DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
This chapter presents the budget and program estimates
for the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD).
For the past 4 years, the Department has been engaged
in a reinvention process which has emphasized: addressing
homelessness through comprehensive continuum of care strategies; transforming public and assisted housing; enhancing
homeownership opportunities through new national and local
partnerships; reducing racial barriers to housing; and, encouraging locally-driven solutions and leveraging private sector
investment through initiatives like consolidated planning, and
Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities. Emphasis
has also been placed on reinventing HUD, itself. The 1999
Budget continues to move toward a ‘‘right-side up’’ Cabinet
Department that is organized, staffed, and empowered to respond to locally driven priorities rather than Federal dictates.
The 1999 Budget request would continue funding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program at an increased level. This program will continue to use a formula
approach for allocating funds for a wide range of community
and economic development activities. The Community Development Loan Guarantee program will also be maintained to
enable communities to borrow in the private market with
a Federal guarantee. Communities must develop consolidated
plans which identify local needs and priorities in order to
tap into CDBG and other HUD funds.
The HOME Investment Partnerships program will also continue formula allocations to states and participating jurisdictions to assist in expanding the supply of affordable housing.
The Homeless Assistance Grants program consolidated
HUD’s six Stewart B. McKinney homeless assistance programs. This program enables communities to continue their
development and implementation of comprehensive, coordinated continuum of care systems to address the needs of
homeless people and families. Homeless programs are maintained in their current structure although they are increased
and augmented by incremental vouchers.
Major changes in funding levels and approach will occur
in community and economic development programs. Significant funding is included for an Economic Development Initiative/Community Empowerment Fund program to finance a
variety of economic development efforts and to help establish
a secondary market for expanded and improved operation
of the Section 108 Loan Guarantee program. Proposed as
separate programs are: Lead Hazard Reduction, Homeownership Zones, and Urban Empowerment Zones, (which is proposed as a ten year mandatory program). Several set-asides
remain within the block grant program including Regional
Connections, Supportive Services, Section 107 and Grants to
Indian tribes.
The HOPE VI, Public and Indian Housing Operating Fund,
and the Public Housing Capital Fund retain their current
form. In total, the budget will provide almost 140,000 new
or replacement subsidies and would provide for the renewal
of all expiring units. The Housing Certificate Fund and the
homeless and elderly/disabled programs account for approximately 90,000 new or replacement subsidies. Also, an Administrative Fee Bonus program is proposed as part of the President’s Housing Mobility Initiative.
In addition, a new separate account is proposed for 50,000
new Welfare-to-Work vouchers as a part of the President’s
Welfare-to-Work Initiative.
FHA and GNMA programs are retained, although the FHA
guarantee limitation is proposed to be increased to the con-

forming limit, and separate funding within the program account for contractual support is requested to conform with
credit reform rules.

The funds requested will support the following activities
for 1999:
1. Contract Renewals. Contract renewals provide funding
to renew expiring Section 8 rental assistance contracts covering certificates, vouchers, and moderate rehabilitation (renewed as certificates or vouchers), Loan Management, New
Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation, Property Disposition,
and Preservation. In 1999, $7.2 billion is requested to support
2 million units.
2. Section 8 Amendments. The need for amendment funding
results from insufficient funding being provided for long-term
contracts funded in the 1970’s and 1980’s. During those years,
the Department provided contracts for terms of up to 40
years. Estimating funding needs over such a long period of
time proved to be problematic, and as a result many of these
Section 8 contracts were inadequately funded. The current
practice of providing contracts for 1-year terms helps to ensure that the problem of inadequately funded contracts is
not repeated. However, older long-term contracts must still
be provided additional funding to maintain the current inventory of assisted rental housing. For 1999, $1,800 million is
proposed for Section 8 Amendment contracts. This is partially
offset by $463 million in recaptures, resulting in a net requirement of $1,337 million in budget authority in 1999.
3. Incremental Rental Assistance. For 1999, the Department
is requesting $60 million in budget authority to support a
total of 10,655 incremental certificates and vouchers. A portion of this assistance may be used for family unification,
witness relocation, settlement of litigation, section 23 conversions, and for families exercising portability.

Public and Indian Housing
Regional Opportunity Counseling. The Department is committed to increasing the housing opportunities available to
low-income families. The Budget request includes $20 million
to pay for special counseling conducted by public housing
agencies in partnership with local non-profit agencies to expand housing opportunities and deconcentrate the number
of families living in high poverty neighborhoods.
Some of the results the Department expects to receive by
providing intense regional opportunity counseling include: (1)
expanding landlord participation in the Section 8 program
and increases in the number and diversity of neighborhoods
in which Section 8 recipients locate; (2) assisting and encouraging Section 8 families to move to low poverty neighborhoods
that offer high quality housing, education, and employment
opportunities; (3) addressing existing barriers to mobility and
choice in the Section 8 program, including administrative barriers to portability; (4) promoting greater cooperation and
joint problem-solving among Section 8 programs operating in
a metropolitan housing market; and, (5) creating or strengthening institutions that administer the Section 8 program on
a regional basis, including the provision of regional mobility
counseling.
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Coordinators. In 1990, the
National Affordable Housing Act established the Family SelfSufficiency Program. In establishing the program, Congress
mandated that any housing agency that received any funding
for rental vouchers and certificates in 1993 and subsequent
would be required to establish a self-sufficiency program
equal to the number of rental vouchers or certificates received.
Since that time Congress has appropriated funds to support
approximately one service coordinator in approximately 375
Public Housing Authorities over a 3-year period. The PHAs
that receive the special funding for FSS service coordinators
were the smallest agencies that administered less than 1,000
rental vouchers and certificates.

Federal Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

The Department is committed to administering the FSS
program for families receiving assistance under the rental
voucher and certificate programs. The request for this account
includes $24 million to allow the smallest housing agencies
to hire FSS coordinators. Under the FSS program, families
will receive job training and employment that should lead
to a decrease in their dependency on welfare programs and
move them toward economic self-sufficiency.

Housing
Tenant Protection Set-Asides. The Housing Certificate Fund
also serves a role in supporting families in FHA-insured, privately owned assisted housing projects affected by changes
in project status. It is intended that income-eligible families
who, through no fault of their own, are affected by HUD’s
management of the multifamily inventory be aided through
the Housing Certificate Fund.
The $373 million requested for 1999 Housing tenant protections will be used to provide funding for an estimated 17,000
preservation prepayment vouchers, and for 15,000 vouchers
for residents in properties which are proposed for disposition
from the assisted housing inventory, voluntarily terminating
project-based assistance, terminations due to HUD housing
quality enforcement actions, or which are undergoing portfolio
re-engineering.
Of this amount, $130 million is included for Housing tenant
protections to accommodate the more aggressive enforcement
activities of the Department, including the cost of relocating
affected families, and to address the potential need to modify
current assistance payment standards and eligibility to avoid
undue hardship or displacement of currently assisted families.
WELFARE

TO

WORK HOUSING VOUCHERS

For tenant-based assistance under the United States Housing Act
of 1937 to help eligible families make the transition from welfare
to work, $283,000,000, to be administered by public housing agencies
(including Indian housing authorities, as defined by the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development), and to remain available until
expended: Provided, That families initially selected to receive assistance under this head (a) shall be eligible to receive, shall be currently
receiving, or shall have received within the preceding year, assistance
or services funded under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF) program under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act
or as part of a State’s qualified State expenditure under section
409(a)(7)(B)(i) of such Act; (b) shall be determined by the agency
to be families for which tenant-based housing assistance is critical
to successfully obtaining or retaining employment; and (c) shall not
already be receiving tenant-based assistance: Provided further, That
each application shall (a) describe the proposed program, which shall
be developed by the public housing agency in consultation with the
State, local or Tribal entity administering the TANF program and
the entity, if any, administering the Welfare-to-Work grants allocated
by the United States Department of Labor pursuant to section
403(a)(5)(A) of the Social Security Act, and which shall take into
account the particular circumstances of the community; (b) demonstrate that tenant-based housing assistance is critical to the success
of assisting eligible families to obtain or retain employment; (c) specify
the criteria for selecting among eligible families to receive housing
assistance under this head; (d) describe the proposed strategy for tenant counseling and housing search assistance and landlord outreach;
(e) include any requests for waivers of any administrative requirements or any provisions of the United States Housing Act of 1937,
with a demonstration of how approval of the waivers would substantially further the objective of this head; (f) include certifications from
the State, local, or Tribal entity administering assistance under the
TANF program and from the entity, if any, administering the Welfareto-Work grants allocated by the United States Department of Labor,
that the entity supports the proposed program and will cooperate
with the public housing agency that administers the housing assistance to assure that such assistance is coordinated with other welfare
reform and welfare to work initiatives; however, if either does not
respond to the public housing agency within a reasonable time period,
its concurrence shall be assumed, and if either objects to the applica-

439

tion, its concerns shall accompany the application to the Secretary,
who shall take them into account in this funding decision; and (g)
include such other information as the Secretary may require and
meet such other requirements as the Secretary may establish: Provided
further, That the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Labor, shall select
public housing agencies to receive assistance under this head on a
competitive basis, taking into account the need for and quality of
the proposed program (including innovative approaches), the extent
to which the assistance will be coordinated with welfare reform and
welfare to work initiatives, the extent to which the application demonstrates that tenant-based assistance is critical to the success of assisting eligible families to obtain or retain employment, and other
appropriate criteria established by the Secretary: Provided further,
That the Secretary may waive any administrative requirement or any
provision of the United States Housing Act of 1937 if the Secretary
determines that the waiver would substantially further the objective
of the assistance under this head, and in the event of any waiver,
may make provision for alternative conditions or terms where appropriate: Provided further, That the Secretary may use up to one percent
of the amount available under this head, directly or indirectly, to
conduct detailed evaluations of the effect of providing assistance under
this head.

These funds would provide 50,000 housing vouchers to be
used to help families make the transition from welfare to
work. Lack of affordable, stable housing, or housing located
close to employment, impedes the efforts of families moving
from welfare to work. These vouchers will provide States and
communities with a new flexible tool to help families who
need housing assistance in order to achieve self-sufficiency.
The additional vouchers will be available on a competitive
basis to the local housing agencies, including Indian housing
authorities. Local housing agencies will submit an application
plan, developed in consultation with the State, local, or Tribal
welfare agency and the local Welfare-To-Work formula funds
grantee (generally the local Private Industry Council), allowing both state and local participation in the effort. The vouchers will be used where they are essential to a successful
transition from welfare to work, that is, where housing assistance is critical for a family to achieve or maintain employment. For example, a family could use a welfare-to-work housing voucher to move to an area where there are more job
opportunities, to reduce an extremely long commute, or to
stabilize its housing situation in order to improve attendance
and performance at work.
Families who receive the vouchers must initially be eligible
for, or be currently receiving, Temporary Assistance for Needy

Families (TANF) or have received TANF within the past year.
However, local agencies will have great flexibility to design
and operate the welfare-to-work voucher program within
broad national guidelines. For example, the agencies would
propose whether to focus on particular groups of welfare recipients and how to structure the assistance to meet local
needs. The application would request any waivers of administrative provisions or statutory provisions of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 that are needed to substantially further
the objectives of the program. The Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) will review and select the
local plans after consultation with the Department of Health
and Human Services and the Department of Labor. HUD
will evaluate the impact of this program.

The Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing account
provided assistance under three major categories.
Low-income housing (section 8).—Included within the section 8 category was incremental rental assistance in the form
of housing certificates and housing vouchers; Public Housing
and Housing Relocation/Replacement opt-out units; Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS; section 23 conversions;
and loan management and property disposition activities.
Housing for the elderly and disabled (section 202 and
811).—The Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing
Act authorized a grant program to make new construction
assistance available to elderly and disabled persons. Both the
grant funding and the Rental Assistance—or operating subsidy—needed to aid these low-income tenants was provided
under this account.
Public and Indian housing.—New development funding was
provided for both Public Housing and for Indian Housing
within this account. In addition, funding was provided for
public and Indian housing modernization activities and public/
Indian housing amendments and lease adjustments. Funding
was also provided for Public Housing Service Coordinators
and Family Investment Centers.
This account provided funding for a wide range of housing
assistance through the Low-Income Housing (Section 8),
Housing for the Elderly and Disabled, and the Public and
Indian Housing programs. In addition, various housing-related programs were carried out through funding provided under
this account.
The account now displays the spendout of all remaining
balances. Pursuant to P.L. 105–65: (1) all balances for Public
Housing Development, Modernization, Family Investment
Centers, Public Housing Amendments, and Leave Adjustments were transferred to the Public Housing Capital Fund;
(2) all balances for Section 8 Amendments and Contract Renewals were transferred to the Housing Certificate Fund; (3)
all balances for the Supportive Housing for the Elderly and
Supportive Housing for the Disabled were transferred to the
Housing for Special Populations account; and, (4) all balances
for Indian Housing were transferred to the Indian Housing
Block Grants account. The $550 million rescission of recaptured 1998 and prior years section 8 reserves, enacted in
the fiscal year 1998 Appropriations Act, can be found under
the Section 8 Reserve Preservation Account.

Housing Authorities (PHAs) and Tribally Designated Housing
Entities (TDHEs) for their anti-drug, anti-crime efforts. To
combat the concentration of crime in and around public housing, staff and residents use these resources to increase police
coverage and security as well as to provide alternative activities to residents. Eligible activities include reimbursing local
law enforcement for additional services, security contracts,
investigators, and training residents for volunteer resident
programs. Recent appropriation acts have expanded the definition of crime beyond drug-related patrols, physical changes
to enhance security, drug prevention, and intervention and
treatment; thus allowing housing authorities greater scope
in targeting crime and developing successful alternatives.
Of the $310 million requested in 1999, $243.8 million will
be targeted to PHA and TDHE grants and clearinghouse information services. In addition, $50 million will be available
to HUD for: (1) technical assistance, training, and information
dissemination; (2) Operation Safe Home; and, (3) the New
Approach Anti-Drug program. An additional $16.2 million is
estimated to be available for other Federally assisted lowincome housing grants.

Title I of the Native American Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–330) authorized the Native American Housing Block Grants program. This program
provides an allocation of funds on a formula basis to Indian
tribes and their tribally designated housing entities to help
them address housing needs within their communities. Indian
tribes use performance measures and benchmarks that are
consistent with the national goals of the program but can
base these measures on the needs and priorities they establish in their own Indian housing plan.
Pursuant to P.L. 105–65, all balances previously appropriated under Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing, Development of Additional New Subsidized Housing, Preserving
Existing Housing Investment, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Shelter Grants Program, and
Homeless Assistance Funds identified for Indian Housing Authorities and other agencies primarily serving Indians or Indian areas were transferred to this account.

The Low-Rent Public Housing Loan Fund provides direct
Federal loans to fund remaining Public Housing Agency and
Indian Housing Authority construction, acquisition, and modernization activities reserved under the Annual Contributions
appropriation through 1986. These loans are made from borrowings from the Treasury. Under legislation enacted during
1986 (Public Law 99–272), the borrowings from the Treasury
are forgiven at the end of each fiscal year and the loans
to PHAs/IHAs are forgiven as construction, acquisition, and
modernization activities are completed. Under the provisions
of this legislation, $85 million of borrowings from the Treasury were forgiven in 1997, an estimated $60 million will
be borrowed from the Treasury and forgiven in 1998, and
an estimated $50 million will be borrowed from the Treasury
and forgiven in 1999.
Since 1987, new reservations of capital funds for construction, acquisition, and modernization activities have been provided directly from the Annual Contributions and Public
Housing Capital Fund appropriations.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this nonbudgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of loan guarantees that resulted from obligations in any year). The
amounts in this account are a means of financing and not
included in the budget totals. As required by the Federal
Credit Reform Act of 1990, no administrative expenses can
be recorded in the financing account.
Balance Sheet (in millions of dollars)

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of guarantees that resulted from
obligations in any year). The subsidy amounts are estimated
on a net present value basis. The administrative expenses
are shown on a cash basis.
This program provides access to sources of private financing
for Indian families, Indian tribes and their tribally designated
housing entities who otherwise could not acquire housing financing because of the unique legal status of Indian trust
land.
It is anticipated that the funding requested for 1999 will
support 420 loans.

other obligations issued by Indian tribes or tribally designated
housing entities for the purposes of financing affordable housing activities described in section 202 of the Act. In 1998,
$5,000,000 was set aside for this program under the Indian
Housing Block Grants appropriation. The 1999 budget proposes a separate appropriation for this program.

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS program
was established as a separate account in 1997. All of the
balances from prior appropriations for this program have been
transferred to and merged with this account, and it is now
accounted for on an obligational basis. The purpose of the
program is to provide States and localities with resources
and incentives to devise long-term comprehensive strategies
for meeting the housing needs of persons with HIV/AIDS
and their families.
States and metropolitan areas receive 90 percent of the
funds by formula based on the incidence of HIV/AIDS in
their jurisdictions. The remaining 10 percent is awarded competitively to States, local governments, and private nonprofit
entities for projects of national significance. Awards are also
made to States and local governments for projects in jurisdictions which do not qualify for a formula allocation.

Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1974, as amended, authorizes the Secretary to make grants
to units of general local government and States to fund local
community development programs.
Funds are allocated to Indian tribes and, on an entitlement
basis, to metropolitan cities and urban counties which receive
their grants using the higher of two objective formulas. States
and small cities are also allocated a portion of the available
funds. The proposed level of funding for CDBG and the Sec-

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)—Continued

tion 108 Loan Guarantee Program will support an estimated
276,000 jobs. These funds will also help to rehabilitate
171,100 housing units.
Section 107 Grants include funding for Insular Areas, technical assistance, Historically Black Colleges and Universities,
management information systems support, and the Community Development Work Study and Community Outreach
Partnership programs.
Habitat for Humanity International would use this funding
to undertake innovative homeownership opportunities
through the provision of self-help housing, under which a
homeowner would contribute a significant amount of sweat
equity toward the construction of the new dwelling. These
decent, safe and sanitary nonluxury dwellings must be made
available to eligible homeowners at prices below prevailing
market prices. Eligible activities include land acquisition (including financing and closing costs) and infrastructure improvement (installing, extending, constructing, rehabilitating
or otherwise improving utilities and other infrastructure).
The 1999 request includes funding of $55 million for the
Resident Opportunity and Supportive Services (ROSS) program. Formerly called the Economic Development and Supportive Services (EDSS) and Tenant Opportunity Program
(TOP) programs, ROSS is intended to fuse the objectives of
the two predecessor programs. The program will also address
the expanded needs among residents and housing authorities
brought upon by welfare reform legislation that sets time
limits on how long recipients can receive welfare assistance.
Principally for the benefit of public housing residents, ROSS
grants are intended to assist the elderly and disabled, and
families with children where the head of the household is
working, seeking work, or participating in job training or
educational programs. Eligible services under ROSS include
academic skills training, residential management, microenterprise and small business development and start-ups, and social service support programs.
The Regional Connections initiative will make funds available to States and localities to develop and implement strategic plans that address key regional issues facing the nation’s
metropolitan areas and rural communities. The initiative will
help communities address the significant demographic and
economic shifts that are taking place in metropolitan regions
by encouraging regional strategies that emphasize coordinated
metropolitan economic growth and regional solutions to a
range of environmental and social equity issues.
The initiative will enable communities to address one or
more of the following topics: regional economic development
strategies, that tap the competitive advantage or location efficiency of the inner city; sustainable growth or compact development strategies; regional job training and access to work
initiatives; regional affordable housing strategies; or, other
regional concerns identified by communities themselves. Proposed outcomes include: strengthened partnerships between
city and suburban governments and their private sector partners; enhanced regional coordination of Federal resources and
planning requirements; expanded use of HUD’s existing Consolidated Planning process; and, increased community capacity to implement more comprehensive, regional solutions to
local problems.
Funds for this initiative will be distributed by competition
and are intended to: (1) maximize local innovation and creativity; (2) maximize participation by local partners, including
multiple jurisdictions and private sector and community
stakeholders; and, (3) maximize and enhance coordination
with existing planning and regional development efforts. HUD
will undertake this initiative in close cooperation with other

Funding requested for the Economic Development Initiative
(EDI)/Community Empowerment Fund (CEF) will support the
financing for a variety of economic development efforts, in
tandem with the existing Section 108 guaranteed loan program, to facilitate and encourage use of the Section 108 Program by State and local governments. The purpose of the
EDI program is to help communities enhance the security
of the Section 108 guaranteed loans and to improve the viability of projects financed with these loans.
The EDI/CEF financing will support new jobs, thereby assisting former welfare recipients to successfully move from
welfare to work. It will be used in conjunction with Section
108 Loan Guarantees to support a variety of employmentgenerating investments, including: (1) revolving loan funds
for business expansion or modernization; (2) startup funds
for new, small- and medium-sized businesses; (3) preservation
and expansion of new and existing industrial facilities; (4)
neighborhood-based commercial revitalization efforts; and, (5)
regional economic strategies. The 1999 request of $400 million
will leverage an estimated $2 billion in private sector loans
and will support an estimated 280,000 jobs when projects
are completed.
The EDI/CEF grants will include mechanisms to: (1) assist
state and local governments to standardize the underwriting
and documentation of loans to businesses in distressed areas;
(2) expand credit for economic and community development
lending; (3) augment communities’ underwriting and loan
servicing capacity; and, (4) use funds more efficiently for credit enhancement. These mechanisms will help reduce risk to
the communities’ and States’ CDBG program funds and remove the impediments to the use of Section 108.
In 1998, Congress provided $138 million for EDI, including
$100 million for Congressionally earmarked projects. The Administration has objected repeatedly to the inclusion of earmarked projects in Appropriations Acts. The Administration

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

The goal of the Empowerment Zone (EZ) initiative is to
revitalize city neighborhoods in a way that will retain and
attract middle-class residents and provide employment opportunities that will move people from welfare to work. Grant
funds will allow the 15 new urban EZs that were authorized
by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, in accordance with their
strategic plans, to create economic opportunity in America’s
distressed communities, with a special emphasis on stimulating job creation linked to welfare reform. Flexible grant funds
will be used to integrate human capital needs with economic
development initiatives.
Funding will be available for a broad range of activities
aimed at assisting residents, businesses and organizations
in urban EZs, including: community policing; health care;
neighborhood development; brownfields clean-up and redevelopment; support for financing of capital projects; education;
work force preparation and job creation efforts linked to welfare reform; repayment of debt financing by municipal bonds;

The Brownfields Redevelopment program was first provided
an initial appropriation of $25 million in 1998. The $50 million request for FY 1999 represents an acceleration of the
President’s commitment to help communities clean up and
redevelop the approximately 450,000 brownfields sites nationwide. This level of funding is expected to leverage $200 million in Section 108 loan guarantee commitments, which will
support more than 28,000 jobs.
This program provides competitive economic development
grants in conjunction with Section 108 loan guarantees for
qualified brownfield projects. Eligible communities will be invited to submit proposals to return contaminated sites to productive and employment-generating uses, with an emphasis
on creating substantial numbers of jobs for lower-income people in physically and economically distressed neighborhoods.
Grants will be made in accordance with section 108(q) selection criteria and such other criteria deemed appropriate for
brownfield projects, including the extent to which an applicant is currently operating a brownfields program and is
working with appropriate environmental regulatory agencies.
Priority would be given to those projects that are located
in designated Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities.
HOMEOWNERSHIP ZONES

mately five zones at an average of $5 million each, and would
create 1,500 new homeowners. The Homeownership Zones
program will provide flexible grants on a competitive basis
to local governments for large-scale redevelopment of abandoned neighborhoods to create viable communities of mixed
income homebuyers. Applications will be evaluated on specific
criteria, such as the degree to which the proposed activities
meet the goal of the program, the financial soundness of
the proposals, level of economic distress of the area to be
served, and the capacity of applicants to carry out the proposal. Funds will be used to create new housing opportunities
in distressed areas. Eligible activities will include: property
acquisition; housing construction; housing rehabilitation; demolition; site preparation; homeownership counseling; relocation; housing marketing; activities to further fair housing;
and, other activities essential to homeownership.

This program provides resources to educate, train, and provide stipends for economically disadvantaged young adults
through their participation in the construction and rehabilitation of housing for low-income and homeless persons. The
program has expanded the supply of affordable housing and,
at the same time, has enabled high school dropouts to obtain
the education and employment skills necessary to achieve
self-sufficiency. The 1999 request will provide 5,000–6,000
young people with skills they need to get jobs and will provide
750–800 families with homes in distressed communities.
For 1996 through 1998, funding for the Youthbuild program
was included in the Community Development Block Grants
account.

The HOME Investment Partnership program is authorized
by the National Affordable Housing Act (P.L. 101–625). This
program provides assistance to States and units of local government, through formula allocation, for the purpose of expanding the supply and affordability of housing. Eligible activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of housing and tenant-based rental assistance. The 1999
request of $1.550 billion will result in the production of 78,500
units of affordable housing through new construction, rehabilitation, or acquisition. In addition, tenant-based rental assistance will be provided for 11,200 units.
Funding is included for a new component of the HOME
program, integrating housing assistance for the elderly and
disabled into the HOME account. The consolidated program
will include project-based assistance through the current nonprofit delivery system. For the elderly, a total of $159 million
is proposed, including $50 million to fund an estimated 8,839
section 8 vouchers and 1,938 new units for the elderly. For
persons with disabilities, $174 million is proposed, of which
at least 25 percent shall be used for tenant-based rental assistance in order to provide 3,118 units for the disabled.
The HOME request also includes up to $7 million to continue to develop, implement and refine integrated community
development management information systems in order to establish a national database of local programs. Funding for
technical assistance is also included.

The Homeless Assistance Grants program consolidates the
activities of HUD’s six McKinney homeless assistance programs—Shelter Plus Care, Supportive Housing, Emergency
Shelter Grants, Section 8 Single Room Occupancy, Rural
Homeless Grants and Safe Havens—as well as those of the
Innovative Homeless Initiatives Demonstration program. This
consolidation enables localities to continue to shape and implement comprehensive, flexible, coordinated ‘‘continuum of
care’’ approaches to solving rather than institutionalizing
homelessness. In fact, over the last four years, many communities have made great strides in developing holistic continuum of care approaches to solving homelessness. A community-based process is required as part of the application process. Communities are required to include in their applications
performance measures that contain specific goals that would
accrue from the community’s efforts, and are required to demonstrate tangible results on an annual basis. Requested funding would be available for a wide range of activities to assist
homeless persons and prevent future homelessness. The 1999
request will provide between 125,000–140,000 transitional
and 59,000–62,500 permanent housing beds.
Funding is also requested for technical assistance to provide
needed assistance to grantees in resolving problems that
hinder successful project completion and implementation.
Funding for incremental housing vouchers will be used to
provide permanent housing vouchers for up to 34,000 families
or individuals who have achieved a sufficient level of independence to move to permanent housing linked to services.
These vouchers will offer the ongoing assistance so desperately needed to help move homeless people into the housing mainstream when they are ready to do so. These vouchers
are intended for homeless individuals and families who would
otherwise have the most difficult time in securing permanent
housing resources, as determined through the approved Continuum of Care strategy. Helping them secure permanent

Guaranteed Loans.—The Community Development Block
Grant program includes a guaranteed loan provision (Section
108). A commitment level of $1.3 billion is proposed for the
Community Development Loan Guarantees (Section 108) program for 1999. The credit subsidy/administrative cost estimate for the guaranteed loan program is $30 million in 1999.
Section 108 loan guarantees are used by entitlement and
nonentitlement communities (assisted by their State), to cover
the cost of: acquiring real property; rehabilitating publicly
owned real property; housing rehabilitation; and, certain other
economic development activities. In addition, Section 108 has,
in some cases, been used to finance the construction of housing by nonprofit organizations.

Guaranteed loans.—The Community Development Loan
Guarantees program provides a mechanism for the Federal
guarantee of private loans. There is an accompanying liquidating account which shows activity for Federal Financing
Bank (FFB) direct loan activity, obligated prior to July 1,
1986. Also following is a status of privately financed guaranteed loan commitments made prior to 1992.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from loan guarantees committed
in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of loan guarantees that resulted from commitments in any year). The
amounts in this account are a means of financing and are
not included in the budget totals. As required by the Federal
Credit Reform Act of 1990, no administrative expenses can
be recorded in the financing account.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from Federal Financing Bank (FFB) direct
loans for which loan guarantees were committed prior to
1992. This account is shown on a cash basis.
Guaranteed loans.—Guaranteed loan assistance under the
Community Development Loan Guarantees program is provided to eligible communities to finance economic development
activities, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, acquisition
of real property, rehabilitation of publicly owned real property, and certain related expenses. In the past, the FFB financed these guaranteed loans. The Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 required private financing
of all loan guarantees committed after July 1, 1986. FFB
will continue disbursing loans for commitments approved
prior to July 1, 1986. The activity shown in the above account
reflects privately financed guaranteed loans for which commitments were made prior to 1992.

The HOME Loan Guarantee program will complement the
existing HOME program. The proposal will authorize loan
guarantees for up to five times a Participating Jurisdiction’s
latest HOME allocation, and will enable the jurisdictions to
formulate and implement neighborhood strategies to build or
rehabilitate large numbers of units as a single undertaking
within a short period of time. A loan guarantee option would
greatly magnify the impact of HOME Federal housing dollars.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from loan guarantees committed
in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of loan guarantees that resulted from commitments in any year). The
amounts in this account are a means of financing and are
not included in the budget totals. As required by the Federal

be recorded in the financing account.

account. Renewal of prior year contracts is reflected in the
Housing Certificate Fund.
For 1999, funding is being requested for assistance on behalf of the elderly and disabled as a new component of the
HOME Investment Partnerships Program. Language is being
proposed to transfer the obligated and unobligated balances
from Housing for Special Populations to the HOME Investment Partnerships account.

The Other Assisted Housing Account contains the programs
listed below:
Rent supplement.—Rent supplement assistance payments
will continue to be made on behalf of qualified low-income
tenants in approximately 20,000 units which 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 based on a 10-year
interest reduction subsidy. This replaced earlier versions of
the program, the original and the revised versions. All were
below interest rate mortgages for single family homes.
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.
IRP Rehab Grants.—Title V of the 1998 Appropriations Act
(P.L. 105–65) establishes a program of rehabilitation grants
for owners of projects eligible for the program of multifamily
portfolio re-engineering. An estimated $727 millon of such
grants are expected in 1999.
The table below reflects the consolidated outlay total for:
the Annual Contributions for Assisted Housing account; the
Housing Certificate Fund; the Public Housing Capital Fund;
the Section 8 Reserve Preservation account; and the Other
Assisted Housing account, for 1997, 1998, and 1999.

The Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere Program provided affordable homeownership opportunities for low-income families. Units were converted to homeownership from public and Indian housing properties in
HOPE 1, from FHA-insured and Government-held multifamily properties in HOPE 2, and from Government-owned or
-held single family properties in HOPE 3. 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. No funding is
being requested for 1999. This schedule reflects the liquidation of prior year balances.

The Housing Counseling Assistance program provides comprehensive housing counseling services to eligible homeowners
and tenants, including pre-purchase, default and renter counseling.
In 1997, housing counseling was appropriated as a $15
million set-aside in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The program was funded at $20 million in 1998. The
Budget proposes Housing Counseling as a $25 million HOME
set-aside for 1999.

Under the Congregate Services program, HUD contracted
directly with local public housing agencies and section 202
housing for the elderly or disabled sponsors to supply support
services, including meals and other services. Funding for this
activity will be requested in the supportive services set-aside
within the Community Development Block Grant account for
1999. This schedule reflects the liquidation of prior year balances from the separately appropriated Congregate Services
Program.

Section 8 assistance for single room occupancy dwellings
is authorized by Title IV, subtitle E, of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, as amended by the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1992. Since 1995, these
activities have been funded in the Homeless Assistance
Grants account.

Funds were provided in 1998 to permit the Secretary, at
his discretion, to reimburse groups who submitted plans of
action under the preservation program that were not funded.
As this is a non-recurring cost, no additional funds are requested for this activity.

Section 620 of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes enforcement of appropriate construction standards for
the construction, design and performance of manufactured
homes to assure their quality, durability, and safety. All manufactured homes produced since the standards took effect on
June 15, 1976 must comply with Federal construction and
safety standards. The States are actively encouraged to participate in the program under compliance plans approved by
HUD.
A fee is charged to the manufacturers for each manufactured home produced to cover the costs of the monitoring
and enforcement activities by HUD and its contract agents.
Fees are deposited in a special fund administered by the
Department, and a portion of the fee receipts are transferred
to the salaries and expenses account to defray the direct
administrative expenses of the program. In 1997, an estimated 403,000 manufactured homes and 600,000 transportable sections were produced.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

General and special funds—Continued
INTERSTATE LAND SALES—Continued

The Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act provides protection to the public with respect to purchases or leases of
subdivision lots. Statements of record must be filed with the
Secretary before subdivisions with 100 or more lots may be
sold in interstate commerce, except when the subdivision is
eligible for exemption.
The Secretary is authorized to charge a fee, to be paid
by the developer when filing a statement of record. The fee
receipts are permanently appropriated and have helped finance a portion of the direct administrative expenses incurred
in program operations.
The estimated annual program activity level will continue
at 1,700 filings, approximately the same level as in recent
years.

236 projects. The Housing and Community Development Act
of 1980 amended the 1978 Act by authorizing the transfer
of excess rent collections regardless of when collected. This
Budget proposes that the resources from the Rental Housing
Assistance Fund continue to be transferred to the Flexible
Subsidy Fund.

The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 authorized the Secretary to establish a revolving fund into which
rental collections in excess of the established basic rents for
units in section 236 subsidized projects would be deposited.
The Housing and Community Development Amendment of
1978 authorized the Secretary, subject to approval in appropriation acts, to transfer excess rent collections received after
1978 to the Troubled Projects Operating Subsidy program,
renamed the Flexible Subsidy Fund. Prior to that time, collections were used for paying tax and utility increases in section

HOMEOWNERSHIP ASSISTANCE FUND
Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)
Identification code 86–4043–0–3–604

The Flexible Subsidy Fund assisted financially troubled
subsidized projects under certain 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 moderateincome 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.
A portion of Flexible Subsidy capital improvement loans
were used, along with incentives available in the Emergency
Low-Income Housing Preservation program, to extend affordability requirements for projects eligible to prepay mortgages.
The budget assumes that the account will continue to serve
as a repository of excess rental charges appropriated from
the Rental Housing Assistance Fund. Since 1996, these resources have not been used for new reservations but they
continue to offset Flexible Subsidy outlays and other discretionary expenditures.

The Federal Housing Administration provides mortgage insurance to encourage lenders to make credit available to expand homeownership, and to predominantly serve borrowers
that the conventional market does not adequately provide
for including: first-time homebuyers; minorities; lower-income
families; and, residents of underserved areas (central cities
and rural areas). Currently, the maximum mortgage amount
for FHA-insured one-family loans is set at 95 percent of area
median house price, provided that the amount is never less
than 38 percent of the conforming loan limit—the maximum
mortgage amount for loans purchased by the housing secondary market Government-Sponsored Enterprises, Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac—and never more than 75 percent of the
conforming loan limit. The Administration proposes to increase the maximum mortgage amount for FHA-insured loans
in all areas to equal the conforming loan limit. FHA has
also proposed new legislation to allow greater flexibility in
single family property disposition.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records administrative expenses for this program,
as well as the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and thereafter, if any. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.
Beginning in 1999, an appropriation of $200,000,000 is requested, to be derived from the negative subsidy account,
for certain administrative expenses. All administrative expenses will be recorded in the program account. The transfer
is derived from negative credit subsidy amounts associated
with guaranteed loan activities.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992
and thereafter (including modifications of direct loans that
resulted from obligations in any year). The amounts in this
account are a means of financing and are not included in
the budget totals. As required by the Federal Credit Reform
Act of 1990, no administrative expenses can be recorded in
the financing account.
The $50 million in 1999 direct loan limitation in the MMI
Fund would permit the Department to use Purchase Money
Mortgages (PMMs) to help finance the sale of acquired single
family properties. HUD would extend credit for these singlefamily homes to community nonprofit organizations or local
government entities who would be expected to sell the properties to low- and moderate-income buyers. The use of PMMs
provides a tool for State and local nonprofit organizations
to use in revitalizing communities, and creates enhanced
homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate-income
families.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

Credit accounts—Continued
FHA—MUTUAL MORTGAGE AND COOPERATIVE HOUSING INSURANCE
FUNDS LIQUIDATING ACCOUNT—Continued

1102
1102

The Federal Housing Administration Fund currently consists of four separate insurance funds.
In order to present more clearly the operations of the various funds, FHA’s budget transactions are separated into two
major business segments. The basic single-family insurance
programs in the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) fund and
the multifamily Cooperative Management Housing Insurance
(CMHI) funds form one segment. All other multifamily and
other specialized insurance programs in the General Insurance and Special Risk Insurance funds (GI/SRI) form the
other segment.
The Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 creates a structure
of three accounts for existing credit program. For each of
the FHA business segments (MMI/CMHI and GI/SRI) there
is a liquidating account, which records the revenues and costs
associated with loan insurance committed prior to October
1, 1991, a financing account which records the revenues and
costs associated with commitments to insure loans made after
September 30, 1991, and, a program account which records
the transactions associated with the program subsidy costs,
if any, and the costs of administering the program.
This liquidating account records, for this program, all cash
flows to and from the Government resulting from MMI/CMHI
loans insured prior to fiscal year 1992, and is shown on a
cash basis. All new activity in this program in 1992 and
thereafter (including modifications of loans insured in any
year) is recorded in the corresponding program (86–0183) and
financing (86–4587 and 86–4242) accounts.
The program activity in the ‘‘Program Highlights’’ table
shown below reflects only the activity in the MMI/CMHI liquidating and financing accounts. The GI/SRI program activity
can be found with the GI/SRI liquidating account (86–4072).

Single Family Claims Reform and Sale of
Property
This proposal would provide HUD with additional flexibility
to choose the most cost-effective methods of paying insurance
claims and disposing of acquired notes or homes.
Currently, section 204(a) of the National Housing Act sets
forth the conditions under which HUD pays insurance benefits for defaulted single family mortgages and details the manner of calculating the amount of insurance benefits. This provision updates the current section 204(a) and adds authority
for HUD to take assignment of mortgages.
Under this proposal the Department would be able to take
assignment of mortgage notes (instead of taking properties
into inventory) and then sell or transfer them to a third
party for servicing, loss mitigation, foreclosure, and disposition of the property, depending upon the circumstances. It
is expected that savings will result from a higher return
on sales and expected property disposition.
The proposal would also provide flexible authority for HUD
to participate in joint venture arrangements in the sale of
single family properties.

sured financing carries favorable terms which may not be
available to many working families in high cost areas, who
may be constrained from entering the homeownership market
because of a lack of downpayment. The proposal reflects the
Administration’s National Homeownership Strategy, which
continue to be successful in raising the national homeownership rate.
FHA—GENERAL

This proposal will permit the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to insure a single family mortgage with a principal
amount not exceeding the average of the conforming mortgage
loan limits established by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
($227,150 for a one-family residence in 1998). Under current
law, FHA cannot insure a mortgage with a principal amount
that exceeds 75% of the conforming mortgage limit established by Freddie Mac.
The proposal also would eliminate other dollar limitations
on mortgage amounts that are in the current law. These
include ‘‘floor’’ limits for certain areas and limits based upon
95% of median home price for others. Currently, the maximum amount for an FHA-insured mortgage varies from the
‘‘floor’’ of $86,317 to higher amounts up to $170,363 which
are determined on a county or metropolitan statistical area
(MSA) basis.
The proposal would increase and standardize the maximum
insurable mortgage amount throughout the country. FHA-in-

Total subsidy outlays ................................................

Multifamily Products.—This account includes budget authority for multifamily insurance programs requiring positive
credit subsidies, as well as for salaries and expenses for all
General and Special Risk Insurance Fund programs.
The credit subsidy appropriation of $81 million requested
for 1999 will be used in conjunction with $49 million of carryover budget authority to provide a total program level of
$130 million.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for the single family, multifamily, hospital, and Title I insurance programs of FHA’s General Insurance and Special Risk Insurance Funds, the subsidy costs
associated with the loan guarantees committed or direct loans
obligated in 1992 and thereafter (including modifications of
loan guarantees or direct loans that resulted from obligations
or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of these programs. The subsidy amounts are estimated
on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
accounted for on a cash basis.
FHA has corrected the allocation of administrative expenses
among its budgetary accounts. Beginning in 1998, all administrative expenses are recorded in the program account. In
1999, $104 million in appropriations has been requested to
provide consistency with this approach.

1 Preliminary results pending final audit. Subsidy reestimates for fiscal year 1997 disbursements will be performed
for the Mid-Session review of the Budget.

The amounts in this account are a means of financing and
are not included in the budget totals. As required by the
Federal Reform Act of 1990, no administrative expenses can
be recorded in the financing account.
This schedule includes two direct loan programs. One provides bridge loan financing to facilitate the disposition of multifamily housing owned by the Department to non-profit organizations who agree to preserve it as affordable rental or
cooperative housing. The second is a single-family direct loan
program for purchase money mortgages, as discussed in the
preceding section for the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund.

surance of loans for property improvements as well as for
cooperatives, condominiums, housing for the elderly, rental
housing and nonprofit hospitals.
The Special Risk Insurance fund provides insurance on behalf of mortgagors who otherwise would not be eligible for
mortgage insurance. In addition, the fund provides insurance
on mortgages covering experimental housing where strict adherence to State or local building regulations was not observed.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, all cash flows to and
from the Government resulting from loan guarantees committed and direct loans obligated prior to 1992. This account
is shown on a cash basis. New insurance and direct loan
activity in 1992 and thereafter in the GI/SRI programs is
recorded in corresponding program (86–0200) and financing
(86–4077 and 86–4105) accounts.
Section 571 of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and
Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies
Appropriations Act, 1998 established the Office of Multifamily
Housing Assistance Restructuring within HUD to administer
the program of mortgage and rental assistance restructuring.
Included in the budget estimates for this account are projections for the financial operations of the office. More detailed
information will be provided to Congress at a later date.
Financial Condition.—The following tables reflect the revenues, expenses, and financial condition of the GI/SRI Liquidating Account based on Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

This adjustment reflects the effect of repealing sections
513(b)(7)(g) and 517(d) of the Multifamily Assisted Housing
Reform and Affordability Act of 1997. Section 513(b)(7)(g) of
the Act prohibits any private entity from sharing, participating in, or otherwise benefiting from any equity created, received, or restructured as a result of a portfolio restructuring
agreement. Section 517(d) of the Act prohibits the Secretary
of HUD from participating in any equity sharing or profit
sharing arrangement.
The Department will be reporting in February, 1998, on
possible ways that equity sharing might be developed in connection with portfolio restructuring. Currently, HUD is using
joint venture arrangements with non-profit partners under
the multifamily demonstration as a mechanism to achieve
savings.

Note.—Amounts for direct loan obligations reflect reservations of section 202 funds. Loan obligations shown
under the program and financing schedule reflect loans that have reached the initial closing stage of processing.

The Housing for the Elderly or Handicapped Fund was
established pursuant to section 202 of the Housing Act of
1959, as amended. The fund provided direct loans to nonprofit
organizations building and managing housing projects for
lower income persons who are elderly or disabled.
Projects included an assured range of necessary services
for the occupants of such projects. In addition, the section
8 lower income housing assistance payments program has
been used in conjunction with the section 202 program. Applications under the two programs have been processed simultaneously.
The data included in these schedules represent direct loan
activities funded under the Housing for the Elderly or Handicapped Loan Fund. Further, activities in support of the needs
of the elderly and disabled have been carried out under a
grant program funded in the 1991 Appropriations Act (P.L.
101–507) and authorized in the National Affordable Housing
Act (P.L. 101–625).
After April 1, 1992, all projects for which there were administrative reservations converted to the capital advance assistance program.
For 1999, funding is being requested for assistance on behalf of the elderly and disabled under the HOME Investment
Partnerships Program.
The program and financing schedule for this account summarizes the Federal government’s obligations for this loan
program.
Financing.—Repayments and interest income from loans
continue to be available to pay for commitments of the fund.

The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 authorized the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie
Mae) to guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on privately issued securities that are backed by pools
of FHA, Veterans Affairs (VA) and Rural Housing Service
mortgages. The Ginnie Mae guarantee gives lenders access
to the capital markets for funds to originate new loans. New
FHA and VA loans are currently pooled into Ginnie Mae
securities.
Financing.—Ginnie Mae issuers are assessed commitment,
guarantee and other fees to cover costs incurred by Ginnie
Mae and to fund a reserve against possible future payments
under the guarantee.
Operating results.—Fee collections, interest, and other income are expected to exceed expenses by $329 million and
$402 million in 1998 and 1999 respectively.

These functions are carried out internally and through con-

tracts with industry, nonprofit research organizations, and
educational institutions, and through agreements with State
and local governments and other Federal agencies.
In 1999, the research program will focus on activities to
support research examining the implications of significant
changes in public and assisted housing policy, the impacts
of welfare reform on HUD-assisted households and HUD-subsidized developments, the success of instituting a continuum
of care approach to help the homeless and other areas. National Housing Surveys will continue in 1999.
The 1999 request includes $10 million to support an initiative known as the Partnership for Advancing Technologies
in Housing (PATH). PATH is a key component of the President’s Climate Change Technology Initiative (CCTI). Energy
use in buildings accounts for more than one-third of air emissions, producing more than 350 million metric tons of carbon
emissions. PATH will help to significantly reduce: housing
utility costs; carbon emissions; construction injuries; losses
due to fire and disasters. The funds will be used for PATHrelated housing technology research, field demonstrations of
promising new technologies, information dissemination, and
the development of product evaluation systems.
Funding for PATH is proposed as part of the Research
Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration’s priority to providing needed and sustained investments
in important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral
basis. A discussion of the Research Fund for America, and
two other funds for the environment and transportation, can
be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

The Budget proposes an appropriation of $52 million in
1999 for fair housing activities to fund programs, consistent
with the President’s ‘‘One America’’ policy, which will support
new efforts to end housing discrimination, including a commitment to double the number of housing discrimination enforcement actions over the next 4 years. Of the amount requested, $23 million is for the Fair Housing Assistance Program and $29 million is for the Fair Housing Initiatives Program.
The Fair Housing Assistance Program (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 Title VIII (Civil Rights Act of 1968)
complaints.
The additional $8 million in funding requested for FHAP
will support the President’s fair housing enforcement initiative by increasing funding to support additional State and
local fair housing organizations to meet the needs of currently
underserved populations. These funds will be used for joint
investigations and enforcement activities with State and local
fair housing agencies to address housing discrimination. It
is estimated that the number of new State and local agencies
with laws equivalent to the Fair Housing Act will increase
to 85 in 1999 from 78 in 1997.
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP), authorized
by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987,
as amended by the Housing and Community Development
Act of 1992, provides support to public and private organizations for the purpose of eliminating or preventing discrimination in housing and for enhancing fair housing opportunities.
Of the $29 million requested, $10 million will be used to
fund an audit-based enforcement initiative which will address
the continued existence of a high level of both blatant and
subtle forms of housing discrimination confirmed through
testing experience. Additional FHIP funding will support extended testing and other anti-discrimination activities by private fair housing groups.

Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1992 (Public Law 102–550), known as the Residential LeadBased 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 hazards in
their homes.
To accomplish this, two major activities are being conducted
within the Department’s Office of Lead Hazard Control. The
first is the Healthy Homes Initiative, which will include a
program to conduct lead-based paint compliance checks. The
Healthy Homes Initiative will also enable the Department
to control additional childhood diseases and injuries that are
caused by housing related factors. The initiative will allow
for a demonstration that evaluates methods of controlling two
or more housing related diseases through a single intervention. A public education/outreach effort, to enable the public
to act effectively to protect their children, will also be conducted.
The second activity is the continuation of the Lead Hazard
Control Grant Program, which provides grants of $1 to $4
million to State and local governments for control of leadbased paint hazards in privately owned, low-income owneroccupied and rental housing. The grants are also designed
to stimulate the development of a trained and certified hazard
evaluation and control industry by requiring all contractors
to be certified and all workers to be trained through a Stateaccredited program. In awarding grants, HUD promotes the
use of cost-effective approaches to hazard control that can
be replicated across the nation.
Prior to 1997, funding for the lead hazard control grant
program was provided under the Annual Contributions for
Assisted Housing Account. In 1997 and 1998, the program
was funded as a set-aside under the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) account. In 1999 the program is being
proposed as a separate, stand-alone program.

This appropriation funds the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (the Office), which was established in 1992
to regulate the financial safety and soundness of the two
housing Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs)—the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation. The Office was authorized in
the Federal Housing Enterprise Safety and Soundness Act
of 1992, which also instituted a risk-based capital standard
for the GSEs, and gave the regulator enhanced authority
to enforce those standards. The office is also required by
statute to conduct on-site annual examinations at the GSEs
to determine the condition of each enterprise for the purpose
of ensuring their financial safety and soundness.

is entitled to foreclosure for a non-monetary default. Insurance benefits
shall be paid only upon the assignment, transfer and delivery to
the Secretary of—
‘‘(i) all rights and interests arising under the mortgage;

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999
‘‘(ii) all claims of the mortgagee against the mortgagor or others
arising out of the mortgage transaction;
‘‘(iii) title evidence satisfactory to the Secretary; and
‘‘(iv) such records relating to the mortgage transaction as the

insurance benefits if the mortgagee has acquired title to the mortgaged
property through foreclosure or has otherwise acquired such property
from the mortgagor after a default upon—
‘‘(i) the prompt conveyance to the Secretary of title to the property
which meets the standards of the Secretary in force at the time
the mortgage was insured, and which is evidenced in the manner
provided by such standards; and
‘‘(ii) the assignment to the Secretary of all claims of the mortgagee
against the mortgagor or others, arising out of the mortgage transaction or foreclosure proceedings, except such claims as may have
been released with the consent of the Secretary.
The Secretary is authorized to permit the mortgagee to tender to the
Secretary a satisfactory conveyance of title and transfer of possession
directly from the mortgagor or other appropriate grantor, and to pay
to the mortgagee the insurance benefits to which it would otherwise
be entitled if such conveyance had been made to the mortgagee and
from the mortgagee to the Secretary.
‘‘(C) CLAIM WITHOUT CONVEYANCE OF TITLE.—The Secretary may
pay insurance benefits upon sale of the mortgaged property at foreclosure where such sale is for at least the fair market value of the
property (with appropriate adjustments), as determined by the Secretary, and upon assignment to the Secretary of all claims referred
to in clause (ii) of subparagraph (B).
‘‘(D) PRE-FORECLOSURE SALE.—The Secretary may pay insurance
benefits upon the sale of the mortgaged property by the mortgagor

the Secretary;

market value of the property (with appropriate adjustments), as
determined by the Secretary; and
‘‘(iii) the mortgagor has received an appropriate disclosure, as
determined by the Secretary.
‘‘(2) PAYMENT FOR LOSS MITIGATION.—The Secretary may pay insurance benefits to the mortgagee to recompense the mortgagee for its
actions to provide an alternative to foreclosure of a mortgage that
is in default, which actions may include such actions as special forbearance, loan modification, and deeds in lieu of foreclosure, all upon
such terms and conditions as the mortgagee shall determine in the
mortgagee’s sole discretion within guidelines provided by the Secretary, but which may not include assignment of a mortgage to the
Secretary. For purposes of the preceding sentence, no action authorized
by the Secretary and no action taken, nor any failure to act, by
the Secretary or the mortgagee shall be subject to judicial review.
‘‘(3) DETERMINING CLAIMS PROCEDURE.—The Secretary shall publish guidelines for determining which of the procedures for payment
of insurance specified in paragraph (1) are available to a mortgagee
when it claims insurance benefits. At least one of the procedures
for payment of insurance benefits specified in paragraph (1)(A) or
(1)(B) shall be available to a mortgagee with respect to a mortgage,
but the same procedure is not required to be available for all of
the mortgages held by a mortgagee.
‘‘(4) SERVICING ASSIGNED MORTGAGE.—If a mortgage is assigned
to the Secretary under paragraph (1)(A), the Secretary may permit
the assigning mortgagee or its servicer to continue to service the mortgage for reasonable compensation and on terms and conditions determined by the Secretary. Neither the Secretary nor any servicer of
the mortgage shall be required to forbear from collection of amounts
due under the mortgage or otherwise pursue loss mitigation measures.
‘‘(5) CALCULATING INSURANCE BENEFITS.—Insurance benefits shall
be paid as provided in section 520 of this Act, and shall be equal

the acquisition of the property after default other than by foreclosure,
or on the date of sale of the mortgaged property by the mortgagor,
with such additions and deductions as the Secretary deems appropriate.

for commencing foreclosure proceedings or for otherwise acquiring
title to the mortgaged property, to such time as the mortgagee determines is necessary and desirable to enable the mortgagor to complete
the mortgage payments, including an extension of time beyond the
stated maturity of the mortgage, and in the event of a subsequent
foreclosure or acquisition of the property by other means the Secretary is authorized to include in the amount of insurance benefits
an amount equal to any unpaid mortgage interest; or
‘‘(B) provide for a modification of the terms of the mortgage for
the purpose of recasting, over the remaining term of the mortgage

upon the termination of an agreed-upon extension of the period
for curing the default; and the principal amount of the mortgage,
as modified, shall be considered the ‘original principal obligation
of the mortgage’ as that term is used in this section for the purpose
of paragraph (5).

mortgagee to pay the premium charges for insurance shall cease upon
fulfillment of the appropriate requirements under which the Secretary
may pay insurance benefits, as described in paragraph (1). The Secretary may also terminate the mortgagee’s obligation to pay mortgage
