Description

The Public Housing program is one of HUD's largest national affordable housing programs, serving about 1.2 million families in 14,000 public housing developments in all 50 states, and administered by 3,050 Housing Authorities. The Public Housing Operating Fund subsidy budget is currently about $3.6 billion annually. Other special Public Housing Programs are accounted for separately.

The goal of this handbook is to simplify Public Housing management, and save time for the busy Public Housing Administrator and Affordable Housing Professional. This Handbook's Comprehensive Index includes about 7000 entries, and over 120,000 references, organizing access to the main sources of regulatory and management control of Public Housing Programs.
