For example, it contains provisions that could reduce the potential for defaults or foreclosures in three government-sponsored loan programs: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) insured multifamily loans, HUD-guaranteed Community Development Block Grant loans, and the Farmers Home Administration's rural housing loans. It would improve HUD's efficiency in assisting lower-income households by merging the HUD tenant-based certificate and voucher assistance programs. It also authorizes more funding for homelessness assistance programs. On the other hand, GAO is concerned about how the certificate and voucher assistance programs and the homeless assistance programs can best be structured to meet the needs of program recipients while minimizing administrative burdens on HUD staff and program recipients. Congressional monitoring of both the Community Development Block Grant and HUD's multifamily loan programs will ensure that continued delinquencies, defaults, and foreclosures do not threaten the program's effectiveness. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-148/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-148.htm GAO/T-RCED-94-148 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-94-148 Testimony GAO/T-RCED-94-148; Housing Issues: The Housing and Community Development Act of 1994; Community development Grant administration Interagency relations Housing programs Rental housing Federal property management Loan defaults Economic development Low income housing Proposed legislation Community Development Block Grant Urban Development Action Grant HUD Section 8 Certificate Program HUD Section 8 Voucher Program HUD Section 8 Rental Assistance Program
