At the same time, American Indian and Alaska Natives (AIANs) continue to face severe housing challenges both in absolute terms and relative to the general population. For example, 8.1 percent of AIAN households are overcrowded compared to 3.3 percent of all households (based on 2010–2014 Census data). The requested increase for this program would partially restore the eroding real value of grant funds and accelerate tribal efforts to alleviate overcrowding and substandard housing conditions in Indian Country.

The Budget also proposes three changes to the Native American Housing and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) to support program management and oversight: 1) clarifying that carryover authority does not preclude HUD from recapturing funds when grantees fail to carry out eligible activities in a timely manner; 2) strengthening HUD authority to temporarily suspend recipients' access to grant funds when funds are being spent on ineligible activities; and 3) clarifying HUD authority to recapture funds distributed based on inaccurate formula data.

Within the total amount requested, $2 million is for the Title VI loan guarantee program. The Title VI program provides a Federal guarantee of notes or other obligations issued by Indian tribes or tribally-designated housing entities for the purpose of financing affordable housing activities. The amount requested is sufficient to guarantee $17.86 million in loans.

The Indian Housing Loan Guarantee program (also known as the Section 184 program) provides access to private mortgage financing for Indian families, Indian tribes, and their tribally-designated housing entities who otherwise could not acquire such financing because of the unique legal status of Indian trust land. The Budget provides $5.5 million to support $1.3 billion in loan guarantees. Of the requested amount, up to $750 thousand may be used for administrative contract expenses.

The 2013 Appropriations Act gave HUD authority to collect an annual fee of up to 1 percent (100 basis points), and this fee is currently set at 15 basis points. To ensure that budgetary resources are sufficient to meet program demand, HUD will raise the annual fee to 25 basis points in 2017—a modest increase of 10 basis points from the current level. For the typical homebuyer, this change will translate into an $11 increase in their monthly mortgage payment. HUD will consult with tribes prior to implementation of this policy.

The Budget also proposes statutory changes to reduce program losses and protect the Section 184 Fund, including HUD authority to: 1) seek indemnification for any loss on a mortgage that was not originated in accordance with HUD requirements; and 2) terminate lenders from the direct guarantee process if mortgages originated by a lender present an unacceptable risk to the Section 184 Fund based on comparisons with other lenders or evidence of fraud. In addition, the Budget updates several statutory program definitions to align them with the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act.

The 2017 Budget provides $335 million for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program, the only Federal program dedicated to address the housing needs of low-income Americans living with HIV and AIDS. HOPWA funding provides States and localities with resources to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for planning and providing housing and supportive services to meet the housing needs of persons living with HIV and AIDS and their families. HOPWA funds have been demonstrated to help reduce the risk of homelessness, increase housing stability, and improve access to HIV care and health outcomes for program participants.

Ninety percent of HOPWA funds are distributed to States and eligible metropolitan areas according to a formula, which is based on cumulative AIDS cases. The remaining ten percent are awarded competitively to States, local governments, and private nonprofit entities for projects of national significance and long-term comprehensive strategies for projects in non-formula areas. The statutory HOPWA formula does not reflect the current nature and distribution of the epidemic. To modernize the program, the Budget is proposing an updated formula based on cases of persons living with HIV and adjusted for an area's fair market rent and poverty rates, focusing HOPWA funds on areas that have the most need. The proposal also includes several changes that will allow better targeting of HOPWA resources and more flexibility for grantees to provide the most cost-effective, timely interventions.

HUD is working in partnership with Federal agencies through the HIV Care Continuum to improve outcomes that promote greater achievements in viral suppression through the coordination and alignment of housing support with medical care for people living with HIV. Furthermore, HUD is placing greater emphasis on coordinating local planning and service delivery of HOPWA housing resources with local homeless Continuums of Care. This effort is expected to increase local collaborations in the delivery of housing and services, and reduce duplication of local systems of support.

The Budget includes $2.8 billion for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, an additional $80 million for the Indian CDBG program, and legislative changes related to the CDBG and CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) programs.

CDBG.—The CDBG program provides over 1,250 annual formula grants to States, local governments, and Insular Areas to benefit mainly low- to moderate-income persons, and support a wide range of community and economic development activities, such as public infrastructure improvements (which account for approximately 33 percent of all CDBG funds), housing rehabilitation and construction (approximately 25 percent of funds), job creation and retention, and public services (e.g., child care). Seventy percent of CDBG formula grants are distributed to mainly urban areas (entitlement communities), and 30 percent are distributed to States (non-entitlement communities).

HUD has developed a set of legislative proposals to ensure the program delivers value and results to the nation's communities, and more specifically to low- and moderate-income populations. These legislative changes will reduce the number of small grantees to better align program operations with the current funding level; help grantees target funding resources to areas of greatest need; enhance program accountability; synchronize critical program cycles with the consolidated plan cycle; and provide more options for regional coordination, administration, and planning. Regional coordination will allow grantees to achieve administrative savings and pool resources to make strategic investment decisions. The Department will also evaluate a series of potential regulatory updates to the CDBG program, as significant portions of the CDBG regulations have not been updated in more than 20 years.

The Budget proposes to increase the set-aside for colonias to allow more funding to be directed to these rural border communities, many of which lack adequate water and sewer systems and/or decent housing. This change would increase the maximum set-aside for the colonias from 10 percent to 15 percent, and would affect the state CDBG programs of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

The Budget proposes to make the CDBG program part of the Upward Mobility Project, a new initiative to allow states, localities or consortia of the two to blend funding across four block grants, including the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Social Services Block Grant and Community Services Block Grant, as well as HUD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program and CDBG, that share a common goal of promoting opportunity and reducing poverty. In exchange for more accountability for results, state and localities would be able to use the funds beyond the current allowable purposes of these programs to implement evidence-based or promising strategies for helping individuals succeed in the labor market and improving economic mobility, children's outcomes, and the ability of communities to expand opportunity. Participating communities would also be eligible to receive a total of $1.5 billion over five years in new funding through HHS in addition to flexibility with currently provided resources.

In 2016 and 2017, the Department will work with grantees to promote the use of CDBG funds to address a range of Administration policy priorities. Consistent with the Administration's Build America Initiative launched in 2014, HUD will continue efforts to promote the use of CDBG funds to support infrastructure pre-development and resilient infrastructure. HUD will also work with select grantees to promote: 1) a more integrated approach to the consolidated plan process, 2) innovative strategies to help address the lack of affordable housing units, and 3) implementation of place-based strategies.

Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG).—The Budget includes $80 million for the ICDBG program. This program provides grants to help develop viable American Indian and Alaska Native Communities with decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. Within this program, up to $20 million will be used for projects that directly support Native youth, such as community facilities, pre-school centers, and transitional housing, and to attract and retain high-quality teachers in Indian Country by improving the availability and physical condition of teacher housing. This set-aside is one of several investments supporting Generation Indigenous, an Administration initiative focused on removing barriers to success for Native youth.

CDBG Disaster Recovery.—Since 2000, over $45 billion in CDBG Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding has been provided to communities impacted by major disasters, and CDBG-DR has played an increasingly significant role in long-term recovery. To ensure a more orderly and efficient recovery process, in 2016, the Administration will work with agencies across the Federal Government, as well as public stakeholders to develop a standing authorization proposal for the provision of CDBG-DR funds. This proposed authorization would incorporate lessons learned from previous disasters, provide clarity and predictability over CDBG-DR funding and program guidelines, and improve the alignment of CDBG-DR funds with other Federal disaster programs.

The Budget also proposes to consolidate administrative funds that are associated with specific CDBG-DR supplemental appropriations to support the Department's oversight of the full and growing CDBG-DR portfolio.

This account contains previously appropriated CDBG-DR funding. The majority of these balances are from the $15.2 billion in CDBG-DR funding (post-sequestration) provided by Public Law 113–2 to support communities affected by Hurricane Sandy and other Presidentially-declared disasters that occurred in calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013. This includes $1 billion that was recently awarded through the National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC) to rebuild disaster-impacted areas, while also supporting innovative resilience projects, policy changes and activities that better prepare communities for for the future impacts of extreme weather and climate change. This account also contains $300 million in CDBG-DR funding appropriated in 2016 (Public Law 114–113) for relief from the consequences of Hurricane Joaquin, Hurricane Patricia, and other flood events in 2015.

The 2017 Budget requests no funding for the Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI), which was a competitive grant program designed to assist cities with the redevelopment of brownfield sites for the purposes of economic development and job creation. Local governments have access to other public and private funds, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, for similar purposes. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113–235) permanently rescinded all unobligated balances of BEDI funds, including carryover and recaptures.

For the HOME Investment Partnerships program, as authorized under title II of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, as amended, $950,000,000, to remain available until September 30, [2019] 2020: Provided, [That notwithstanding the amount made available under this heading, the threshold reduction requirements in sections 216(10) and 217(b)(4) of such Act shall not apply to allocations of such amount: Provided further,] That the requirements under provisos 2 through 6 under this heading for fiscal year 2012 and such requirements applicable pursuant to the "Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013", shall not apply to any project to which funds were committed on or after August 23, 2013, but such projects shall instead be governed by the Final Rule titled "Home Investment Partnerships Program; Improving Performance and Accountability; Updating Property Standards" which became effective on such date: Provided further, That [with respect to funds made available under this heading pursuant to such Act and funds provided in prior and subsequent appropriations acts that were or are used by community land trusts for the development of affordable homeownership housing pursuant to section 215(b) of such Act, such community land trusts, notwithstanding section 215(b)(3)(A) of such Act, may hold and exercise purchase options, rights of first refusal or other preemptive rights to purchase the housing to preserve affordability, including but not limited to the right to purchase the housing in lieu of foreclosure: Provided further, That the Department shall notify grantees of their formula allocation within 60 days of enactment of this Act] funds provided in prior appropriations Acts for technical assistance, that were made available for Community Housing Development Organizations technical assistance, and that still remain available, may be used for HOME technical assistance notwithstanding the purposes for which such amounts were appropriated: Provided further, That of the total amount provided under this heading, $10,000,000 shall be made available to the Self-help Homeownership and Assisted Homeownership Opportunity Program as authorized under section 11 of the Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996, as amended.

The Budget requests $950 million for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), of which $10 million is set aside for the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP). The HOME program provides flexible annual formula grant assistance to States and units of local government to increase the supply of affordable housing and expand homeownership for low- to very-low income persons through a wide range of activities that build, buy, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing. Sixty percent of the formula grant funds is awarded to participating local governments and 40 percent is awarded to states. Projects funded by HOME often leverage private dollars and are used in conjunction with other funds such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), Community Development Block Grant, and local funds. Over time, the requested HOME funding is estimated to result in the production of approximately 34,000 units of affordable housing through new construction, rehabilitation, and/or acquisition. It is also estimated that communities will use a portion of their funding to support tenant-based rental assistance for approximately 7,800 units.

The 2017 Budget proposes statutory changes that would eliminate the 24-month commitment requirement; eliminate the 15 percent Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) set-aside; establish a single qualification threshold of $500,000 irrespective of the appropriation amount; revise the current "grandfathering" provision so that participating jurisdictions that fall below the threshold three years out of a five-year period are ineligible for direct formula funds; and allow recaptured HOME CHDO technical assistance funds be reallocated as HOME technical assistance funds. When implemented, these changes will improve the targeting focus and effectiveness of the overall administration of the program.

In addition, the HOME program is part of the proposed Upward Mobility Project, a new initiative to allow states, localities or consortia of the two to blend funding across four block grants, including the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Social Services Block Grant and Community Services Block Grant, as well as HUD's Community Development Block Grant and HOME, that share a common goal of promoting opportunity and reducing poverty. In exchange for more accountability for results, state and localities would be able to use the funds beyond the current allowable purposes of these programs to implement evidence-based or promising strategies for helping individuals succeed in the labor market and improving economic mobility, children's outcomes, and the ability of communities to expand opportunity. Participating communities would also be eligible to receive a total of $1.5 billion in new funding over five years through HHS, in addition to flexibility with currently provided resources.

SHOP is a competitive grant program that provides funds to increase the ability of non-profit organizations to assist low-income homebuyers willing to contribute "sweat equity" toward the construction of their homes. Communities can further leverage SHOP grants by using other sources of funding, including HOME funds, which can also be used for sweat equity projects. The Budget also proposes statutory changes that would improve the administration of the SHOP program. These include allowing HUD to develop program regulations, extending the standard grant term to 36 months, establishing a deadline for completion of SHOP units, and explicitly including planning, administrative, and management costs as eligible activities, to be capped at 20 percent.

The 2017 Budget proposes a $300 million mandatory appropriation for a new Local Housing Policy Grants program. This program would provide grants to localities and regional coalitions of localities to support new policies, programs, or regulatory initiatives that create a more elastic and diverse housing supply. The goal of this initiative is to demonstrate that concentrated and coordinated efforts across a number of housing markets can significantly expand the supply and affordability of housing, increase access to jobs, and fuel economic growth. This program would support a range of activities that reduce barriers to housing development, such as design options, process changes, and land use regulations, and funds would be used to support related investments, including infrastructure expansion and/or improvement, market evaluation, code writing assistance, and stakeholder education and outreach. The funds would also establish a learning network that would provide ongoing capacity building, facilitate shared learning opportunities, and disseminate best practices.

The 2017 Budget requests no separate funding for the Self-Help and Assisted Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) account. Instead, funding for the SHOP program is included as part of the request for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. Funding for capacity building activities is included as part of the request for the Research and Technology (R&T) account. Within the R&T account, HUD will continue its integrated approach to technical assistance and capacity building, including activities to develop, enhance, and strengthen the technical and administrative capabilities of community development corporations to carry out community development and affordable housing activities for low- and moderate-income persons that support and address local needs and priorities.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was first authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and funded at $3.92 billion. In response to the foreclosure crisis, HERA directed HUD to develop a formula to distribute the funds to State and local governments with the greatest need. Grantees were allowed to use NSP funds for a number of eligible activities, including establishing financing mechanisms; purchasing and rehabilitating abandoned or foreclosed properties; establishing land banks; demolishing blighted structures; and redeveloping vacant or demolished property.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) made several changes to the NSP program as enacted by HERA and appropriated an additional $2 billion in funding for the NSP program. The ARRA funding for the second round of NSP funding (NSP2) is reflected within the Community Development Fund account.

The Dodd-Frank Financial Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) appropriated an additional $1 billion for a third iteration of NSP (NSP3) in July 2010.

As of December 2015, NSP grantees had expended (including program income) an amount equivalent to 116 percent of the total program funds allocated for all iterations of NSP. Grantees have approximately $185 million in NSP-generated program income that must be expended prior to drawing down the remaining grant funds that are reflected in this account. HUD is closely monitoring efforts to expend these funds consistent with NSP requirements and the Department's timeline for closing out all grants.

The Homeless Assistance Grants account provides funds for the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Continuum of Care (CoC) programs. These programs, which award funds through formula and competitive processes, enable localities to shape and implement comprehensive, flexible, coordinated approaches to address the multiple issues of homelessness.

The 2017 Budget provides $2.664 billion for a wide range of activities to assist homeless persons and prevent future occurrences of homelessness. The Budget supports $2.387 billion for the CoC program, including funding for competitive renewals, new permanent supportive housing for persons experiencing chronic homelessness, new rapid rehousing for families with children experiencing homelessness, and projects targeted to youth experiencing homelessness; $270 million for ESG formula funding for communities to address emergency needs such as emergency shelter, street outreach, essential services, homelessness prevention, and rapid rehousing; and $7 million for the National Homeless Data Analysis Project.

The 2017 Budget sustains funding to support programs dedicated to ending veteran homelessness, and makes further progress toward the Administration's goals of ending chronic homelessness and ending homelessness for families, youth and children. In addition to targeted increases in HUD's Homeless Assistance Grants, the Budget provides 10,000 new Housing Choice Vouchers targeted to homeless families with children. Complementing these investments, the Budget also includes an $11 billion mandatory proposal over ten years to reach and maintain the goal of ending homelessness among families with children by 2020, as described under the "Homeless Assistance for Families" account.

The 2017 Budget also proposes a series of legislative changes to address emerging program needs. These changes would: 1) allow for more timely and effective property reviews under Title V of the McKinney-Vento Act, which enables eligible organizations to use unutilized, underutilized, excess, or surplus Federal properties as facilities that assist homeless persons; 2) allow CoC grantees to receive one-year transition grants, which will better allow projects to maintain service to program participants as those projects transition from one CoC program component to another (e.g., from transitional housing to permanent supportive housing); and 3) allow public housing agencies (PHAs) to be eligible subrecipients of ESG program funds, since PHAs are highly qualified homeless services providers in many communities.

The Budget proposes $11 billion over ten years to reach and maintain the goal of ending homelessness among all of America's families in 2020. This significant investment builds on the success of ending veteran homelessness in communities across the country, and is informed by recent research that found that families who utilized vouchers — compared to alternative forms of homeless assistance — had fewer incidents of homelessness, child separations, intimate partner violence and school moves, less food insecurity, and generally less economic stress. This investment will enable communities to properly scale their response to family homelessness and significantly expand the availability of rapid rehousing and Housing Choice Vouchers, serving an estimated 550,000 vulnerable families with children experiencing homelessness over the next ten years. These two interventions offer the most flexible, targeted, and cost effective interventions for communities seeking to move families out of emergency shelter quickly and into their own permanent housing units. Rapid rehousing offers time-limited rental assistance and case management services designed to help families stabilize in housing and connect to other needed services in the community. The Housing Choice Voucher program offers a permanent housing subsidy that can be coordinated with supportive services funded through other resources, including mainstream systems.

Complementing this mandatory proposal, the Budget provides targeted discretionary increases to address homelessness, including 10,000 new vouchers targeted to homeless families with children (in the Housing Choice Voucher account), 25,500 new units of permanent, supportive housing to end chronic homelessness, $25 million to test innovative projects that support homeless youth, and 8,000 new units of rapid rehousing (in the Homeless Assistance Grants account).

The Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110–252) provided $73 million for permanent supportive housing assistance as referenced in the Road Home Program of the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA). Of the total amount appropriated, $50 million was for permanent supportive housing, serving approximately 1,000 homeless individuals and families living with disabilities. The LRA is eligible to apply for Homeless Assistance Grants to renew this assistance. Additionally, this account provided $23 million in project-based rental assistance vouchers to LRA to support an estimated 2,000 elderly and disabled disaster victims, as authorized. Beginning in 2010, these vouchers have been renewed within the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance account upon the termination of the original subsidy.

The Revolving Fund (liquidating programs) was established by the Independent Offices Appropriations Act of 1955 for the efficient liquidation of assets acquired under a number of housing and urban development programs, all of which are no longer active. For example, the Section 312 loan program portfolio, which provided first and junior lien financing at below market interest rates for the rehabilitation of homes in low-income neighborhoods, constituted a large portion of the account activities but has not originated new loans for over 20 years. The operational expenses are financed from a permanent, indefinite appropriation to administer the remaining repayments of loans, recaptures, and lien releases in the portfolio. Any remaining unobligated balances in the account are returned to the Treasury annually.

The Community Development Loan Guarantee program (Section 108) supports economic development projects, housing rehabilitation, and the rehabilitation, construction or installation of public facilities for the benefit of low- to moderate-income persons or to aid in the prevention of slums.

On November 3, 2015, the Department issued a final rule in the Federal Register to allow HUD to collect fees to offset credit subsidy costs such that the program operates at a zero credit subsidy cost. The Budget proposes a guaranteed loan limit of $300 million, with a fee of 2.59 percent of the principal amount of the loan for fiscal year 2017. The Budget also proposes legislative changes to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to permanently allow for the new fee structure.

The Housing Trust Fund was authorized by section 1131 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–289), which directed the account to be funded from assessments on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, suspended these assessments in November 2008. In December 2014, FHFA announced that the assessments would be reinstated effective January 2015, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by FHFA.

The Budget estimates that $136 million will be allocated to the Housing Trust Fund in 2017 to provide grants to States to increase and preserve the supply of affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities for extremely low-income families. This allocation is in addition to the estimated $170 million that will be made available in 2016. Funds will be distributed by formula to States or State-designated entities to be used primarily for the construction, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing, with up to ten percent of the funding for similar eligible activities that support homeownership.

The Budget requests $10.816 billion for Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA), of which $400 million is requested as an advance appropriation to become available in 2018. The PBRA program assists approximately 1.2 million extremely low- to low-income households in obtaining decent, safe, and sanitary housing in private accommodations. PBRA serves families, elderly and disabled households and provides transitional housing for the homeless. Through this funding, HUD supports approximately 17,200 contracts with private owners of multifamily housing by paying the difference between what a household can afford, generally 30 percent of its eligible income, and the approved market-based rent for a housing unit. The Budget continues to support the program's calendar year funding cycle and provides 12 months of funding for all contracts from January through December 2017.

The Budget proposes legislative reform to HUD's core rental assistance programs, namely increasing the threshold used to determine deductions for unreimbursed medical expenses from 3 to 10 percent of family income. The Budget also includes a proposal to expand HUD's authority to seek double the specified financial damages when project owners fail to maintain their properties in accordance with program requirements, to include PBRA, Section 202, and Section 811. This proposal is part of a larger effort being undertaken by HUD to evaluate and strengthen enforcement authorities across its portfolio of assisted properties, including a potential rulemaking to update Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) physical inspection criteria. Finally, the Budget proposes technical amendments to the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act (LIHPRHA) to align with amendments made by the FAST Act (Public Law 114–94), to support effective implementation of owner distribution policies, and to encourage preservation transactions that maintain property affordability.

Contract Renewals and Amendments.—These activities provide funding for HUD to renew expiring contracts and amend contracts that have not expired but require additional funding for HUD to meet remaining payment obligations. Appropriations for these activities are supplemented with recoveries of excess balances remaining on expired contracts that utilized less than anticipated resources during their initial terms.

Contract Administrators.—This activity funds the local level administration of the program through HUD agreements with performance-based contract administrators (PBCAs). These entities, which are typically public housing authorities or state housing finance agencies, are responsible for conducting on-site management reviews of assisted properties; adjusting contract rents; reviewing, processing, and paying monthly vouchers submitted by owners; renewing contracts with property owners; and responding to health and safety issues at properties. In 2017, the Budget requests up to $235 million for PBCAs from the PBRA account, in addition to $60 million in anticipated recaptures in the Housing Certificate Fund to supplement the requested appropriation.

Tenant Resource Network.—The Budget provides up to $4 million in 2017 for technical assistance to tenant groups, nonprofit groups, and public entities to support their efforts to preserve affordability of assisted properties and improve tenant services.

For amendments to capital advance contracts for housing for the elderly, as authorized by section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended, and for project rental assistance for the elderly under section 202(c)(2) of such Act, including amendments to contracts for such assistance and renewal of expiring contracts for such assistance for up to a 1-year term, and for senior preservation rental assistance contracts, including renewals, as authorized by section 811(e) of the American Housing and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000, as amended, and for supportive services associated with the housing, [$432,700,000] $505,000,000 to remain available until September 30, [2019] 2020: Provided, That of the amount provided under this heading, up to [$77,000,000] $75,000,000 shall be for service coordinators and the continuation of existing congregate service grants for residents of assisted housing projects: Provided further, That amounts under this heading shall be available for Real Estate Assessment Center inspections and inspection-related activities associated with section 202 projects: Provided further, That the Secretary may waive the provisions of section 202 governing the terms and conditions of project rental assistance, except that the initial contract term for such assistance shall not exceed 5 years in duration: Provided further, That upon request of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, project funds that are held in residual receipts accounts for any project subject to a section 202 project rental assistance contract, and that upon termination of such contract are in excess of an amount to be determined by the Secretary, shall be remitted to the Department and deposited in this account, to be available until September 30, [2019] 2020: Provided further, That amounts deposited in this account pursuant to the previous proviso shall be available, in addition to the amounts otherwise provided by this heading, for [amendments and renewals] the purposes authorized under this heading: Provided further, That unobligated balances, including recaptures and carryover, remaining from funds transferred to or appropriated under this heading [shall be available for amendments and renewals] in prior appropriations Acts may be used for the current purposes authorized under this heading notwithstanding the purposes for which such funds originally were appropriated.

Since 1959, the Housing for the Elderly program (Section 202) has supported the construction and operation of supportive housing for very low-income elderly households, including the frail elderly. The Budget provides $505 million for this program, including $427 million to renew and amend operating subsidy contracts for existing Section 202 housing, $75 million to support service coordinators who work on-site to help residents obtain critical services, and $3 million for property inspections and related expenses. Consistent with the 2016 Appropriations Act, the request for contract renewals and amendments under this account includes amounts for Senior Preservation Rental Assistance Contracts (SPRACs). HUD will continue the execution of a five-year Supportive Housing demonstration with funding provided for this purpose as authorized in 2014; no additional funding is requested. The demonstration is testing whether housing and supportive services with a health/wellness component can successfully and cost-effectively help elderly residents maintain their housing and health while avoiding costly institutional care. The Budget supports preservation of Section 202 properties through the expansion of the Rental Assistance Demonstration program to include elderly properties developed through the Capital Advance program. The Budget also seeks renewed authority to make better use of existing resources. HUD will identify residual receipts collections, recaptures, and other unobligated balances to redirect as additional investments in SPRACs, Service Coordinators, or other authorized purposes.

The Budget also includes a proposal to expand HUD's authority to seek double the specified financial damages when project owners fail to maintain their properties in accordance with program requirements, to include Section 202, Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811), and Project-Based Rental Assistance. Finally, the Budget proposes to expand the list of violations that may incur a monetary penalty of Section 202 property owners to include failure to maintain the property.

The Housing Counseling Assistance Program provides comprehensive housing counseling services to eligible homeowners and tenants through grants, oversight, technical assistance and training to non-profit intermediaries, state governmental entities, and other agencies with a local or national presence. Eligible housing counseling activities include pre- and post-purchase homeownership education and counseling, personal financial management, reverse mortgage counseling, foreclosure prevention, loss mitigation, homelessness prevention, and rental counseling. The objectives of the Housing Counseling program include overcoming barriers to stable and affordable housing, expanding sustainable homeownership opportunities, preventing foreclosure, and deterring discrimination, scams and fraud.

The 2017 Budget includes $47 million for this program, the bulk of which funds grants to HUD-approved Housing Counseling agencies for direct services. In particular, the Office of Housing Counseling is focused on expanding the number of counseled FHA borrowers and increasing access to resources that create more sustainable housing opportunities for households. As the economy improves and the number of first-time homebuyers increases, the need and demand for housing counseling will increase as well.

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Housing Counseling Assistance Program is implementing and overseeing the individual testing and certification of all housing counselors providing HUD-approved counseling and will launch the Office of Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee.

Rent Supplement.—Rent Supplement assistance payments will continue to be made on behalf of qualified low-income tenants in assisted units that have not converted to Section 8.

Section 235.—The Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 1983 (Public Law 98–181) authorized a restructured Section 235 (Homeownership Assistance) program that provided homeowners a ten-year interest reduction subsidy on their mortgages.

Section 236.—The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, authorizes the Section 236 Rental Housing Assistance Program, which subsidizes the monthly mortgage payment that an owner of a rental or cooperative project is required to make. This interest subsidy reduces rents for lower income tenants. Some Section 236 properties also have rental assistance contracts with HUD through the Rental Assistance Payment (RAP) program.

As an increasing number of Rent Supplement and RAP rental assistance contracts reach the ends of their terms, HUD is taking steps to preserve this affordable housing stock. The Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) enables owners of properties with expiring Rent Supplement or RAP contracts to convert their assistance to long-term, project-based Section 8 contracts. More information on this Demonstration is available under the RAD heading.

The Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere Program, funded from 1992–1995, provided affordable homeownership opportunities for low-income families. Units were converted to homeownership from public and Indian housing properties in HOPE I, from FHA-insured and Government-held multifamily properties in HOPE II, and from Government-owned or -held single family properties in HOPE III. HOPE Grants were used for property acquisition, rehabilitation, mortgage subsidies, security measures, and technical assistance. In addition, grants have been devoted to counseling and training of residents, and other activities intended to help them become economically self-sufficient homeowners.

The Flexible Subsidy Fund assisted financially troubled subsidized projects under certain Federal Housing Administration (FHA) authorities. The subsidies were intended to prevent potential losses to the FHA fund resulting from project insolvency and to preserve these projects as a viable source of housing for low and moderate-income tenants. Priority was given to projects with Federal insurance-in-force and then to those with mortgages that had been assigned to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The HOPE for Homeowners program was created by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 to help homeowners at risk of default and foreclosure refinance into affordable, sustainable loans. Under the Program, eligible homeowners refinanced their current mortgage loans into a new mortgage insured by FHA. The program ended on September 30, 2011. This account now only reflects the liquidation of prior year obligations. In 2016, excess HOPE Bond proceeds in the amount of $455 million will be transferred to the HOPE Reserve Fund, and used to retire the HOPE Bonds. Remaining HOPE Bond activity is shown in the HOPE Reserve Fund.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provides mortgage insurance to encourage lenders to make credit available to borrowers for whom the conventional market does not adequately serve. These include first-time homebuyers, minorities, lower-income families, and residents of underserved areas (central cities and rural areas). In recent years, FHA has also provided broad access to credit as conventional financing became scarce.

In 2017, the Budget requests a limitation of $400 billion on loan guarantees for the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) Fund. The Budget projects insurance of $204 billion in single family forward mortgages and $18.5 billion in Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) with additional commitment authority available in case these amounts are exceeded during execution.

The Budget requests an appropriation of $160 million in administrative expenses, which will allow FHA to implement improved risk management and program support processes which are critical for FHA's oversight of its insured portfolio. The Budget also requests authority to charge lenders an administrative support fee on a prospective basis with a sunset expiration date, which would generate an estimated $30 million in offsetting collections in this account. These additional resources will fund enhancements to administrative contract support and information technology, with a focus on enhanced risk management tools to reduce losses to the FHA insurance fund. The Budget allows for a transfer of up to $30 million from this account to the Office of Housing Salaries and Expenses account and the Information Technology Fund. Any funds transferred will be used for FHA salaries and expenses and information technology purposes and any unobligated balances will be transferred back to the MMI Program account.

FHA has made multiple policy changes to strengthen the MMI Fund and now requires manual underwriting for loans with credit scores below 620 and debt-to-income ratios greater than 43 percent to ensure that such borrowers possess compensating factors that accord with FHA underwriting guidelines. To improve access to credit without negatively impacting the upward trajectory of the MMI Capital Reserve Fund, FHA implemented a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the annual insurance premium in January 2015.

HUD is pursuing comprehensive legislative changes to give FHA the tools it needs to build upon the many administrative steps it has taken since 2009 to improve FHA single family programs. These proposals will allow FHA to enhance enforcement, create certainty for FHA approved lenders, and increase loss mitigation opportunities for borrowers with FHA approved loans. In total, these steps will reduce losses to the MMI Fund.

Enhanced Indemnification Authority to Obtain Indemnification for Direct Endorsement Lenders.—To originate FHA insured loans, lenders must be approved by FHA to be either a Lender Insurance or a Direct Endorsement Lender. FHA can only seek indemnification from lenders with Lender Insurance approval. HUD seeks authority that would provide the ability to treat both classes of FHA approved lenders equally with respect to non-compliant loans.

Authority to Terminate Origination and Underwriting Approval.—HUD continues to seek authority to terminate lender approval on a broader geographic basis for institutions with default rates significantly higher than their peers.

Directed Sub-Servicing.—HUD seeks authority enabling FHA to, on a case by case basis, require third party servicing of loans by institutions better equipped to reduce losses to the fund and assist borrowers.

Revise FHA's Compare Ratio.—In an effort to provide greater clarity and certainty to lenders while enabling FHA to more effectively minimize poor lender performance and resulting losses, HUD seeks legislative authority to revise the calculation for the Compare Ratio to better reflect the modern lending environment.

The Capital Reserve account is the ultimate depository for all net budgetary resources collected by the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) Fund programs. Negative credit subsidy receipts from new loan guarantees and downward re-estimates as well as interest earnings on Treasury investments are recorded in this account. This account has no authority to obligate funds but transfers balances of budget authority as necessary for the cost of upward credit subsidy re-estimates to the MMI Program Account.

FHA's General Insurance and Special Risk Insurance (GI/SRI) programs provide mortgage insurance for a variety of purposes, including financing for the development and rehabilitation of multifamily housing, residential care facilities, and hospitals. The Budget requests a limitation of $30 billion on loan guarantees for the GI/SRI Fund. It does not request an appropriation of new credit subsidy funds.

In 2016, FHA will reduce upfront and annual premiums for affordable and energy efficient rental housing. For loans insured under FHA's three signature new construction/substantial rehabilitation and refinance programs, the annual premium will be reduced by a range of 10 to 40 basis points. These targeted reductions will: 1) support the production and preservation of affordable rental housing; 2) incent energy efficiency improvements in both affordable and market rate housing; and 3) improve housing choice for low-income families by tying certain premium reductions to landlord acceptance of Federal rental vouchers.

FHA is also continuing its partnership with the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) to provide FFB financing for multifamily loans guaranteed by FHA under the Section 542(b) Qualified Participating Entity and Section 542(c) Housing Finance Agency (HFA) risk sharing programs. FFB financing is designed to reduce the cost of funds supporting affordable rental housing, thereby increasing levels of rehabilitation or offsetting the need for gap financing. FFB financing is available on an interim basis until the Congress approves the proposal to permit Ginnie Mae securitization of such mortgages, which is included in a general provision at the end of this budget chapter. These FFB-financed guaranteed loans are treated as direct loans in the Budget.

The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes the development and enforcement of appropriate standards for the construction, design, and performance of manufactured homes to assure their quality, durability, affordability, and safety. All manufactured homes produced since the standards took effect in 1976 must comply with Federal construction and safety standards. Thirty-seven States participate in the program under HUD-approved State compliance plans and are reimbursed by HUD for their activities. HUD administers a compliance program for the remaining states. HUD is considering options for improving operational efficiency and program support for the Office of Manufactured Housing, including potentially transferring the responsibilities of the program to other offices within HUD.

HUD administers the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee to recommend revisions to and interpretations of the manufactured housing standards. HUD also develops and implements model standards for installation of manufactured housing, as well as an installation enforcement program. Finally, HUD administers a dispute resolution program for manufactured housing homeowners and builders.

Fees are charged to the manufacturers for each transportable section produced to offset the expenses incurred by the Department in carrying out the responsibilities under the authorizing legislation. The Budget proposes to fund the costs of authorized activities with an estimated $11.5 million in fees to ensure HUD is able to fund all of its statutory requirements. The Budget also proposes a general provision that would allow HUD to implement future fee changes via notice with comment.

The Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) was established by Federal charter in 1968. It is a wholly owned government corporation within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It was established to support Federal housing initiatives by providing liquidity to the secondary mortgage market and to attract capital from the global capital markets for the nation's mortgage markets. Its primary function is to guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) that are backed by loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Rural Development in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing.

In 2013, a Capital Reserve account was established for the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). Financial reserves of GNMA were transferred from the Reserve Receipt and Liquidating accounts to the Capital Reserve account. This mandatory account earns interest on Treasury investments and is the eventual depository for all budgetary resources collected by GNMA including negative subsidy receipts from new security guarantees, downward re-estimates and loan repayments from the Financing Account. This account has no authority to obligate funds but transfers resources to the GNMA Program Account as necessary for mandatory spending authorized in that account.

New commitments to issue guarantees to carry out the purposes of section 306 of the National Housing Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1721(g)), shall not exceed $500,000,000,000, to remain available until September 30, [2017] 2018: Provided, That $23,000,000 shall be available for necessary salaries and expenses of the Office of Government National Mortgage Association: Provided further, That to the extent that guaranteed loan commitments exceed $155,000,000,000 on or before April 1, [2016] 2017, an additional $100 for necessary salaries and expenses shall be available until expended for each $1,000,000 in additional guaranteed loan commitments (including a pro rata amount for any amount below $1,000,000), but in no case shall funds made available by this proviso exceed $3,000,000: Provided further, That receipts from Commitment and Multiclass fees collected pursuant to title III of the National Housing Act, as amended, shall be credited as offsetting collections to this account.

The Budget requests loan commitment authority of $500 billion in 2017. The Budget also requests $23 million for the personnel costs of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), to be offset by Commitment and Multiclass fees. Before 2012, personnel expenses were funded in the "Office of Government National Mortgage Association" appropriation under the Management and Administration section of the HUD budget. This funding level will enable GMNA to keep pace with growing demands and respond to the complexities of the current market, including a growing number of security issuers and the entry of new types of issuer firms, such as non-depository institutions.

The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 directs the Secretary to undertake programs of research, studies, testing, and demonstrations related to HUD's mission. These functions are carried out by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) through in-house analysis by staff; contracts with industry, nonprofit research organizations, and educational institutions; and cooperative agreements with educational, governmental, and philanthropic entities.

The 2017 Budget requests $185 million for HUD's Research and Technology (R&T) program through a combination of direct appropriations and program transfer authority. The request consists of $65 million in direct appropriations for core research support, surveys, data infrastructure, and knowledge management (i.e., research dissemination), and authority to transfer up to $120 million from various HUD program accounts to the R&T account for research, evaluations, and demonstrations ($33 million); technical assistance ($52 million); and capacity building ($35 million).

The Budget includes direct funding to restore and enhance various national housing surveys that are rich sources of data on the nation's housing stock, including the American Housing Survey, the Survey of New Home Sales and Completions, the Survey of Market Absorption of Multifamily Units, the Survey of New Manufactured Housing Placements, and the Rental Housing Finance Survey. Also included in the request is funding for knowledge management activities, for the Urban Data Systems, for housing finance studies, for Research Partnerships, and for a new category of core research support, which includes: 1) the long-term commitment to evaluate Moving-to-Work policy initiatives and expansion, and 2) research on new innovation that facilitates behavior changes among builders, property owners and tenants that results in lower consumption of carbon based energy.

Program transfers to R&T reflect HUD's enterprise-wide commitment to integrate evidence and cross-disciplinary intelligence throughout program policy, management, and operations. The transfer authority provides a devoted source of funds for three complementary purposes: 1) research, evaluations, and demonstrations; 2) technical assistance; and 3) capacity building.

The research, program evaluations, and demonstrations supported through program transfers to R&T complement the data infrastructure activities of the R&T direct appropriation. PD&R's intent is to fund priority research guided by HUD's Research Roadmap, and to complete and leverage previously initiated research efforts before beginning new projects.

Technical assistance supported by program transfer funding has allowed HUD to support its partners with better coordinated, cross-program TA rather than the conventional, program-oriented technical assistance. Because HUD's mission for affordable housing and community development is carried out in a complex community environment, the more comprehensive approach is valuable for helping grantees, PHAs, and other partners implement programs in an informed, aligned, and holistic way.

The proposed program transfers will also support activities previously funded through the Self-Help and Assisted Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) account to enhance the capacity and ability of community development corporations (CDCs) and community housing development organizations (CHDOs) to carry out community development and affordable housing activities that benefit low-income persons.

The following table illustrates the estimated transfers from HUD's programs into the R&T account in fiscal year 2017.

The Budget requests $70 million for fair housing activities to support efforts to end housing discrimination. Of the amount requested, $21.9 million is for the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP), $46 million is for the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP), $1.8 million is for the National Fair Housing Training Academy, and $300 thousand is for the Limited English Proficiency Initiative (LEPI).

FHAP, authorized by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, provides funding to State and local agencies to assure prompt and effective processing of complaints under substantially equivalent State and local fair housing laws. To be eligible for assistance through FHAP, an agency must demonstrate that the fair housing law it administers is substantially equivalent to the Fair Housing Act. It is estimated that there will be a total of 89 FHAP jurisdictions in 2017. The funding requested for FHAP will support fair housing enforcement by funding State and local fair housing organizations to meet the needs of currently underserved populations. It will also address the national and ongoing problem of discrimination against minority homebuyers and renters, as identified in the 2012 Housing Discrimination Against Racial and Ethnic Minorities Study.

FHIP, authorized by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, provides funding to States and local governments, and to public and private non-profit organizations that administer programs to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices through enforcement, education, and outreach.

The National Fair Housing Training Academy (NFTHA) provides comprehensive fair housing and civil rights training for investigators, local agencies, educators, attorneys, industry representatives and other housing industry professionals.

LEPI provides funds for oral interpretation and written translation services, which help make fair housing programs and activities accessible to people who are not proficient in English.

Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–550), known as the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, authorized the Secretary to establish the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program. The primary purpose of the program is to reduce the exposure of young children to lead-based paint and other environmental hazards in their homes, including protecting them from permanent developmental problems and asthma, and exposure to pesticides and carbon monoxide.

The program plays a critical role in addressing the number one environmental disease impacting children: lead poisoning. The Budget request of $110 million includes $83 million for HUD's Lead Hazard Control Program, $25 million for the Healthy Homes Program, and $2 million for technical studies. The Budget includes an appropriations provision that would allow the transfer of unobligated balances and recaptured funds from undersubscribed competitive programs to other competitive programs experiencing oversubscription. The Budget also includes two general provisions: the first would grant the Secretary authority to carry out investigations, administer oaths, and subpoena documents related to violations of the Lead Disclosure provision of Title X; the second would increase the threshold for requiring lead abatement to reflect inflation, providing grantees more flexibility in how they address lead-based paint in a residence. In addition, following the Budget, HUD will submit a legislative package with updates to program standards and definitions.

The Lead Hazard Control Grant Program provides grants of $1 million to $3 million to State and local governments and Indian tribes for control of lead-based paint hazards in private low-income rental and owner-occupied housing. The grants are also designed to facilitate the development of a housing maintenance and rehabilitation workforce trained in lead-safe work practices and a certified hazard evaluation and control industry. In awarding grants, HUD promotes the use of new, low-cost approaches to hazard control that can be replicated across the nation.

The Healthy Homes Program enables the Department to assess and control housing-related hazards that contribute to childhood diseases and injuries. With funding from this program, grantees implement and evaluate methods for controlling two or more housing-related diseases through a single intervention.

The Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes will continue its Technical Support program, which includes public education; support for State and local agencies, private property owners, HUD programs and field offices and professional organizations; technical studies to improve program policy and implementation; quality control to ensure that the evaluation and control of lead-based paint hazards is done properly in HUD-assisted housing; and development of standards, technical guidance, regulations and improved testing and hazard control methods.

The Transformation Initiative (TI) was initiated in 2010 to increase the effectiveness of HUD's program and service delivery, improve program outcomes, and enable innovative approaches to address the Nation's housing and urban development problems. A central concept of TI was to make the Department's investments increasingly coordinated, efficient, and effective though focused investments in three complementary purposes: 1) research and evaluation, 2) program demonstrations, and 3) technical assistance and capacity building for HUD's customers and partners. The Budget does not request funding or transfer authority for the Transformation Initiative. Instead, the Budget requests the authority to transfer a portion of program funds to the Office of Policy Development and Research's Research and Technology account to support continued investments in these important activities.

"(i) cities that are the most populous unit of general local government in a metropolitan statistical area with a population greater than 500,000, as determined by data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau, and more than 2,000 persons living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), using the data specified in subparagraph (C); and

"(ii) States with more than 2,000 persons living with HIV outside of metropolitan statistical areas; and

"(D) HOUSING COST FACTOR.—For purposes of allocations under subparagraph (B), the Secretary shall use a housing cost factor to account for differences in housing costs among States and metropolitan statistical areas. The housing cost factor shall be based on the fair market rents established by the Secretary pursuant to section 8(c) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f(c)) or such other methodology established by the Secretary through regulation.

"(E) COMMUNITY NEED.—For purposes of allocations under subparagraph (B), the Secretary shall use a community need factor to account for differences in poverty rates among States and metropolitan statistical areas.

"(C) REALLOCATIONS.—If an eligible State or city declines a formula allocation, or the Secretary determines, in accordance with criteria specified in regulation, that the eligible State or city is unable to properly administer its formula allocation, the Secretary shall reallocate the reserved funds to be administered in place of the State or city. The Secretary shall make the reallocations as follows:

When the metropolitan statistical area spans two or more states, the funds shall be reallocated pro rata based on the relative number of HIV cases or in accordance with other indications of need as prescribed by the Secretary. The state(s) shall use such reallocated funds to carry out eligible activities that address the needs within the metropolitan statistical area in which the city is located.
