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 goal of this 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 202,000 references, organizing access to the main sources of regulatory and management control of Public Housing Programs: � Statutory and Federal Regulations, most notably in 24 CFR � HUD Forms, � HUD Handbooks and Guidebooks, and � PIH Notices. All of these sources of regulation and management decisions are indexed. 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 consultation or advice for your Section 8 or Public Housing Program, or have other suggestions for improving this index and handbook of HUD Public Housing Affordable Housing, please contact the author (email below). Please send all suggestions and comments to the author at the email below David Hoicka, New Orleans, LA and Honolulu Hawaii. [DavidHoicka@PublicHousing.info]. |
