HUD suspends elderly housing program after audit findings
Washington AP Secretary Kemp suspends a low income elderly housing program following an inspector general audit that found projects overbuilt or unnecessary. The program has cost $119 million in direct payments, with defaults totaling $250 million and rising. Kemp aims to revive the Retirement Service Center Program with stricter guidelines targeting very low income seniors. He notes insured housing programs carry risk and cites Palm Harbor Florida as an example of inflated rents. Kemp is reviewing HUD programs amid broader investigations into Reagan era mismanagement, including single family property deals, rental rehabilitation funding, and mortgage insurance for certain developments. Five year old Old City housing venture linked to 150 developments was also involved in lobbying controversies.

State housing office urged as Kansas weighs public policy need
A Kansas committee heard that the state lacks a housing office, hindering access to federal programs for low income families and builders. Advocates say a Commerce Department housing office would centralize information, provide technical help, and study needs, while critics warn of unnecessary government jobs and vague technical assistance.
