Description

This is Volume 2 (D-Z) of 2 volumes.

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 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 and Maintenance needs exceeds $20 billion.

The goal of this 2-volume Handbook is to simplify Public Housing modernization and maintenance, and save time for the busy Public Housing Administrator and Affordable Housing Professional. This Handbook's 750-page Comprehensive Index includes about 17,100 entries, and over 202,000 references, organizing access to the main sources of regulatory and management control of Public Housing Programs.
