GAO noted that: (1) HUD has requested about $22 billion in discretionary budget authority and plans about $33 billion in discretionary outlays; (2) overly optimistic cost control assumptions about the major restructuring of the multifamily housing program could affect the HUD budget request for rental assistance for low-income families; (3) HUD has requested $845 million in bonus funding for high-performing grantees in some its new block grants; (4) implementing HUD performance funds will be complicated and time-consuming; and (5) HUD has proposed various internal controls to address management deficiencies. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-194/html/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-194.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-194/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-194.pdf GAO/T-RCED-96-194 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-RCED-96-194 Other Written Product GAO/T-RCED-96-194; Housing and Urban Development: Comments on HUD's FY 1997 Budget Request; Presidential budgets Housing programs Internal controls Cost control Federal agency reorganization Block grants Federal aid for housing Reengineering (management) Future budget projections HUD Multifamily Coinsurance Program HUD Multifamily Housing Loan Program HUD Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities Program HUD Public Housing Management Assessment Program Housing Certificate Fund
