Budgeting for Federal Housing Programs: A Problem and What to Do about It
本文探讨联邦政府用于Section 8住房建设补贴项目的预算是否充足,认为授权预算不足以覆盖全部合同承诺,并分析解决方案及预防措施。
The question is whether the federal government has budgeted too little, too much, or just the right amount to meet contractual commitments for Section 8, the nation's largest housing construction subsidy program.' This paper will argue that the authorized budget authority is not sufficient to meet the full term of commitments, and will analyze alternative means of addressing the problem. The paper concludes with a discussion of ways to prevent the problem from arising in the future.
