Redirected Resources
HUD will increase housing opportunities for low-income households by funding 34,000
incremental Section 8 housing vouchers and renewing all expiring rental subsidy contracts.
HUD will also expand funding for the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS program.
This expansion will support an increase in the number of eligible jurisdictions based on
projections of AIDS cases by the Centers for Disease Control without reducing funding for
other jurisdictions. Additional funding will be provided within the Lead Hazard Reduction
program, with increased private sector leveraging, to reduce exposure of low-income children
to lead-based paint.
The Public Housing Capital program will decline by $700 million relative to 2001 funding. Full
funding will be provided for the accrual of new capital needs and local Public Housing
Authorities will be encouraged to use more than $6 billion in unspent funds to reduce the
backlog of needs. In addition, regulatory tools will be used to address distressed public
housing units that represent a disproportionate share of the backlog of capital needs. The
Public Housing Operating program is increased by $150 million, in part to cover utility rate
