6 PHA Modernization, Development, Maintenance & Relocation
Vol. 4A: Regulations and Comprehensive Index A-C
Introduction
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 over 3,000 Housing Authorities and Agencies.
The Public Housing Capital Fund and HOPE VI Programs are currently budgeted
at about $3 billion annually. About $1 billion for maintenance is funded through the
Public Housing Operating Fund. Other special Public Housing Programs are accounted
for separately. The nation's existing accrued investment in Public Housing is over $90
billion. However, estimates of current outstanding Public Housing Modernization and
Maintenance needs exceed $20 billion.
The primary regulations from 24 CFR and 49 CFR (about 400 pages), are reprinted in
the front portion of this Handbook, a few pages after this Introduction. The HUD Handbooks
and Guidebooks (about 2,280 pages), main HUD forms (about 350 pages), and PIH Notices
(about 520 pages), are available for free from HUDCLIPS. All are completely indexed in
this Handbook – for a total of about 3,550 HUD pages with over 930,000 words indexed.
In this Comprehensive Index, the total number of times a word or phrase appears is
on the first line of each index entry. Then the index references are listed individually for
each regulatory source shown above.
The author welcomes suggestions and input to improve this Handbook, and for future
Handbooks. For example, new words to add to the index, additional or changed forms, new
regulations, or any other thoughts and suggestions the reader may have.
If you would like a Custom Index for your program documents, or have other
suggestions for indexing and facilitating HUD Affordable Housing, please contact the author.

"31" refers to the number of times "18 years" appears in the texts indexed.
References are organized according to type of source: 24 CFR (e.g. 24 CFR
5.230), HUD Forms, HUD Handbooks and Guidebooks, and PIH Notices.
"(2)", "(3)", and such numbers underlined in the indices, means the indexed word
or phrase occurs (2) or (3), (or more) times on that page.
Certain common words appear on nearly every page of the source documents,
appearing at the frequency shown in the following table. Such common individual words
were excluded from the printed index. However, where they form a part of an important
phrase - e.g. in phrases like “family absence”, “family breakup”, “family characteristic”,
“family composition”, “family income”, “single family”, “single family house”,
“working family”, etc., these words are included in the indexed.
For consistency, spelling irregularities, hyphens, etc. in the original sources are
retained as-is in the Index. Thus, e.g. the following words, all with about the same
meaning, are indexed separately:
“childcare”,
“child care”, and
“child-care”
For thoroughness, please check all word and punctuation forms, including
apostrophes, hyphens, etc.
