Reagan's plans for HUD: more than short-term cuts

Article Abstract:

The Reagan Administration's budget for FY 1986, and projected through 1991, would, if unopposed, devastate the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD's programs would be reduced to two active assistance programs: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) ,which would be cut by 25 percent from FY 1985, and Urban Homesteading. These proposed budgets would destroy the HUD's legislated goals to solve the problems of housing and urban development, and the Department would probably cease to exist. The Reagan administration's budgets can be blocked if the stark implications of the budgets are understood by Congress and by those who have pressing housing and community development needs. The major HUD program budget cuts are detailed.

Wanted: new housing designs

Article Abstract:

American household patterns have been rapidly changing over the years, but not enough attention has been given to new housing designs that consider these changes. The emergence of non-traditional households, such as the single parent and the single non-elderly households, creates special housing needs that should receive more understanding from public agencies, nonprofit organizations, architects, and most especially, from the Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Several noteworthy publications have generated new public interest in the matter, but special attention from the HUD is needed to hasten the resolution of this unattended problem.

H-CD after Reagan: a new cycle of policies and partners

Article Abstract:

The Reagan administration eliminated or cut back most of the low income housing and urban renewal programs and greatly reduced the influence of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during its tenure. HUD needs to be restored and redirected to a position of political power now that a new administration has been elected if future housing and planning problems are to be addressed. The issues that need examination include: low income family housing shortages; homelessness; urban poverty concentration; housing for the elderly; and housing for single-parents.
