On the recordJuly 16, 1998
I concur with the observations of the Senator from Minnesota. There is a disturbingly large gap between the number of units of affordable housing and the number of families in need. Savings from HUD property disposition reform should go to federal housing assistance in some form. As a clarification, would it be correct to say that my Colleague from Missouri agrees with the Senator from Minnesota and myself that if savings could be found within the HUD accounts, that housing programs would be a primary target for such funds? I also want to emphasize that the reform of FHA property disposition is critical, but needs to be designed to ensure that property disposition helps to protect distressed communities, where applicable.
