Housing unit decline seen in Carter budget debate
President Carter's spending experts push for 1980 budget cuts that could reduce federally subsidized housing from about 330,000 units to 225,000. HUD disputes, urging a return to roughly 300,000 units amid an OMB plan to cut housing funding from 26.3 to 22.5 billion dollars while potentially preserving or increasing per unit subsidies. Carter seeks large domestic cuts to shrink the deficit to 30 billion while defense spending rises.
