HUD's Subsidy Programs Draw Fire and Debt Risks
The federal housing program begun in 1968 under HUD failed to aid the very poor and spawned scandals and a bloated bureaucracy. HUD owns 65,000 boarded up single family homes and 85,000 multifamily units worth $2 billion. Proposals aim to spend $264 million to back 250,000 mortgages and $6.5 billion for construction to reach 500,000 units next year, risking higher inflation and unsustainable deficits.
