Subject Subsets: Public Health N2 - In this study we estimated the number of housing units in the USA with lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards. We included measurements of lead in intact and deteriorated paint, interior dust, and bare soil. A nationally representative, random sample of 831 housing units was evaluated in a survey between 1998 and 2000; the units and their occupants did not differ significantly from nationwide characteristics. Results indicate that 38 million housing units had lead-based paint, down from the 1990 estimate of 64 million. 24 million had significant lead-based paint hazards. Of those with hazards, 1.2 million units housed low-income families (<$30 000/year) with children under 6 years of age. Although 17% of government-supported, low-income housing had hazards, 35% of all low-income housing had hazards. For households with incomes ≥$30 000/year, 19% had hazards. 14% of all houses had significantly deteriorated lead-based paint, and 16% and 7%, respectively, had dust lead and soil lead levels above current standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The prevalence of lead-based paint and hazards increases with age of housing, but most painted surfaces, even in older housing, do not have lead-based paint. Between 2% and 25% of painted building components were coated with lead-based paint. Housing in the Northeast and Midwest had about twice the prevalence of hazards compared with housing in the South and West. The greatest risk occurs in older units with lead-based paint hazards that either will be or are currently occupied by families with children under 6 years of age and are low-income and/or are undergoing renovation or maintenance that disturbs lead-based paint. This study also confirms projections made in 2000 by the President's Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children of the number of houses with lead-based paint hazards. Public- and private-sector resources should be directed to units posing the greatest risk if future lead poisoning is to be prevented.

Subject Subsets: Public Health; World Agriculture, Economics & Rural Sociology N2 - On any given night, there are more than 600,000 people sleeping on the streets, in their cars or abandoned buildings, or in homeless shelters. Set against this humbling backdrop is a remarkable and ambitious national goal to end homelessness-the first of its kind to not simply address, but end, the problem. The U.S. government learned a lot from research and trial and error over the years in terms of what are the best interventions to confront homelessness. The policies discussed here are based on data and evidence-based practices. It is possible to end homelessness and, with sufficient resources, it can be done.

Subject Subsets: World Agriculture, Economics & Rural Sociology; Public Health N2 - This article describes a developmental evaluation and explains its impact on the Stronger Economies Together (SET) initiative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in collaboration with the Nation's four Regional Rural Development Centers and Land-Grant universities. Through a dynamic process, this evaluation of the early phases of an initiative led to continuous program alterations based on feedback. The relationship of the evaluation team to the initiative's coordinating team enabled seamless transfer of observations, suggestions, and recommendations to decision makers. The multidisciplinary character of the evaluation team provided a diverse set of perspectives with a depth of subject matter and knowledge from relevant fields. One lesson is that developmental evaluators must be flexible, nimble, creative, and adaptive. When expected data are imperfect or nonexistent, the team must collect alternate information and make recommendations to improve data collection. As the initiative proceeded and modifications came about, the evaluation team had to recognize the changes in the program and focus on different questions. This experience with developmental evaluation provides insights into how interdisciplinary teams may need to change course and conduct a developmental evaluation when a formative evaluation was originally envisioned.

The quality of housing a family is able to occupy is dependent almost exclusively on its income. Experts say it is a serious error to translate the needs of millions of low-income families into a potential market for new, low-priced, mass-produced homes. The standard of housing for an individual family is raised when it moves to a home considered better than their present dwelling. Studies have shown that on average only 1 in 7 U.S. families will move into a new house within ten years.

Machines and new technological concepts are replacing men, having been doing so for countless years, and will do so in the future. It follows logically therefore that most of the "special" area attention is not a matter of attacking a new problem with a crash program. It is rather a matter of keeping up with an age-old problem: of calmly presenting ideas and approaches; of working together always--labor, industry, government--because the prosperity of one spells the prosperity of the other. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a separate agency from the Defense Department, but it does business with many of the same industrial firms. It has faced gigantic new technical problems and concepts and through it all has performed under the sobering realization that man will ride the huge rockets being fabricated, and his life must be protected.

Often the borderline between public and private ownership is vague since any one of the many rights associated with private ownership may be preempted by the state for public purposes; public ownership is sometimes accompanied by considerable freedom in private use. This paper treats mainly the economic aspects of the issue.

Volumes could be written about quite a few aspects of mortgage financing in the postwar period. Indeed, a number have been written; some excellent ones by the distinguished scholars who will comment on this paper. Because the subject is so large, this paper makes no claim to deal with all major developments in postwar residential financing. Rather, it will deal with some events which the author judges to be significant and which he feels competent to discuss. The postwar developments which this paper will seek to develop are: (1) the progressive liberalization of mortgage terms; (2) the change in housing market conditions and the rise in lending risks; (3) the relationship between housing production and the supply of funds; (4) the changing role of conventional lending; and (5) the changing federal objectives for mortgage lending.

From the beginning, there have been no illusions either that the desired objective of effective public administration was a new one or that all the sought-after improvement in the precision and quality of analysis would be achieved overnight or in a single year or in a single administration. The article is a progress report on how one analytic staff in one agency is attempting to approach one specific policy problem cycle. The aim of the article is to describe what the author believes to be useful analytic methodology for the federal decision-maker; the author tries to be explicit about the stages of analysis in which the author chooses to defer concentration while presenting for critical review those tentative proposals which now appear to us both to be relevant and to lead in useful directions.

Five semiautonomous units are contained within a single cohesive department, and departmental activities have been regrouped on a problem-solving basis. Field activities have been consolidated under seven regional administrators in order to strengthen the field structure and allow appropriate decisions to be made in the field. The unique role of the Department in creative federalism and in the synthesis of social, human, and economic factors and development is assessed.

The urban crisis is national in scope, for these problems plague city after city across the nation. As a result, cities have found it necessary to draw upon the resources of a broad range of federal programs designed to cope with these physical, economic, and social ills. Unfortunately, these programs have been highly fragmented, often underfunded, and frequently bogged down in an administrative quagmire. Much has been written about the urban crisis. You see it reflected daily in the ugly surge of violence, in rat-infested slum housing, in the pockets of heavy unemployment, in the growing welfare rolls, in the congestion of streets, and in the pollution of our air and water. If one looks back on the administrative advances of the past several years, they are rather impressive. The true test of progress, however, is not how far you have come, but how far you have to go.

Proceedings Of The Second Annual Symposium Of The American Society For Cybernatics. 1969 October. Spartan Books, 432 Park Avanue South, New York 10061. P Y1 - 1969/// M3 - Book Chapter AB - The potential contribution of science and scientists to the solution of the most difficult problems of cities and urban development is considered. However, the value of systematic scientific research on urban problems cannot be assumed to be self-evident, but must be demonstrated. There is a credibility gap-a loss of faith in rational approaches to our urban dilemmas. The much-advertised harnessing of technology to the science of learning has produced some ingenious teaching machines, but almost no decent software. One of the most difficult proplems is the transfer of management capability to new groups within the population. The neighborhood has become the key unit in social programs. The deparment of housing and urban development's research money is being used to try to learn how to conduct experiments in the city and to find ways to loosen up urban institutions so that they can respond to new ideas and accept rational solutions. The pioneering 'in-cites' project will attempt to specify, in the engineering sense, what the constraints are that inhibit reductions in cost and time in building homes for low-income families where they need them. The effort is politically sentative, concerning as it does codes, zoning, federal and municipal red tape, union regualtions, and integration. The relevance of science and research must be established anew with a skeptical congress and with a generation that wasn't around when radar saved england from the nazis.

The Congress, in 1968, authorized a Federal program following generally the recommendations of the President's Advisory Panel on Insurance in Riot-Affected Areas, encompassing Federal reinsurance against riot and civil disorder losses and State-wide FAIR Plans to assure access to insurance markets. FAIR Plans, in operation for over a year, appear generally to have succeeded in accomplishing the basic purposes for which they were organized, although the profitability or loss potential of these Plans is as yet undemonstrated. New or more comprehensive Federal regulations governing the operation of approved FAIR Plans were issued in September 1970. A comprehensive report on the availability of crime insurance in urban areas was transmitted to Congress by the Federal Insurance Administration in July 1970 recommending a sequential approach to a solution of the availability problem with maximum reliance upon the capabilities of private industry and the existing structure of State regulation. The viewpoint and position of the Federal Government rely upon the insurance industry and the States to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the free enterprise system. To the extent the industry and the States fails to do so, the Federal Government recognizes its responsibility to meet the essential insurance needs of the public.

Evaluation Report Y1 - 1972/// AB - Results are reported from an evaluation of housing production and management activities on Indian reservations in HUD's Region IX, with particular emphasis on interagency efforts to coordinate the delivery of goods and services to the reservations. In terms of interagency coordination, it was found that with present funding and staffing levels, HUD cannot achieve its goals for reservation housing without the support and cooperation of other appropriate agencies. Recommendations to deal with this need include (1) a new effort by HUD to achieve its housing and related goals through interagency coordination; (2) establishment by the Regional Council of a sufficient number of interagency task forces to function at the level of individual or groups of reservations; (3) encouragement of the tribes to make their local housing agencies the focal point for all reservation housing matters; and (4) consideration of a Federal reorganization where all funding and personnel would be provided to one Federal agency charged with the responsibility for reservations. HUD was found to have funded public housing production and management activities for reservations to the virtual exclusion of other programs. Recommendations for improving overall community development are offered. The present national goals for housing production on reservations are believed to be unrealistic considering the many constraints upon reservation housing production. The development of a survey format and procedures for collecting data on reservations is needed to fulfill the demand for information needed for all housing program decisions. Recommendations are also presented to counteract the inadequacies found in the program of public housing production. Appendices describe reservation housing programs of the Farmers Home Administration and the Bureau of Indian Affairs and HUD's role in remote housing for reservations.

Essentially it is a device to make government responsive to needs of all people, particularly those people who are left out of the formal governmental decision-making process. Most public administrators and planners agree that citizens should be brought into the planning and decision-making process in one way or another. Many members on boards and staffs of metropolitan regional councils, for example, try to involve citizens in planning and development issues by publishing attractive reports and pamphlets, scheduling public hearings, conducting surveys and polls, appointing advisory committees and exhorting the citizenry to be regionable. There is, however, only a small number of regional agencies that can truly claim continuing involvement with all segments of the regional population. In their present form, most metropolitan agencies are useful as issue-identifiers and study groups. They can pave the way for effective regional solutions appropriate to problems and opportunities of individual metropolitan areas. This role is an important one and may be sufficient to justify the existence of metropolitan agencies. But, of course, it is the follow through, the carrying out of planned solutions, that is the real criterion of effectiveness.

The conference was held to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information among those actively involved in planning and operating information and referral systems and those involved in human services activities at the federal level. Each of eight working groups was assigned the following three tasks: 1) to construct an operating definition of information and referral; 2) to construct an operating definition of computer-assisted information and referral; and 3) to examine the political and technical factors which effect development of computer-assisted information and referral systems and to identify those factors operating for and against such a system. Topical working groups were divided into two categories: management-oriented and technically oriented. Management topics include: how communities can finance computer-assisted information and referral; the uses of computer-assisted information and referral data; how consumer use of information and referral can be increased; and confidentiality of data. Technical sessions dealt with data needs, automation techniques, classification systems, and data storage and retrieval methods. It is noted that participants felt that they could perform information and referral better than the federal government, but the federal guidance, coordination, and techincal support is needed. Appendices present the proceedings of each working group; presentations on telecommunications technology applied to human services, federal information centers, the search automated information and referral system, the chattanooga human services delivery system, and the information center of hampton roads; and lists of conference participants.

The purpose of the conference was to provide a structure for the sharing of information among agencies on the status of their experimental programs. Agency representatives prepared the agenda on the basis of the agencies' priority recommendations and concerns. Small group discussions were planned for the following topics: application through selection, housing standards -- inspection, lease -- tenant - landlord relations, marketplace issues, administration, subsidy level -- certification and payment, and counseling. Questions considered crucial on each issue were listed for preconference consideration by attendees, with the request that each participant relate the questions to the operations and policy of his particular agency. Conference participant biographical sketches and other agenda information are provided. Agency synopses are included for the following participating agencies: Bismarck, N. Dak., Durham, N.C., Jacksonville, Fla., Peoria, Ill., Salem, Oreg., San Bernadino, Calif., Springfield, Mass., and Tulsa, Okla. The agency synopses include an administrative agency fact sheet, a brief description of the location city, the basic functions of the agency, an organizational chart, and biographical information on each agency staff member (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Public housing was originally built and managed for the temporarily depressed middle-class family. If program goals do not change, administrative incentives may change, causing undesirable consequences. For example, the housing objectives have been and continue to be to house needy families in decent housing and in a suitable living environment. In the late sixties, the Administration sped up the production rate of housing units to meet the 1968 decade goal, which forced it to adopt shortcuts. The article presents a practical example describing Housing and Urban Development Agency's (HUD) evaluation of its housing allowance program. This evaluation, called the Administrative Agency Experiment, is part of a major congressionally mandated, social experiment, the Experimental Housing Allowance Program, conducted by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research. Close communication between the evaluation contractor and the government is important. Each party must have a stake in the process and be willing to argue forcibly its position and to reconcile its differences.

The cities and States listed in the guide have exhibited unusual initiative and resourcefulness in the development of loan programs that encourage housing rehabilitation. The city programs include the use of model cities funds, local appropriated funds, Federal general revenue sharing funds, State and private foundation grants and cooperative arrangements with local banks. Public monies are planned for use either as direct loans or in providing subsidies for private lending arrangements. The State programs generally involve the establishment of State housing finance agencies or housing divisions in a department of community affairs, department of commerce, or department of economic and community development to plan and carry out direct loan, interest subsidy, and mortgage insurance programs. These programs include financing the rehabilitation of low - income and moderate - income housing with State - appropriated funds, Federal general revenue sharing funds, and through the sale of tax - exempt general obligation or revenue bonds. The guide lists 83 cities with loan programs and describes the programs in 17 cities. It describes loan programs in 14 States. Copies of sample State enabling legislation, local ordinances, and loan program procedures that can be of interest and assistance to cities and States planning loan programs are appended.

HUD has been working for the energy consumer, and one of its most important research efforts is the development of the MIUS. MIUS is a total energy system designed for residential community use. Energy is recycled by packaging into one processing plan all five utility services necessary for community development: electricity, space heating and air - conditioning, solid waste processing, liquid waste processing, and residential water purification. It is estimated that the MIUS can reduce pollutants over conventional systems by 50 percent for thermal pollution, 35 percent for combustion products, 80 percent for liquid waste, and 65 percent for solid waste. The advantages of the MIUS are that it conserves natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes environmental impact. The modular approach allows for the use of the integrated systems concept while minimizing distribution system expenses and constraints, permits utility service capacity and distribution to be installed in phase with new development, and minimizes utility service capacity and distribution constraints on community development. Applications of the MIUS and its subsystems are detailed. Major subsystems and types of subsystems applicable in the near future are listed in tabular form (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Spectral approximations to (1), (2) and (3), convenient for computing, are shown to have the same limits. Linear discriminant filters maximizing (1), (2) and (3) are approximated by the same methods and applied to seismic records from selected earthquakes and nuclear explosions.

The evaluation focused on the activities of two HUD - certified counseling agencies in Fresno, Calif. Prepurchase counseling was conducted as a class, while default counseling was delivered on an individual basis. The period of the study, with respect to loans, was January 1970 through August 1974. The loan records and personal characteristics of counseled mortgagers were compared with the records and characteristics of a control group of noncounseled mortgagers from the same subdivisions. Those who received prepurchase counseling only were compared with those who were not counseled. The foreclosure rate, default rate, and the number of late payments of the prepurchase group was statistically significant and lower than that of the noncounseled group at the 90 - percent confidence level. Delinquency and default counseling was not effective in reducing default or foreclosure rates from what otherwise would be expected to occur in the absence of counseling. Based on the analyzed data, no conclusion can be reached as to the effectiveness of counseling as a generic activity. The Assistant Secretary for Housing and Management should consider initiating a limited number of carefully controlled experiments to further test improving default counseling. Appended materials include statistical analysis, tested hypotheses, and tables of mortgage history by sample characteristics and type of counseling (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD had received reports of deceptive advertising, fraudulent sales practices, loss of deposits, undisclosed management contracts, long term recreation leases, hardships faced by tenants who are forced to relocate from converted buildings, and inadequate disclosure of the condition of converted buildings. Eighteen speakers addressed the hearing, including members of the Florida legislature and representatives of real estate, homebuilding, banking, and consumer associations. Their presentations, along with recorded and written statements and supplementary materials received for the record from other representatives and private citizens, are contained in the document. Various matters of concern in the development of condominiums were considered at the hearing, including building requirements, legal issues, recreational activities, condominium maintenance, abuses by condominium associations, the cooperative form of ownership, and condominium costs relative to those of other forms of housing (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

A Staff Study Y1 - 1975/// AB - Findings are reported from a study that evaluated HUD's past experience with Title X and assessed the program's present potential as a result of recent legislative changes, current market conditions, and HUD's land use policy. Enacted in 1965, Title X empowers the Federal Housing Authority commissioner to authorize mortgage insurance to assist private developers in obtaining private financing for land acquisition and development. Some of Title X's production problems have been (1) limitation in production due to a lack of policy emphasis; (2) inadequacy of understanding of Title X among developers, financers, and HUD area office personnel; (3) failure of Title X's conservative loan - to - value ratio to be an attractive financing alternative; (4) conservatism of land valuation techniques in some area offices; and (5) slowness of the Title X application process. The key reason for Title X's failure to encourage better land use has been the lack of a clear policy definition. However, the financers, developers, and planners interviewed were virtually unanimous in believing that the amended Title X offers considerable potential for future use. Title X could support increased production because the loan-to-value ratio is now more attractive and alternative financing mechanisms are now lacking. Production options for Title X are as follows: (1) it could be used to support limited production of traditional small - scale subdivisions and (2) it could encourage increased production in selected areas. Land use options include the encouragement of better land use in small - scale subdivisions, stimulation of the development of residential areas larger than small - scale subdivisions but smaller than new communities, and support in a number of ways for new communities.

Pursuant to Section 821 of the HUD Act of 1974, HUD surveyed the numbers and locations of condominiums and cooperative units, studied the nature of the problems, reviewed FHA's Section 234 condominium program, and prepared a draft State condominium statute. The hearings are the final part of the report, which was to be completed by August 22, 1975, and are directed to the Executive and Legislative Branches to assist them in reviewing legislative proposals dealing with condominiums and cooperatives. The statements consider Federal regulations; HUD building standards, technology and codes; market availability; existing projects, their successes and failures; zoning restrictions; and fraud in contracted company workmanship and in substandard materials. Condominium conversion is discussed, as are preferences for building new structures or working with existing buildings. Administration problems, user complaints, and legal fiascos are dealt with. Statements are presented by HUD staff, condominium owners and contractors, attorneys, mortgage company executives, leaders of national associations of cooperatives and condominiums, condominium residents, land developers, and senators (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

JO - Land Economics JF - Land Economics Y1 - 1975/02// VL - 51 IS - 1 M3 - Report SP - 86 PB - University of Wisconsin Press SN - 00237639 AB - The article presents changing roles of housing production subsidies and consumer housing subsidies in European national housing policy. In his housing policy recommendations to Congress on September 19, 1973, the President identified the housing allowance, i.e. direct cash assistance to housing occupants, as the most promising approach to help low income families. Recent trends in European housing subsidy policy reflect somewhat similar lines of thinking. In contrast to the early post-World War II period when they were negligible, by consumer subsidies, including housing allowances, rent rebates and differential rents, had risen to roughly 21 per cent of the total housing subsidies of eleven West European governments. However, this overall shift toward consumer subsidies basically reflects not a replacement of, but rather a supplement to, production subsidies. The article reviews the complex factors operating behind this significant shift and attempts to define the place of consumer housing subsidies in evolving national housing policy in Europe.

Title IV of the 1968 Housing and Urban Development Act authorized the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to issue loan guarantees to private developers of new communities. The major attraction to the private or public new town developer is the federal loan guarantee. Title VII doubled HUD's total amount of guarantees to $500 million. A single project could receive up to $50 million. With the federal government guaranteeing their loans, developers are able to borrow through private sources or offerings of public debentures at reduced interest rates and generally better terms. One of the past and continuing problems in implementing HUD New Communities is what could be termed ad hoc government involvement. This has occurred at all levels. While a HUD new community must comply with local and state reviews and approvals, these actions have very often been perfunctory.

Three types of political orientations are identified, Quitters, Conventionals, and Escalators. These orientations are associated with political partisanship, ideological preference, political trust, college major, and evaluations of government. Students fail to live up to the common stereotype of political extremists. Most propose political strategies that are quite ordinary and conventional. However, those who are politically liberal, who consider themselves to be independent of traditional partisan ties, and who harbor reservations about the trustworthiness of government are more likely than others to propose the use of unconventional tactics.

Because of heavy workloads, HUD regional staff were unable to conduct routine management review, but needed a method to determine which housing authorities required the most assistance during the years. The planning and evaluation staff developed criteria for the review system through background readings and discussions with regional housing management staffs. The factors selected focus on financial data because such data are readily available from routine reports and are indicative of any problems which a housing authority may experience. Also, housing management officers can complete the review from their desks and do not have to make a field trip. The review is limited to conventional units and has not been tested in the field. A form is provided which lists the review factors, notes the data sources, and allots spaces for responses and comments. Examples of review factors are vacancy rate, staff ratios, rent collection, subsidy income, and cash balances. A separate form rates management policy in regard to reports, leasing arrangements, insurance, salaries, and compliance with HUD regulations (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

National Housing Policy Review Y1 - 1976/// AB - Produced in response to a 1973 Presidential directive, this compilation of working papers on housing in the 1970's represents a variety of scholarly perspectives, some conflicting, on the Nation's housing policies -- past, present, and future. They were written under the auspices of the HUD National Housing Policy Review to serve as a wide - ranging study of Federal, State, and local housing programs. The intent was to analyze the effectiveness of these housing programs and to make a series of recommendations for future national housing policies. The volume organizes the contributions under the following topics: (1) legislative history, (2) major rationales for Federal Housing policies, (3) market barriers and, (4) rural housing. Some issues covered include the evolution of Federal legislative policy in housing, the impact of judicial and administrative decisions on legislative policy development and implementation, government intervention in housing as a means of achieving national growth policy and to assure equal rights in housing, and the appropriate role for government in housing. Also dealt with are the role of new construction subsidies in national housing policy and the effects of improved housing on citizens' mental and physical health. Other topics are land use controls and labor costs as market barriers, mortgage money barriers, alternative low - income housing for rural areas, and States laws regarding rural housing needs. This volume is one of two sets of working papers that accompany the main report on housing in the Seventies (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Specific topics include building codes for manufactured housing and the influence of model codes on local builders' acceptance of innovative technology, housing subsidies and their influence on housing starts, and the social aspects of Federal low - income housing. Also discussed are existing and proposed tax regulations related to real estate development and investment, rationales for homeowners' tax benefits, tax credits as a housing assistance system, rehabilitation versus redevelopment, and scattered versus concentrated housing rehabilitation. An evaluation of a proposed shallow subsidy rental housing production program is presented, as is a study of housing revenue sharing funds. Other topics include the benefits of direct loans versus interest rate subsidies, attitudes of State and local government and the general public toward federally subsidized housing, alternative mortgage forms, and consumer preferences in housing.

Comparisons are also made between this study's findings and those of previous HUD counseling evaluations. Additionally, a description and assessment of various approaches to default counseling are presented. Data were obtained from a demonstration program which provided default and delinquency counseling to Section 235 mortgagors between July 1974 and January 1975. About 1,500 homeowners in 5 cities were referred to 10 HUD - approved counseling agencies. The impact of counseling was measured by comparing the experiences of mortgagors referred to counseling to an equal number of mortgagors in the same cities not referred to the demonstration program. Results show that counseling had a significant impact on reducing foreclosures. Foreclosures were 36 percent more frequent for homeowners not receiving counseling. The effectiveness of counseling, however, was found to vary considerably by city and counseling agency. The impact of counseling in reducing foreclosure rates was found to be more modest in this demonstration than in earlier counseling demonstrations. The study hypothesizes that mortgage age may account for this difference. The counseling demonstration was cost effective; net savings were between $174 and $440 per referral, depending on the model used. The agencies emphasizing home counseling, in contrast to office counseling, debt collection services, and referral to other community social service agencies, were more effective in reducing foreclosure rates and produced more cost - effective counseling.

Field visits were used to collect information on the problems that entitlement cities encounter in setting up and operating programs, identify successful efforts in those programs, and discover strategies that could be adapted by cities contemplating or operating rehabilitation programs. This guide, developed from the site visits, presents the important elements of rehabilitation as illustrated by the Neighborhood Housing Services model, examines program planning techniques, and considers issues in loan processing and sustaining political commitment. It is recommended that cities undertaking loan programs or modifying existing procedures should concentrate during the initial stages on the administrative process and develop staff familiarity with loan procedures. Most cities' normal payment schedules must be modified to make timely payments to contractors for rehabilitation work. Arrangement should be negotiated with the city's finance manager to reduce delays in processing warrants for payment. Discussion of leveraging models indicates that Community Development Block Grant funds can be used to create a larger commitment of loan funds from private financial institutions.

The principles encourage the retention of architectural features representative of the age, history, and neighborhood culture of the building. They encourage reconstruction with these features in mind and preservation of distinguishing stylistic and hand - crafted features. A checklist suggests specific actions to be considered or avoided to ensure that the distinguishing qualities of buildings or neighborhood environments will not be damaged by new work.

JO - National Tax Journal JF - National Tax Journal Y1 - 1977/06// VL - 30 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 143 EP - 156 PB - National Tax Association SN - 00280283 AB - Recent proposals for financial reform have included a mortgage interest tax credit which would allow mortgage lenders to credit against taxes part of the interest income received from mortgages. The size of the credit would vary directly with the commitment (in terms of percentage of portfolio) to housing finance. The credit would replace a deduction already available to thrift institutions and represent a new tax advantage for other housing lenders. For all lenders, it would have the effect of increasing the after-tax rate of return to mortgage lending, thus portfolio shifts and affecting the flow of funds into housing finance and the market rate on mortgages. This paper analyzes the impact of such a credit on the portfolios and profitability of depository intermediaries, the major housing lenders, and on the demand for mortgages. It concludes the proposal as structured has little impact on the demand side of the mortgage marhet, represents a windfall gain for housing lenders and does little to induce new sources of funds into the housing finance system, a necessary element in any reform of that system to insure a smooth flow of funds into housing.

The central purpose of this paper is to eliminate one of the equations. This is done by assuming that prices clear goods markets instantaneously. That is, prices are given by equating aggregate demand and supply, the tradeoff between inflation and unemployment coming from unemployment affecting wages, which affect equilibrium prices. There are two reasons for making the assumption. First, while it is not unrealistic to argue that goods markets do not clear immediately, it does not appear to serve a major purpose to assume they do not clear. There is a second, more substantive theoretical issue. The model, of course, is meant to depict actual disequilibrium transactions. Unemployment is the difference between the usual labor demand and supply curves, coming from high real wages. Yet during every instant of the adjustment we could observe excess supply of goods that is overproduction.

The experiences documented in the article are not merely benevolent attempts to muffle the clichés of "town and gown" rivalry. These experiments in modes of cooperation between practitioners and scholars speak optimistically to some fundamental issues, which confuse the field of public administration and underlie its "identity crisis." They speak informatively to the Department's intergovernmental efforts to help local governments manage pressing urban problems. According to the author, one is convinced that effectively implementing departmental policies depends largely on the management capacity and sophistication of local governments. Efforts described in this article can greatly improve local institutions, both academic and governmental, which share a concern for the quality of urban living.

Data on HUD / FHA applications and insurance applications were examined first for Region IV and then for each of the field offices within it. About 90 percent of all applications were accepted across the region. About 85 percent of all applications were accepted in noncore areas. Most field offices supported this acceptance rate, but two offices had core acceptances considerably lower than noncore ones. Reasons for rejection were not related to property location. Significantly more repairs were required on core housing than on noncore. Appraisals more than $500 higher than the sale price were twice as common in noncore areas than in core ones. The average difference between appraisals and proposed sale prices was considerably higher in core areas. Appraisals $2,000 or more below the sale price were more common in noncore areas. A higher proportion of differences in the prices of older homes was found in core areas. Staff appraisers were more likely to handle appraisals of core housing than fee appraisers hired by the agency. In some field office areas staff appraisals resulted in higher numbers of repairs and higher repair costs. Recommendations include increased sensitivity of appraisers to the problems of core areas, research on appraisal standards, development of special appraisal standards for inner city use. In addition, HUD's repair responsibilities should be clarified to buyers, and staff training should emphasize broader utilization of single family mortgage insurance.

This study involved a literature review and interviews with persons knowledgeable in adobe construction, as well as a meeting in New Mexico with the project sponsors. Based on computer models, the New Mexico Energy Institute has devised effective U - values measuring the dynamic thermal performance of adobe, and incorporated them into the State's Conservation Code. The primary project goal is to test these models on site in actual performance, thus proving adobe an energy efficient building material, acceptable by national building standards. The plan is to build several adobe envelopes differing in thickness, insulation, and soil stabilization, and measure their thermal performance under monitored weather conditions. The data would be computerized for tabulation and various extrapolations. This report identifies factors that must be incorporated into the research, such as orientation to the sun, exterior color, and the ingredients of adobe brick. The $320,000 proposed for the project was deemed excessively high by experts consulted. The declining use of adobe was investigated, and Federal regulations for use of HUD funds were found to be the cause of high construction costs of adobe houses. Recommendations are made for further study of the proposal and possible amendments to it.

Beginning with an overview of the role of citizen involvement in community development, the guide describes the geographic scale of areas targeted for citizen participation, and identifies groups that must be included when forming advisory committees or during other processes. The importance of communication between public officials and citizens is emphasized in a discussion of disclosure and access standards for all records, publication of information and notices, public hearings, and community meetings. To fulfill the HUD requirement that citizen participation be continuous throughout all phases of a CDBG program, the roles of citizens' groups in the grant application, the operations of the actual project, and the final evaluation are detailed. Types of technical assistance that can be obtained by community organizations and procedures regarding citizen complaints about the program are also considered. Separate chapters cover citizen participation requirements for the small cities program and Urban Development Action Grants. The text of the HUD regulations on citizen participation in CDBG is appended and contains references to the guidebook that explain particular rules.

Part 1 Y1 - 1978/// AB - The first volume in a three - part series, this report presents the 1979 budget estimates for HUD's housing and community development programs. Their basic goals are to revitalize urban areas, provide shelter and fair housing opportunities for all Americans, and increase the capacities of communities and neighborhoods to achieve revitalization. Therefore, the 1979 budget increases the estimates of unit reservations for assisted housing and shifts funds to programs that promote urban and neighborhood revival. An overview describes HUD's departmental reorganization, appropriations request, budget authority, employment levels, and operating expenses. Separate sections then present estimates for HUD's housing programs, the Government National Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association. The justifications format provides a summary of the budget request, identifies changes from the original 1978 budget estimates, and offers explanations of any increases or decreases. Individual programs and their activities in recent years are reviewed. Tables and charts are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

An Evaluation of the Title VIII Process in Region IX Y1 - 1978/// AB - The findings of this evaluation report strongly suggest that HUD's Title VIII process is ineffective in achieving its goal to reduce discriminatory housing practices. HUD spent $430,000 in 1976 to support Title VIII in Region IX. Out of a total of 1,117 cases processed, only 117 resulted in affirmative action agreements, while 26 resulted in a monetary settlement and 1 in housing relief. Adequate monitoring to ensure compliance with affirmative action agreements was not performed, and monetary awards totaled only $18,387. Other direct impacts of the process appeared minimal. The Title VIII process was further weakened by HUD's maintaining the role of mediator when in fact it is an advocate for the complainant. HUD also has inadequate powers to enforce the conciliation process. Three major alternatives are recommended to increase the potential of Title VIII to impact housing discrimination practices: (1) strengthen Title VIII with powers of enforcement; (2) delegate complaint processing to those with enforcement powers; and (3) take steps to improve the existing Title VIII system. The report recommends that Alternative 3 be implemented in the short term and that a policy decision be made advocating the adoption of either Alternative 1 or 2 in the long term. It also recommends that the Regional Administrator consider requesting that Region IX be designated as a demonstration region for the implementation of Alternative 2 beginning in October 1978 for a period of 3 years.

Female-Headed Households Y1 - 1978/// M3 - Report AB - This summary of data on female-headed households indicates that most live in housing that is older and less adequate than that of the general population; the housing units are more often rented than owned; and women in this category must spend a greater proportion of their income on housing than does the general population. Data also show that if a woman is black or Hispanic, or if she heads a large family, there are even greater disparities between her housing and that of the population as a whole. The report concludes that income, household size, race, and ethnicity condition the probability of a female-headed household living in adequate housing. Statistical tables provide information on physical characteristics of the housing, income level, geographic location and size of city, household size, and other demographic data for the total population, all female-headed households, and black and Hispanic female-headed households.

It initially reviews the process of American urbanization and the changing national patterns of population distribution and economic activity that have produced a new stage in the Nation's urban development. The report discusses specific changes in energy and resource availability, population, lifestyles, and the economy affecting changing population trends. The next sections focus on the problems of urban communities in transition and ways that the public and private sectors can address their needs. The final chapter details the process used in formulating a national urban policy, both its interagency and public consultation aspects. It also summarizes the principles, objectives, and strategies recommended by the Urban and Regional Policy Group which was created by President Carter in 1977 to draw up his urban policy. The appendices contain the texts of the National Urban Policy and New Community Development Act of 1970 and the President's March 1978 message to Congress on the national urban policy. Tables and about 120 references are provided. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Information was gathered from HUD area offices in Region IV, public associations, and other unspecified sources. Areas of consideration include: (1) technical assistance, (2) the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) small communities program, (3) CDBG regulatory hardships, (4) assisted housing program problems, (5) program overlap, and (6) funding level adequacy. In addition, the housing problems of small communities and rural areas are considered separately. The report recommends that HUD should allow staff working with these areas to conduct greater outreach and training efforts. Officials in small communities and rural areas are often less technically oriented than their metropolitan counterparts and require additional assistance. Regulations and application requirements for HUD programs in these areas should be simplified and streamlined. Multifamily housing represents an area of large potential in these less developed areas. Both 701 program and low - income housing funding to these nonmetropolitan areas should be increased. HUD should sponsor joint funding efforts to eliminate resource duplication. Tabular data and copies of related correspondence are included. Participant housing recommendations are listed (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The recommendations cover tenant recognition, scope and form of organized tenant participation, funding of tenant organizations, and tenant access to and representation on the local housing authority boards. Recommendations also expound upon access to HUD, tenant employment and housing authority staff, demolition of public housing projects, maintaining the low - income character of public housing, and a mechanism for dispute settlement. The last two recommendations discuss compliance, sanctions, and changes in HUD regulations. Other chapters of the report detail recommendations concerning a national advisory committee, tenant management, subsidies, modernization, utilities, social services, classification and size of public housing authorities, and urban initiatives.

There has been much debate about the desirability and even the constitutionality of independent regulatory agencies. As regulation has become more and more a part of the U.S. everyday life, it is attacked less on the grounds of constitutionality and more on the grounds of its alleged ineffectiveness. institutionalize protection of vested interests. Many groups, ranging from presidential study commissions to public interest organizations, have studied the problem of regulatory agencies. Although the problems identified are broad in scope, their solution has been found in a restructuring of the regulatory agencies principally by abolishing the collegial body. If reform of some sort seems necessary now, deregulation rather than restructuring is the concept that has captured the popular imagination.

JO - American Economic Review JF - American Economic Review Y1 - 1978/12// VL - 68 IS - 5 M3 - Article SP - 896 PB - American Economic Association SN - 00028282 AB - The traditional model of spatial competition follows the assumption in location theory that firms set price as if they are monopolists within their market area. In this article a second model is developed from an assumption about pricing. It believes that at each firm conjectures all other firms will leave their price unchanged. The article finds this assumption is closer to the way firms behave in most real world situations. It analyses many of the results found in spatial price theory using the traditional assumption also found in the second model using the monopolistic competition assumption. Thus while one is not able to rule out all perverse spatial results, one is able to show that the conditions under which they are likely to be realized are much more restrictive than earlier believed. The second model also leads to a generalized class of models encompassing a wide range of competitive reactions. The article also considers the relationship between space and the theory of the firm. In addition it lists the characteristics that one think reasonable spatial model should possess. These are subsequently used in discussing alternative models.

The workshop focuses on the psychological, physical, social, and economic characteristics of the elderly which distinguish them from other residents. For meeting the needs of older residents, the workbook discusses needs assessment, mobilizing community resources, developing program strategies, evaluating services, and obtaining funds for social services. Definitions of the chief characteristics of the elderly, society's response to them, and new trends in public opinion about aging are provided for housing managers. Specific aspects of the elderly that are described include physical, sensory, and biological changes; chronic illness; sexuality; mobility; mental illness; organic brain disorders; functional or nonorganic disorders; depression; paranoia; special problems of elderly women; role and status; self - esteem; poverty; and economic supports. Responsibilities for managers regarding each of these aspects are delineated. A self - evaluation test is provided. An instructor's guide is available (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Participant's Workbook Y1 - 1979/// AB - To enable housing managers to communicate more effectively with residents, employees, and supervisors, this workbook, 1 of 18 developed by HUD to upgrade management skills in HUD - related housing, discusses the qualities of a good listener, elements of a communications model, principles of good communication, and the responsibilities of managers with respect to feedback. When listening, a manager should avoid asking questions before the person is finished speaking; interpreting words or feelings without feedback; giving advice; indicating disapproval; and belittling, ridiculing, or arguing. Managers should carefully time the release of information, clarify their ideas before communicating, examine the true purpose of each communication, and consider the total physical and human setting whenever communicating. In addition, they should consult with others when planning communications, being mindful of the overtones as well as the basic content of the message. When conveying messages, the manager should say something of help or value to the receiver. Then they ought to send followup messages to get feedback. Postponing disagreeable communications is undesirable; ensuring that actions support communications, desirable. In addition, managers must accept responsibility for providing prompt and helpful feedback to tenants and others, and for obtaining as much information about their own acts and behavior as possible.

In FY 1978, CDBG funds were distributed to over 3,000 communities and urban counties to help finance community development projects. Funding allocations to the neediest cities increased as a result of the dual formula authorized in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1977. Furthermore, benefits going to low - income and moderate - income persons have increased significantly. Neighborhood preservation accounted for 42 percent of all CDBG funds in FY 1978. Other major strategies, which each accounted for about 15 percent of program funds, include economic development, general development, and redevelopment. Interviews with local community development administrators, civic groups, and citizens in sample cities indicated that most projects were either on or close to schedule and had achieved a satisfactory level of impact. Revised regulations were issued in March 1978 to improve program performance in relation to low - income and moderate - income benefits, neighborhood strategy areas, economic development, comprehensive strategies, Housing Assistance Plans, and citizen participation. The report assesses the effects of these guidelines and notes that levels of effort directed at low - income and moderate - income persons have increased, cities' adaptation to the Neighborhood Strategy Areas approach was achieved without substantial difficulty, and citizen participation plans were developed. A description of the sampling method used to gather data for this report is appended. Tables and graphs are included. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Participant's Workbook Y1 - 1979/// AB - This workbook on energy management for housing managers is 1 of 18 developed by HUD to upgrade management skills in HUD - related housing. Many of the principles presented should also be viewed by students and instructors as applicable to multifamily housing management practices in the private sector. The workbook is designed to prepare housing managers to conserve the energy consumed in a housing development and to equip them to encourage residents' compliance with easy and commonsense methods of home conservation of fuels, water, and electricity. It discusses energy management principles concerning drapes; windows and doors; attics, ceilings, and walls; refrigerators; ranges; washers and dryers; dishwashers; disposals and compactors; televisions and radios; and heating and cooling. Among the many nontechnical measures discussed are opening drapes to use the sun for heat when heat is desirable and keeping them closed at other times; running appliances and thermostats on the lowest settings possible to get the job done; and avoiding loss of heat or cold by restricting opening of doors to the house, refrigerator, and oven when in operation. As such the workbook emphasizes practical knowledge that can be applied to real problems and situations. It contains a posttest and a skill test.

A representative sample of 1,460 recently built or constructed Indian housing units in 35 separate projects in Region IX was selected. Findings revealed that for fiscal year 1977 and the first quarter of fiscal year 1978, the costs of Indian housing units exceeded the costs of the comparison sample of Section 8 projects by over $26,000 per unit. Over $14,000 of the excess $26,000 were costs that were either essential or uncontrollable; the majority of the remaining costs were judged to be controllable and could be reduced by appropriate administrative action. These included single - family detached design, controllable site improvements, and large floor areas. It was recommended that the Director of the Office of Indian Programs take steps to speed up initial project planning and reduce development delays; establish architectural and site design standards based on the prototype house concept; encourage architects and designers to develop duplexes, row houses, walkup apartments, and Planned Unit Developments; and, with the help of the Regional Administrator, initiate policy to reduce the cost of Indian housing units.

Primary research areas for 1980 are urban economic development, public finance, and tax policy; neighborhood reinvestment and revitalization; cost of housing; special users, elderly, and handicapped; housing market discrimination and racial integration; and alternative housing finance mechanisms. Community Development Block Grants and Section 8 are the key areas designated for evaluations. The 1980 budget proposes an appropriation of $53,000,000 for the development and implementation of research, demonstration, and evaluation programs. The 1979 appropriation request was reduced $4,500,000 by congressional action. This reduction accounts for the adjustments in obligation and outlay estimates. Budget decreases occur in the following research areas: housing safety and standards, consumer and equal opportunity, and community conservation. Increases occur in housing economic data and analyses, energy conservation and standards, program evaluation, and research program support and utilization. Outlays will be about the same for 1979 and 1980. Detailed budget descriptions are provided for each of the research divisions. Tables are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

It was originally developed to help HUD evaluate the Section 8 program in Region IX. The 43 annotated citations include books, journal articles, and research studies. The annotations are detailed, giving study methodology, sample size, and significant findings. In addition, there are 37 unannotated references. Much of the research attempts to identify the primary causes of residential segregation. (In most of the literature, 'minority' generally means black, and it is difficult to say whether the results are generalizable to other minorities.) The viewpoints are divided between those who cite socioeconomic or class differences as the primary cause of segregation (i.e., minorities cannot afford to live in white neighborhoods) and those who feel that racial attitudes are so important that segregation would persist even if the income levels of minority and white populations were equalized. Housing costs, employment patterns, and the effects of racial change on property values are also covered in these studies (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The Experience of the Section 202 Program from 1959 to 1977 Y1 - 1979/// AB - Results are presented of an evaluation of HUD's Section 202 program. Section 202, enacted as part of the Housing Act of 1959 to provide 'independent living' for elderly and handicapped persons, authorizes direct loans to nonprofit organizations for developing and operating multifamily housing projects. The evaluation addresses these issues: population being served, character and quality of project housing, efficiency of the program in management of government funds and in reducing tenant rents, and financial viability of the projects. Major elements of the study design were a review of program history and operations, collection of inventory data on all projects, direct observation of projects, and interviews with project sponsors, managers, field office staff, representatives of public housing authorities, and local social service agency personnel. Findings reveal that the program serves mainly white, elderly females with moderate - to - middle incomes. Males, blacks, other minorities, the handicapped, and persons with very low incomes are less frequently served. Section 202 projects are generally well designed and are located in safe areas with access to services. Section 202 project construction is as cost effective as that of two other subsidy projects for the elderly and more efficient in terms of reductions of rent per dollar of subsidy. Section 202 projects have shown a high degree of financial viability over the life of the program. Despite its basic strengths, the program does sponsor projects which vary significantly in quality and extent of services. The overall success of the program is attributed to its design features, small scale, unified management structure, and targeting to elderly persons. Detailed findings and tabular data are provided, and a list of HUD - funded housing programs for the elderly and handicapped, and descriptions of cost effectiveness (technical analysis), and of subsidies, rent reductions, and subsidy efficiency analysis are appended (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Measurable progress was made in program delivery, with housing construction starts at a record 4,599 units, and other production goals being met or exceeded. The fiscal performance of Indian Housing Authorities appears to have improved due to the revisions of the Housing and Community Development Act. This act removed the disadvantage faced by Indian tribes in competing for funding with small cities. Delivery of Housing and Community Development programs, however, remains hampered by construction expenditures due to widely scattered sites and difficult terrain and by complicated housing management for low - income clients who lack the financial ability to meet maintenance, utility, and program fee requirements. Among the factors contributing to construction costs in Indian communities that are higher than those for other assisted housing are out - of - date or inappropriate prototype costs, contractor and Government agency preconstruction development delays, regulatory constraints, tribal unit designs, Indian preferences, and wage rate expectations. Management problems are severe with respect to participant collections and maintenance of adequate management controls and accounting records. Program and policy initiatives discussed include the issuance of revised Indian Housing Regulations, operating subsidy revisions, modernization activities, interdepartmental working group status, and others.

Many of the principles presented should be viewed by students and instructors as applicable to multifamily housing management practices in the private sector. The workbook attempts to prepare the housing manager to be able to carry out the stipulations set forth in contractual lease agreements. It has three overall goals: to enable the manager to interpret the content of a lease to residents, to assist the manager in implementing the rights and responsibilities expressed in a lease, and to enable the manager to enforce the responsibilities expressed in a lease. Some specific study topics include lease provisions (names of parties, amount and due date of rent, security deposit, etc.); lease terminology; management responsibilities regarding such areas as common grounds maintenance, unit inspection, repair, and lease termination notification; and resident responsibilities concerning rent payment, use and subletting of property, and disruptive noise and behavior. Enforcement of lease provisions through eviction and notice of housing code violations and housing rule infractions (management) and grievance procedures and reporting housing regulation and code violations (resident) is covered. Under each goal are statements about the specific knowledge participants are expected to acquire in the workshop and those practical skills managers need to implement on the job.

Participant's Workbook Y1 - 1979/// AB - This workbook on litigation, regulations, and guidelines in housing management was designed by HUD for the housing manager in an effort to upgrade management skills in HUD - related housing. Many of the principles presented should be viewed by students and instructors as applicable to multifamily housing management practices in the private sector. The goals of the workbook are to enable managers to comply with responsibilities resulting from relevant court decisions, with relevant local laws and regulations, and with relevant Federal legislation and guidelines. It emphasizes practical knowledge acquired from the workbook that managers can apply to real problems and situations. Examples are presented of court decisions concerning rent determinations, admissions, evictions, and security. The workbook also discusses the four key elements in housing codes -- coverage, minimum standards, responsibilities of management / residents, and enforcement -- and examines rent control, planning and zoning, and urban renewal. Discussion also focuses on the legislative decisions affecting managers in the areas of income definition, project maintenance, terms of the lease, and evictions and grievances. The workbook describes HUD guidelines for owners and managers of section 202 elderly developments. A posttest and a skill test are included.

Participant's Workbook Y1 - 1979/// AB - This participant's workbook accompanies one of a series of 18 developed for HUD housing management workshops; it concentrates on housing management for handicapped and disabled persons. The purpose of this workshop is two - fold: (1) to provide advanced students of housing management and inexperienced housing managers with an understanding of the special needs of disabled and handicapped persons and their relationships with the broader community in which they live and (2) to consider how these factors affect the role of the manager of specialized housing facilities. Special attention is directed to the unique responsibilities of the housing manager against the background of the historical responses of society to the disabled. Also focused on are the characteristics of the major causes of disability, the prevalence of disability in the U.S., the psychosocial and architectural barriers which limit accessibility to the community (including personal attitudes), the concepts of normalization and independent living, and the current legislation and programs affecting the disabled. The basic managerial tasks associated with the occupancy cycle, security, and resident relations are reexamined in the context of specialized housing. Finally, the development of skills in coordinating service networks and helping residents to help themselves is emphasized. Resources for each subject area are provided and an appendix supplies a self - evaluation test. An instructor's guide is also available (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

All of these programs focus on improving the quality of urban life by providing enhanced opportunities for employment and for revitalizing urban neighborhoods. To help people live in decent homes, HUD has established the Public Housing Program, the Public Housing Urban Initiatives Program, operating assistance for troubled multifamily projects, homeownership assistance for lower - income families, Property Rehabilitation Loans, and home improvement loans. Other programs to assist people in obtaining better housing are the Housing Counseling Program, the Urban Homesteading Program, and the Federal Housing Administration Loan Program. The Indian Housing Program is designed to assist Indians and Alaskan Natives who qualify to develop improved housing in their communities. Other special programs are the Graduated Payment Mortgage for young couples trying to purchase their own homes, Housing for the Elderly and Handicapped, loans for mobile homes, and the Housing Program for the Chronically Mentally Ill. The booklet includes explanations of real estate settlement procedures, how to avoid lead poisoning, and common discrimination tactics and what to do about them, as well as a description of the Office of Interstate Land Sales Registration.

Six objectives of housing policy are listed and discussed: (1) meeting assisted housing needs through new construction starts and increased occupancy levels; (2) fully using the existing housing stock by reclaiming and restoring deteriorated units; (3) being responsive to the particular needs of individual communities; (4) increasing the housing choices available to low income and minority families; (5) improving the delivery system of housing services to small towns and rural areas; and (6) encouraging middle - income households to remain in or return to the older urban areas. Statistics on housing production and marketing show that, while multifamily and mobile home output was meager, the single family housing production level of 1.451 million units in 1977 was the highest volume on record, with the exception of one or two years in the early 1950s. The outlook for housing production and marketing throughout 1978 is for continued high levels of output, although the total volume is expected to be somewhat lower than in 1977. Housing prices and costs continue to be a matter of concern, and trends in construction and operating costs in relation to general prices in the economy and the incomes of homeowners and renters are discussed. Changes in the quality of the nation's existing housing stock, based on evidence from the decennial census and the Annual Housing Survey are examined. It is concluded there will be no significant supply shortages in 1978. Statistical tables are included, and the appendices discuss Federal aids for housing, preservation of existing housing and neighborhoods, nonfinancial resources for housing production, availability of mortgage funds for housing in 1978, and a comparative review of European experience in determining future housing requirements (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Participant's Workbook Y1 - 1979/// AB - Part of a series of 18 in a HUD housing management curriculum, this workbook strives to better prepare the housing management professional to undertake a variety of personnel functions. The workbook's five objectives are to familiarize the student with (1) personnel planning and policy, (2) personnel recruitment and selection, (3) personnel training, (4) preferred methods of assigning and scheduling work, and (5) preferred methods of handling performance evaluations and other personnel actions. For instance, charts provide information on the principal laws that affect the development of personnel policies in housing authorities, pointers are given on what kind of information to ask for from job applicants and on where to recruit personnel, and priorities management is described with regard to planning work assignments. Each of the goal areas has a learning objective and anticipated practice outcomes (those practical skills the professional is expected to implement on the job using information acquired in the workshop).

Two reports involve groups of local governments and a regional planning commission or council of governments, and another two cover obtaining aid from State governments. In Minnesota, the Arrowhead Planning and Development Commission supported the joint efforts of the local governments to find services that could be administered jointly, but made no effort to direct those efforts. In Georgia, the Southeast Georgia Planning and Development Commission played a strong leadership role and acted as a champion for some innovations, but only after the representatives of local governments agreed on the areas in which they most wanted assistance. In each case, the approach was successful because it met local needs and was appropriate to local ways of doing things. Two different types of roles were played in the State - local projects. In Rhode Island, the State's Department of Community Affairs began with a strongly directive (but still interactive) approach in support of a particular improvement: resources management assistance included equipment, personnel, and workhours and funds. Over the life of the project, the approach was modified to respond to local needs, even though the result was a variety of different improvements. In Connecticut, the State Department of Environmental Protection acted solely as a facilitator, obtaining agreements from Federal agencies to donate the time of experts, and funding a coordinator position in the Southeastern Connecticut Regional Planning Agency to respond to requests for expert help. The Washington self - improvement project drew on private sector expertise to produce a variety of recommendations on law and procedures changes.

Research objectives include estimating the number of conversions which have occurred nationally since 1970, identifying them geographically, and projecting conversion estimates for 1980 to 1985. In addition, the factors contributing to the increase of conversions are assessed, as well as the impacts that the process may have on households to be affected (especially low - income and elderly), the housing market, neighborhoods, and Federal and local tax revenues. A multifaceted research methodology will be used, consisting of (1) a literature review; (2) a two - staged field study, the first taking place in 12 standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's), the second in 36 SMSA's; (3) a survey of households affected in the 12 SMSA's which have the highest level of activity; (4) a national telephone survey of city officials in over 300 communities; (5) an analysis of Annual Housing Survey data; and (6) a HUD catalog of current programs relating to conversions. Another stage of the field study will include in - depth interviews with specialists in conversion procedures such as lawyers, housing officials, developers, bankers, market experts, and planners. A random sample of two groups of households will be interviewed: tenants who have bought or continue to rent units in converted buildings, and those who have moved out because of conversion. All data collected in these exercises will be used as input for projecting both the number of conversions to occur in the 1980 - 1985 period and the demand for conversion units during this period. Trends will be estimated for future conversions. Footnotes and a matrix of objectives, questions, and methodology are included.

Participant's Workbook Y1 - 1979/// AB - This workbook on resident participation in the housing management process is 1 of 18 in a housing management curriculum developed by HUD for housing managers. It has been designed to upgrade management skills in HUD - related housing. Many of the principles presented should also be viewed by students and instructors as applicable to multifamily housing management practices in the private sector. The workbook familiarizes managers with the various types of resident participation, with appropriate goals for such participation, and with specific strategies for increasing the impact of residents in making decisions and developing policies for their communities. Common areas of resident participation through a resident council are monitoring the cleanliness and safety of public areas, having a voice in setting housing policy, and reacting to rent increases and other management moves affecting tenants. The workbook reviews the rights and responsibilities of managers and of residents of federally assisted housing to place management / resident relations in a professional and balanced perspective. It reviews the historical development of resident participation, the benefits of resident participation in the management process, the role of resident organizations, and the role of management in resident organization. The workbook emphasizes practical skills that can be applied to real problems and situations. A posttest and a skill test are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

A Reply to the Touche/Ross First National Bank Study, 'Urban Fiscal Stress JF - Urban Fiscal Crisis: Fact or Fantasy. A Reply to the Touche/Ross First National Bank Study, 'Urban Fiscal Stress Y1 - 1979/// AB - The study 'Urban Fiscal Stress,' is characterized in this report as an inadequate assessment of either the worth of city credit or city fiscal distress. According to the report under analysis, only 4 of the 66 cities studied suffered signs of serious fiscal stress, a fundamentally incorrect finding. The following conceptual and methodological weaknesses make the study findings highly unreliable: (1) the sample is badly constructed -- therefore, the findings cannot be generalized; (2) the narrow definition of fiscal stress produces questionable results; (3) the study ignores both the quantity and the quality of the services a city delivers to its residents; and (4) the study uses only 1975 data. The future of our cities still demands the priority attention of government at all levels; despite the improved financial position of many major central cities since 1977, their fiscal stability has deteriorated significantly in recent years. They have not only become increasingly dependent on outside aid for balancing their budgets, but they are also vulnerable to cyclical swings in the national economy. The measures commonly used to assess the health and long - term prospects of urban areas are population, income, and employment. The following population trends illustrate the situation: (1) the population of central cities as a group declined by 4.6 percent from 1970 to 1977, while the suburban population increased by 12 percent; (2) a number of large central cities, which grew between 1960 and 1970, have lost population since 1970; (3) the loss of central city population between 1970 and 1977 is symptomatic of the long - term trend in the loss of central city dominance over Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's), which had extended as far back as 1900 in a number of urban areas; and (4) within the same SMSA, from March 1975 to March 1978, more than twice as many people moved from the central city to the suburbs as from the suburbs to the central city. Trends in central city income also indicate a city's fiscal condition, as shown by the drop in real dollar median income of families living in central cities, the decline in income per capita of central city residents and the large fraction of the national poverty population living in the central cities. A final indicator of fiscal pressure is city employment; trends are indicated. The facts presented in this critique clearly demonstrate the fragile nature of the fiscal health of the cities. Intergovernmental Fiscal Assistance Amendments of 1979 are now being considered by Congress to provide fiscal assistance to those urban areas suffering the most severe effects of long - term decline.

The Carter Administration proposes a second formula driven by different variables. Each grantee could choose that which generated the greater number of dollars. Analyzes these as well as 6 alternative formulae. Concludes that more empirical work regarding the relationship between the several variables and underlying urban problems is required. 4 tables, 21 notes, biblio.

Estimation of a traditional, nonlinear hedonic price equation in the first stage provides a basis for calculating implicit prices for housing attributes which are used in the second stage simultaneous equations model. Empirical results confirm the theoretically expected negative coefficient for each attribute in its own bid function and the expected positive or zero coefficient for each attribute in its own offer function. Cross price relationships reveal a general pattern of complementarity in consumption of housing attributes.

In order to reach the families who experience such problems, NN ran public service announcements on television and radio stations inviting persons discriminated against to call a toll-free number and tell of their experiences. Five hundred and fifty-four people from several metropolitan areas (Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, Hartford, Oklahoma City and Columbus, Ohio) responded to the announcements. Among the findings, 99 percent of the respondents reported that they had had difficulty in finding a place to live because of no-children policies. Most of the respondents complained that rental housing which accepts children is either too expensive or substandard, and sometimes both. When controlling for an income level of $15,000 and above, it was found that there was a significant difference between the housing problems experienced by minorities and those experienced by whites, with minorities reporting serious problems more often. These findings suggest that restrictive rental policies against children seriously affect the lives of a very diverse group of families--small and large, middle-class and poor, blacks and Hispanics.

It includes an overview of program funding and loan characteristics, an analysis of program beneficiaries, an examination of loan delinquency and local administration and an assessment of program accomplishments. The report concludes that despite its small size and limited scope the Section 312 program is an important contributor to the national effort to conserve and expand the housing stock. As of the date of this report, Section 312 had assisted more than 100,000 dwelling units since its inception, most of them located in central cities in areas exhibiting the greatest need for property rehabilitation. Extensive tabular material is included. Appendixes include the locality questionnaire and charts describing localities participating in the Section 312 program in FY 1979.

The report is designed to depict the rudiments of various possible responses under CDBG to a range of local energy needs and to widen interest among CDBG users for incorporating solar, conservation, and alternative energy systems into their ongoing housing, community, and economic development processes. Although CDBG is not an 'energy program' per se, neighborhood and commercial revitalization strategies which anticipate future energy prices in their project design and financing are encouraged. CDBG recognizes that significant changes toward conservation and alternative energy sources are warranted in every sector, from households to city hall, and offers the reports in this publication as examples of imaginative initiatives taken by individual communities to address a diverse array of energy problems. These projects evolved along with the normal course of CDBG procedures and regulations through advance energy planning, the adoption of conservation ordinances and administrative policies, and programs of assistance for weatherization. The narrative profiles have been arranged to highlight the key elements of each community's approach. Each description lists the program location, specific technology, problem addressed, community background, CDBG program solution, institutional arrangements, and project strategy. Also indicated are the names, locations, and phone numbers of local contact persons. Interagency cooperation features and special difficulties and accomplishments are also noted. Special attention is paid to feasibility studies and energy auditing. Among the energy problems addressed were weatherizations and several solar heating and cooling approaches. All the projects were conceived to meet an urgent community development need and to be of direct and, in several cases, sole benefit to low - income and moderate - income persons, as prescribed by CDBG program regulations.

Its goal was to identify and review the level and direction of changes in the condition of large cities and their surrounding areas. The trends described in the tables, which form the bulk of this report, are divided into the three standard dimensions of urban conditions -- social, economic, and fiscal. In most of the tables, the data are structured so that the central city can be easily compared with its outside area. The tables include information on population, density, and migration, as well as data on specific characteristics of the population, such as race, age, income, housing, and crime. Also presented are data on total employment by place of work, manufacturing employment, unemployment rates, and electrical use patterns as an example of energy use. Tables highlighting the governmental and fiscal characteristics of these large cities include information on government structure, taxation, and intergovernmental grants - in - aid. The report also reviews the major data sources used in the study. The sources are organized by type of indicator -- social, economic, and fiscal -- and by characteristics within each type. Most of the data for the study came from the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, and the 'County and City Data Book, 1977.' Significant trends indetermining the overall urban condition of the areas examined include the loss in population of the central cities of the East and Midwest and the gain in population of the cities in the South and West, the increase in the black population in all but five of the cities studied, the decline in central city per capita income from 1960 - 70, and the decline in central city employment in the East from 1970 - 77. Other trends were the decline in property tax rates in many central cities but the increase in nonschool tax collections in central cities and the increasing dependence of the central cities on intergovernmental aid.

Following a summary of HUD's 1978 Partnership Forum on Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization, the report examines the components of commercial revitalization and urban economic factors that have encouraged interest in this area. HUD programs to help communities stimulate their urban economies are described, such as Community Development Block Grants, Urban Development Action Grants, and Section 312 loans. Case studies indicate that integration with housing revitalization, public / private collaboration, technical assistance and merchant involvement, multiple commercial reinvestment models, and realistic timeframes are important to successful revitalization. Key steps in revitalizing a commercial area include choosing a target neighborhood based on the strength of the local market, the physical environment, and cohesiveness of local merchants; city commitment; business and community participation; design and construction; and financing and leverage. In this context, Federal sources offering grants for such projects are reviewed, including HUD, the Small Business Administration, and the Community Services Administration. In the final phase of revitalization, the focus of local efforts should expand to proper maintenance and joint promotional activities. Management options are surveyed, as are types of promotions.

The Small Cities Program is a vehicle which States, counties, and units of general local governments may use to undertake community development activities. The Small Cities Program is competitive, and successful applicants will be those communities whose programs benefit low - income and moderate - income persons to the greatest extent and most directly impact the applicant's demonstrated needs. Included in the Small Cities Program are two competitive funding areas -- metropolitan and nonmetropolitan. Metropolitan funding includes eligible units of government of all of the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the State. Recognizing that needs of communities vary widely, the Small Cities Program offers two types of grants -- comprehensive and single purpose; both are described in the booklet. Questions that cities and counties may have about the program are posed and answered. There are distinct differences in the procedures and regulations governing the single purpose and comprehensive grants; therefore, where appropriate, the answers distinguish information applicable to the two types of grants. The questions and answers deal essentially with the purpose and implementation of the Small Cities Program.

A National Study of Scope, Causes and Impacts Y1 - 1980/// AB - This report, prepared in response to a congressional directive, documents the present and future extent and the location of conversions; the factors contributing to their increasing numbers; and their effects on people, neighborhoods, and communities. Basic data were collected on converted buildings, the number of units they contained, and their locations. Data sources and methodologies were divided into four categories: (1) an inperson survey of current and former households in building units which have been or are in the process of being converted; (2) interviews with Federal, State, and local officials; (3) field visits by HUD staff to 37 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) during which about 400 personal interviews were held with local experts from both the private and public sectors; and (4) existing data sources, including the Annual Housing Survey, other census and legal documents, data, etc. Data indicate that since 1970, 366,000 rental housing units have been converted, with only 18,000 of these being cooperative conversions. The rate of conversion has been accelerating: from 1977 to 1979, 260,000 units were converted, 71 percent of the decade's total. Most of the conversions have been concentrated in the 37 largest SMSAs, and 59 percent have occurred in just 12 of these areas. Nationally, the volume of condominium and cooperative conversions is expected to increase through 1985. The net effect of conversions on the rental market has been to reduce the nation's supply of available rentals by 18,000 units in the 1970 to 1979 period. Tables, graphs, and footnotes are included. A glossary is appended. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Annotated Bibliography Y1 - 1980/// AB - This annotated bibliography lists over 150 books, articles, studies, and monographs related to condominium and cooperative conversion. The bibliography is the fourth publication in a group of HUD materials on condominium and cooperative conversion in the U.S. This bibliography was compiled from a search of computerized reference services, catalogs, indexes, professional organizations, and libraries. The resulting list of 650 citations was reduced by excluding materials not dealing with conversions as well as technical manuals and related materials. Sources for the bibliography were also gathered through site visits and followup telephone conversations. The documents are listed alphabetically by author. Most documents were published between 1975 and 1980. Topics include factors influencing success or failure of condominium conversion, financing and locating condominium developments, and other financial aspects of condominium development. Additional topics include displacement caused by condominium conversion, planning for conversion, and impacts of conversion on a city's tax base. Several documents examine individual cities' experiences with condominium or cooperative conversion. A brief summary of each document and the source from which to obtain the document are included.

Appendix 1 Y1 - 1980/// AB - This appendix to a report on converting rental housing to condominiums and cooperatives consists of field reports for each of the metropolitan areas included in the study, a review of Federal programs related to condominium and cooperative conversions, and supplemental tabular data. The conversion phenomenon is reported for such metropolitan areas as Atlanta, Ga.; Baltimore, Md.; Boston, Mass.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Chicago, Ill.; Houston, Tex.; and Washington, D.C. The same basic topics are covered in each field report. These include background information, level of demand for condominium units, housing supply, market conditions, effects of conversions on households, effects on tenants, effects on the housing markets, relationships to HUD and policy alternatives, and the conversion process. Since information about some aspects of the conversion phenomenon was not readily available in all localities some of the field reports are less detailed than others. Information was especially deficient in areas which had a relatively small number of conversions. Federal housing programs for conversions are discussed. Tables, maps, and footnotes are included.

It describes the purpose and methodology of each survey; summarizes the kinds of data each survey collected; and explains where to obtain additional documentation, printed reports, and the data files themselves. The Annual Housing Survey comprises two separate data collection efforts -- a national survey of a sample of housing units and a survey of sample housing units in 15 standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) each year, with a total of 60 selected SMSA's being surveyed every 4 years. The Survey of Developmental Needs of Small Cities involved interviewing nearly 2,000 mayors, city managers, selectmen and commissioners on local problems, facility adequacy, basis of economic support, growth experience, Federal government relations, and data and technical assistance needs, and the Survey on the Quality of Community Life entailed in - person interviews with 7,074 citizens, using open and closed - ended questions to tap views and concerns about communities and community life in general.

Multifamily housing occupancy data were examined and HUD personnel, management agents, and resident managers were interviewed in HUD Region IV. A majority of the projects were segregated by race in that at least 90 percent of the residents were either black or white. Percentages of projects in this category ranged between 57 and 88 percent. Many of the projects were 100 - percent segregated in this fashion. In some areas the ratio of minority occupancy paralleled the housing allocation distribution prescribed in the Housing Assistance Plan; in other areas considerable difference was found between actual minority occupancy and housing need. The quality of affirmative marketing plans varied. AFHM quality was not correlated to occupancy patterns. Housing sponsors and management agents were generally sympathetic to affirmative marketing but were not active in supporting it. The AFHM program was largely disregarded by all parties. Program administration was weak because fair housing and equal opportunity priorities had been shifted to other areas, travel and staff resources did not permit carrying out program functions, enforcement power was limited, and the program was perceived as inherently ineffective. Recommendations include liaison with civil rights and housing advocacy groups to enforce affirmative marketing, announcement of housing opportunities, project advertisement, and review of site selection policy.

The demonstration was concerned only with the effect of zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, and building codes on the cost of housing. The concept behind the demonstration was to ask the builder / developer to be creative and to design the site and the buildings to meet contemporary architectural, engineering, and site planning standards. The local governments were asked to permit minor deviations from existing regulations to permit the builders' innovations. They were also requested to provide expedited processing and to determine how rapidly reviews could be completed to enable construction to start as rapidly as possible. A limited demonstration in the following four locations was conducted: Hayward, Calif.; Shreveport, La.; Allegheny County, Pa.; and Clark County, Wash. Cost savings are noted for all sites. In Shreveport, the demonstration consisted of townhouses located on three inner - city sites. The builder estimates that about $15,000 was saved per unit, representing a 21 - percent reduction in cost from the comparable $70,000 unit that would be built with conventional processing times. The demonstration in Hayward included 58 townhouse units at a single location. The developer estimates cost savings ranging from $26,500 to $32,500 on the various kinds of housing units. Cost savings are also noted for Allegheny County and Clark County. Tabular data and drawings are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The report covers both 1979 and 1980 and describes the state of the housing inventory in 1977, the characteristics of housing production and marketing in 1978 and 1979, and anticipated developments in 1980. The section on housing production and marketing shows that, despite predictions of a downturn, 1978 was the fourth best year on record for housing starts, which amounted to 2.023 million. In 1979, the expected downturn in housing production and sales began; construction starts of 1.748 million were 14 percent below those for 1978. Most of the decline occurred in single family starts which fell by 0.24 million to 1.193 million in 1979. The outlook for housing production and marketing throughout 1980 is for further declines in housing starts, sales, and completions. The report notes that the Nation's housing stock grew by 1.5 million units in the year before November 1977, to 82.4 million units, and by another 2.2 million units by November 1978, to 84.6 million housing units. Rental stock grew only half as fast as the owner - occupied stock from 1970 to 1977. Finally, the report concludes there should be no supply problems in construction manpower, materials, and land resources at the anticipated low levels of production in 1980. Tabular data are given. Four appendices contain material on tax incentives, housing credit assistance, cash subsidy programs for production of new or rehabilitated housing, and cash subsidy programs for use of existing housing for lower income households.

In general, both citizens and businesses are on the move within and between metropolitan centers. Cities in the northeast and north - central sections have lost populations both to their suburbs and to southern cities. Many central cities lost jobs during the 1970's, particularly manufacturing jobs. Service and office jobs are now the principal growth sectors of city economies. Poverty levels increased among central city dwellers during the past decade -- especially among blacks and female - headed households. While housing has generally improved in these areas, abandonment and deterioration remain major problems. Those cities most in need of community service are those under the most severe financial strain. Rapid growth among suburbs has continued through the 1970's, but the focus has shifted toward fringe areas, and many older suburbs are facing urban distress. Nonmetropolitan area growth will continue in the 1980's at a moderate rate. Small to medium - size metropolitan areas are most conducive to transportation energy conservation and to reducing air pollution. Urban planning guidance should focus on the development of these areas. Limited housing choices have continued to restrict minorities to central city areas and poorer neighborhoods; flight to the suburbs has sometimes acted to create new segregated neighborhoods. As the governmental level most capable of equalizing funding among cities of varying economic strength, the Federal government should assume a greater role in this area. Urban policy action is required in three areas: (1) strengthening urban economies, (2) increasing equality of opportunity, and (3) guiding urban development.

By authority of Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, HUD provides lower income families with decent rental housing through a system of housing assistance payments. Public agencies such as local housing authorities, private nonprofit sponsors, and private profit - motivated sponsors may all participate in the Section 8 program, either by building new housing or substantially rehabilitating existing housing. Under both the rehabilitation and the new construction versions of the program, the developer enters into a contract with HUD or an appropriate State agency or local authority for housing assistance payments for a term up to 20 - 40 years (depending on how the project is financed). The Section 8 program does not in itself provide construction or permanent financing. It is strictly a rental assistance program whereby HUD pays the difference between an established market rent for the size of the unit and the amount of rent paid by the tenant, which is determined by his / her income according to a set of Federal guidelines. The questions and answers presented in the booklet deal essentially with the purpose and implementation of Section 8. Although there are some procedural differences between the new construction and rehabilitation versions of the program, the questions and answers are pertinent to both. The addresses and phone numbers of State HUD offices are listed. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

These components include organizational options, subsidy devices, loan mechanisms, land assembly tools, and Federal assistance programs. Economic development tools, mechanisms, and assistance programs have often been used in a fragmented manner in the past. However, trends in this area indicate that public jurisdiction efforts are becoming less divisive. Public and private activities are more coordinated than in the past, and there has been a growing emphasis on packaging development resources innovatively to meet the needs of the specific situation. Such innovation ranges from combining loan resources to combining financial, technical, and managerial mechanisms provided by Federal, State, and local development programs. A result of the increased reliance on packaging by public and private sector participants has been the encouragement of higher levels of leveraging. Packaging and increased leveraging are the basic causes of the success of present economic development efforts. Economic development case studies presented cover areas such as eminent domain, land banking, industrial revenue bonds, tax increment financing, tax abatements, loan guarantees, revolving loan funds, technical and management assistance, and planning and advisory units.

The program came about as a result of the Public Housing Security Demonstration Act of 1978 and targets the neediest public housing sites in the country. Over $8 million comes from local contributions, indicating the extent of Federal - local and public - private cooperation. The program has established a management by objectives system in which each of the chosen sites is implementing several basic program areas, including improved management of public safety, rehabiliated anticrime facilities and better physical security design, and increased involvement of tenants in fighting crime. Other program areas are more youth employment, improved anticrime services for targeted groups, (i.e., the elderly, drug abusers), and areawide public / private partnerships targeting public housing sites and surrounding neighborhoods. The program requires local solutions to crime. An evaluation component is planned. Appendices include the Public Housing Security Demonstration Act, interagency agreements, program notices, a report on crime in public housing, and other material. Endnotes, data tables, and about 30 references are included. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Out of this evolved the publication of three volumes. The third, 'Changing the Opportunity Structure for Women in the Public Sector,' is the focus of this report. CAWP prepared a series of options that, if implemented, would increase the number of women in government and help them become more effective public servants. The options highlighted here represent a core of activities that foundations, educational and research institutions, professional associations, public interest groups, and government agencies can undertake to bring more women into city management and to make their tenure fulfilling both for them and the public they serve. The options are of five kinds: to correct stereotypes, to improve recruiting, to develop skills and identify resources, to build support systems, and to update and extend research. Each option is described in terms of background and recommendations. Footnotes and references are included. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

JO - American Economic Review JF - American Economic Review Y1 - 1980/03// VL - 70 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 49 PB - American Economic Association SN - 00028282 AB - The article presents a forecasting model of the labor market for new Ph.d. economists. The most significant characteristic of model is its explicit introduction of wages as short-run equilibrators of supply and demand in the Ph.d. market and as determinants of the long-run supply of persons entering and completing graduate study in economics. The predictions derived are contrasted with predictions from a fixed-coefficients model in which there is no wage response. In 1972 economist Allan Cartter projected that the supply of new Ph.d. available for teaching would grow steadily through the 1970's while demand for new teachers would remain roughly constant. Over the 1980-85 period he estimated an average annual surplus of 817 economics research Ph.D.s, equal to 54 percent of the average annual output of doctorates. Interestingly, this projected surplus is almost equivalent to the entire actual output of Ph.D.s in 1972. Based on his results Cartter suggested various possible adjustments, primarily supply responses, that might occur.

The creation of FHA, FNMA and FHLMC were designed to homogenize the mortgage instrument and to develop a secondary market for it. Apparently because of a lack of demand for marketability by investors, extensive trading of mortgages has not developed. Nonetheless, the fantastic growth in mortgage pools (as well as the unanticipated growth in FNMA holdings) has in, creased competition in the supplying of some intermediation functions (mortgage hankers have greatly expanded originations and servicing), has improved interregional flows of mortgage funds, and has given mortgage borrowers a greater access to capital markets: generally. The principal result has been a decline in the mortgage rate relative to other market rates, although the inflation-triggered explosion in the demand for mortgage funds in recent years appears to be offsetting the impact of the growth in federal credit broadly defined.

Since poor neighborhoods have no comparative site advantages in which self-correcting market forces can halt the decline, an interventionist policy is desirable. Janet Rothenberg Pach's discussion (pp. 422-423) focuses on the taxation issues of such an interventionist program. 21 ref.

The major point of the comments relates to a misprint in the paper which states that it is the "smallest" positive root that is relevant. It should have read "largest." The statement appeared following the equation for equilibrium price with Loschian competition. The author suggests that the smaller root solution is unstable and inconsistent with nonnegative consumption. Only the larger root is economically admissible.

JO - American Economic Review JF - American Economic Review Y1 - 1980/09// VL - 70 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 738 PB - American Economic Association SN - 00028282 AB - The article discusses unemployment, inflation, and monetarism. The author does not agree with the interpretation of his analysis of a change in fiscal policy (f). In his paper, the "goods" market clears instantaneously, and output can change instantaneously. In terms of the phase diagram, the initial level of y changes instantaneously when f changes. Hence, he does not argue that the rise in f shifts the Dy=0 line. Rather, it raises the initial level of y. Subsequent adjustment of expectations moves the economy (f constant) into the northeast quadrant. When f is (instantaneously) reduced to its initial level, one is left not at the "origin," but rather at a point like "D" in the diagram. As is the case in all models that have a Phillips curve like equation and have g=g* in the long run, neither fiscal nor monetary policy affect y in the long run unless they directly enter the Phillips curve. With respect to long-run properties, it is certainly correct that the Dg*= 0 line might not be horizontal, the role of tax rates and labor supply certainly being plausible.

Indivisibilities, capital mobility and capital durability play a central role in the models. The indivisibilities alone will cause positive profits if the market is finite in size and small relative to the break-even size of the firm. The pure earnings issue does not appear to be sensitive to the assumption about individual demand curves. However, the pure profit equilibrium may entail higher welfare levels than zero profit balances.

The report also assesses program performance relative to program issues. Discussions of major topics and issues related to the implementation of the CDBG program focus on legislative and regulatory initiatives shaping the national program and particularly on how the current year's requirements are related to the program's legislative and regulatory history. In addition, information is provided on the appropriation, obligation, and disbursement of CDBG funds, with emphasis on the changes occurring between 1975 and 1980. Community development activities that grantees fund with CDBG monies are highlighted, including planned expenditures and some of the actual accomplishments entitlement grantees realized using their CDBG funds. Issues of current importance to the CDBG program are examined, such as expenditure rates, contract conditioning, neighborhood strategy areas, economic development, and planned housing assistance. Data used for the analysis come from various sources, but the primary source is the CDBG Evaluation Data Base, which consists of information coded from the CDBG applications and Grantee Performance Reports submitted by 200 entitlement cities selected by a stratified random sampling procedure. A glossary, figures, tables, a methodological appendix, and another appendix containing a large portion of the data collected for the main report's discussions are provided.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, Annual Report to Congress Y1 - 1981/// AB - Two HUD reports examine Indian housing programs and housing management and development issues, as well as Indian community development programs and their sources of assistance (block and action grants, technical aid, etc.). Construction starts over the past few years reflect a relatively high level of effort in developing housing units for Indians. Indian housing management problems continue to be a major obstacle to increasing the supply of HUD - assisted housing. Indian Housing Authorities are financially troubled, although some have made improvements due to HUD's technical assistance and funding. HUD allocated $2.3 million more to the Indian Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in 1982 than in the previous year. Most funds are being used effectively to meet high priority community needs. The report details community development fund use patterns and trends and comments on HUD organizational changes designed to improve program delivery. Data illustrate Indian CDBG funding from 1975 to 1981, and graphs and photographs are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Volume 9 Y1 - 1981/// AB - These eight papers discuss whether homeownership can remain an affordable option and whether the housing finance system can adapt to the new economic environment. One paper presents a model of housing investment that reflects existing tax treatment and financing arrangement describes the implications of this analysis for the real rate of return on housing during the past 15 years and for the implicit cost of housing services and the real rate of return on housing investment in the future, and analyzes the cash - flow burden resulting from anticipated inflation. Another study focuses on the nonrebatable tax credit as an alternative to the existing system of tax preferences for homeowners, using impact analysis based on simulations conducted with the Treasury Tax Model. Additional papers analyze the effect of various housing policy instruments on housing markets and explore the implications of a conventionally backed mortgage pass - through security guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association. In addition, the appropriate role of the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) in the housing market is examined, FNMA fees are compared with a theoretical standard using option pricing models, and a model that analyzes the consequences of removing the prohibition on issuing variable rate mortgages is presented. A final paper reviews the current state of financial reform, with emphasis on the housing finance system. Footnotes, tabular data, references, graphs, and other illustrations accompany most papers.

Appendices Y1 - 1981/// AB - These appendices contain support documents to the study report on the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). The study investigated the effectiveness of the 1974 act in encouraging homebuyers to shop around for settlement services (thereby increasing competition and reducing the cost of the services) and in eliminating abusive provider practices, such as kickbacks and referral fees. The materials contained in the appendices include the reports compiled on (1) the settlement process (including a statistical overview of closing costs in general and for the year 1979 and (2) the performance of the settlement process, with a description of the activities of mortgage lenders, the title insurance industry, the real estate attorney, the private mortgage insurance firm, real estate brokers, and property surveys. Additional reports measure RESPA's effectiveness in determining compliance with its advance disclosure provisions, the effects of RESPA on consumer and market behavior, and the impact of section 8 on kickbacks, referral fees, and commissions. A description of the state - of - the - art in public land recordance is included, with recommendations for a simpler, more effective recordance system; the report on alternatives to RESPA is also provided. This report suggests that RESPA has been basically ineffective, that current practices (wherein the mortgage lender selects the ancillary settlement services and business relationships are controlled) are actually the most efficient and economic methods for selection of services. It suggests that RESPA and parts of the Truth - In - Lending Act be eliminated and Congress instead consider requiring lenders to provide a package of settlement services for one price (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Many studies have been conducted with the aim of improving government policies, decision making, and operations; however, relatively little research has been carried out on the organization of public services. Recent findings suggest that this is a promising area. This article offers a conceptual framework for analyzing the institutional structure of public services, and presents it in the form of a related series of models. The framework builds upon the efforts of Sonenblum, Kirlin, and Ries [9] and of Ostrom, Parks, and Whitaker [51, and is an extension of this author's prior work [7]. This framework has been used as a starting point to analyze alternative service structures and lends itself to the formulation of various testable hypotheses concerning their relative merits.

AB - The most wide-scale attack on the housing problems suffered by elderly Americans was declared by Congress in 1974 with passage of the Housing and Community Development Act. The attack strategies and battle tactics are of two general types: the actual production of housing units and assistance for homeowners and renters in the form of cash benefits, rehabilitation loans, small repairs, and weatherization. This article presents the background and description of a major new longitudinal study of the housing adjustments of older Americans which is being supported jointly by the Departments of Housing and Urban Development and Health, Education and Welfare (HUD-HEW). In the next section, the key research and policy questions addressed by this study are reviewed. An assessment of the appropriateness of existing sets of data to study these questions follows in the third section. The sampling plan, survey design, and analysis strategies of the HUD-HEW study are discussed in the fourth, and final, section.

It concludes that FHA's long - term role depends upon the speed and effectiveness of the financial reforms and innovations now in progress. As the deregulation of the thrift industry progresses and thrift institutions become more competitive and efficient, and as the private sector develops instruments to attract nontraditional investors into the mortgage market, the need for FHA to serve these markets will decline. Meanwhile, FHA can help to stabilize a rapidly changing housing financing system. It can also help to foster the use of new mortgage instruments, which will play an increasingly important role in the housing finance system, especially for first - time home buyers. FHA can help assure an adequate flow of capital into the mortgage market by providing insurance for new instruments such as shared - appreciation and variable - rate loans. Other recommendations pertain to assisting various income groups to obtain home ownership, assuring an adequate level of new construction, moderating housing costs, and establishing mortgage loan limits on an area basis determined by sales price indices. Tables, graphs, and notes are included. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The proposed reform will emphasize preservation of existing housing stock instead of committing the Federal Government to costly, long - term assistance for the production of new housing. Beginning in 1983, the Modified Section 8 Housing Certificate Program will become the principal means of providing housing assistance to eligible low - income renters, but at substantially reduced cost to the taxpayer. The 1983 budget continues funding of Community Development Block Grants and Urban Development Action Grants at the same appropriation level as in 1982. A new grant program is also proposed in 1983, Rental Rehabilitation Grants, which will replace both the Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan Program and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program. The report presents HUD budget summary tables delineating program levels, budget authority, budget outlays, analysis of unexpended balance, assisted housing programs, property acquisitions and mortgage assignments, and a staff summary. It discusses annual contributions for assisted housing, low - rent public housing, the Rent Supplement Program, troubled projects, homeownership assistance (Section 235), the Rental Housing Assistance Program, housing payments, payments for operation of low - income housing projects, and the Congregate Services Program, as well as other programs. Other sections focus on the Government National Mortgage Association and the Federal National Mortgage Association. Numerous tables are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Congress and HUD eliminated unneccessary restraints on local flexibility in administering CDBG programs, and congressional appropriation to the CDBG program decreased 2.2 percent from 1980. The largest share (42 percent) of funds was allocated to CDBG objectives associated with the elimination of slums, blight, and detrimental conditions. Cities spent almost half of their CDBG funds on conserving or expanding the housing stock. UDAG regulations were revised to emphasize economic distress and recovery as program objectives. The North Central region received most UDAG funds, followed by the Northeast; about two - thirds of UDAG dollars were used for direct incentives (i.e., loans). Section 312 debt collection efforts substantially reduced loan delinquencies and improved collection efforts. The program's fund commitment levels remained high and fund distribution patterns shifted slightly toward larger, UDAG - eligible jurisdictions. Most Homesteading funds have been allocated to local programs. The 96 communities approved for participation in the Homesteading program were clustered in the north central and northeast sections of the country. A total of 84 percent of the properties acquired for homesteading had been conditionally transferred to homesteaders, and 76 percent had been occupied by homesteaders. The report includes data tables, endnotes, and an appended list of fiscal 1981 UDAG awards. (Author abstract modified) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Energy consumption declined by 3.9 percent in 1980 and by a further 3.3 percent in 1981. The United States is importing less than 13 percent of its total energy needs, as opposed to 24 percent in 1977. These dramatic changes are due to the increased use of alternative renewable resources rather than conventional fuels, public awareness of the need to conserve energy, and the many energy conservation and research programs and new energy policies instigated since 1977. Major tools used in encouraging energy conservation have included federally supported research, development, and demonstration projects; technical assistance; grants, loans, and other financial incentives; Federal regulations and voluntary standards; the reduction of institutional and regulatory barriers to conservation; and dissemination of information to public and private entities and individuals. The report discusses the evolution of national energy policy since 1977, describes the major programs through which energy considerations have been included in community development and redevelopment, and summarizes the results in energy savings and the use of renewable resources.

The environment for home financing has changed dramatically since the statutory framework for the system was established in the 1930's, and it is now evident that the rules governing the operation of housing finance institutions are no longer in the best interests of the Nation. Rapid inflation, high and fluctuating interest rates, and increased market competition have seriously weakened the system. Developments in financial markets in recent years clearly indicate that broader operating powers are essential to the health of thrift institutions and that special tax incentives designed to keep the assets of these institutions concentrated in residential mortgage instruments should be modified. The President's Commission on Housing offers its recommendations with a single goal in mind: the creation of a system that will provide a stable and growing supply of housing credit, at reasonable cost, with minimal Federal involvement. The recommendations deal with three areas: operating powers of depository institutions, tax incentives for mortgage investment, and laws and regulations that adversely affect the supply and cost of mortgage credit. In addition to recommendations, this report discusses the history and performance of the housing finance system, the operating powers of housing finance institutions, tax incentives for mortgage investors, and laws and regulations that discourage diversified private institutions from investing in residential mortgages to raise the cost of credit for mortgage borrowers. The final chapter considers the patterns of housing finance that are likely to evolve in the 1980's and indicates how the recommendations in the report can influence the process of change in ways that will lead to a stronger system.

Data were collected on fire safety equipment in 556 projects from 26 public housing authorities located in all areas of the country. The fire safety equipment requirements which new public housing projects would have to meet under the current HUD Minimum Property Standards were selected as the appropriate benchmark against which to evaluate and compare the projects. Findings indicate that some public housing projects do not meet all the latest fire safety standards for new buildings. This is not an unexpected finding since fire safety standards often are not retroactive to existing buildings, public or private. Nonconformance to the latest standard does not, in most instances, constitute a serious hazard. There are, however, a number of individual public housing projects where some fire safety equipment is inoperable due to a lack of maintenance or vandalism. To help address these problems, HUD has implemented regulations with statutory emphasis on needs relating to fire safety standards in the Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program for public housing.

The creation of experimental Enterprise Zones is planned for distressed inner cities to produce jobs and revitalize those areas. The primary responsibility of the Federal Government is establishing a healthy national economic environment within which States and localities can address the needs of their particular circumstances. The forms of Federal assistance to spur private market initiatives include targeted tax incentives, targeted discretionary grants, and technical assistance for cost - effective economic development strategies. Job training assistance is to be made available under block grants. Housing, infrastructure, and crime are deemed the most pressing problems of American cities. HUD's Joint Venture for Affordable Housing is to assist builders, developers, and local government to modify zoning, building, and subdivision ordinances to lower the cost of new residential construction. Technical assistance will be provided local governments in planning, budgeting, and information gathering about capital stock to aid infrastructural improvements. Law Enforcement Coordinating Committees in Federal judicial districts will channel Federal involvement in anticrime efforts against violent crimes. Federal training programs and efforts against drug trafficking are being strengthened. Reform legislation focusing on bail, sentencing, victim / witness protection, and higher penalties for drug trafficking will be endorsed. These and other efforts are part of the general Federalism initiative by which increased responsibility is to be devolved from the Federal to State and local levels.

The study aimed to identify gaps in the existing information sources, to propose ways to fill these gaps, and identify ways of locally assessing the housing needs of handicapped persons. The three most common methods for gathering data on the disabled are extrapolation from census material or other secondary sources, surveys of social service agencies and other groups associated with disabled persons, and direct surveys of disabled persons. Among drawbacks of census data are their lack of timeliness, their absence of data on persons over age 64, and the general nature of the questions asked. Other national surveys are those conducted by the Social Security Administration, HUD, and the National Center for Health Statistics. In view of the absence of necessary information at the Federal level, State and local officials must decide how to assess the housing and community development needs of their disabled citizens. Among ways to approach this activity are to conduct comprehensive needs assessments on a State or local basis, or to investigate specific needs, such as the need for modified housing. The initial identification of the universe of disabled persons in the area to be surveyed will be the major problem to be encountered. Among past State and local studies are Minnesota's statewide assessment of disabilities in 1976 and New York City's creation of a Handicapped Housing Data Bank. As a first step in gathering data, State and local officials may want to standardize and, if possible, centralize a minimum set of data kept by various service agencies. The Handicapped Housing Data Bank is another feasible method for developing data for local needs assessments. Nineteen sources consulted for the study are listed (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Those approaches which can be transferred and implemented now include Rural Track Processing, involving the cooperation of HUD and rural communities in promoting multifamily housing production, and Relocation / Replacement Housing, which used relocation assistance grants to facilitate the construction of new housing for low - income elderly people. The other successful approaches involved a rural service center, rural rehabilitation, and a joint municipal housing cooperative. Those programs having limited applicability include the Modified Turnkey III; the Rural 1000, involving the development of assisted housing in small communities; Delegated Processing; use of subsidized housing, and Rural Neighborhood Housing Services.

It reviews efforts of the Office of Housing in public and Indian housing, housing rehabilitation for low - income families, multifamily and single family housing, deregulation, and regulatory reform. The summary of programs operated by the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) focused on Community Development Block Grants and Urban Development Action Grants. Many actions were directed toward increasing local discretion and lessening the extent of Federal involvement in determining how and where entitlement funds are used. An important accomplishment of the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity was designating housing assistance funds for a special effort to demonstrate that minority builders and developers can gain a greater share of the home building market. The Office of Policy Development and Research took significant actions to reduce fraud and mismanagement in administrative services, developed handbooks to guide regional staff, and supported research promoting more cost - effective use of existing housing stock and enforcement of housing quality standards. Also covered are the Government National Mortgage Association, the New Community Development Corporation, and the Offices of Legislation and Congressional Relations, Administration, General Counsel, Inspector General, and the HUD Secretary.

JO - American Economic Review JF - American Economic Review Y1 - 1982/03// VL - 72 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 154 PB - American Economic Association SN - 00028282 AB - The article presents an investigation into the measurement of the cost of housing. The focus is first on setting up a theoretical foundation for properly measuring the cost of housing and then present some estimates of how these measures would have affected the movement of inflation in the 1970's, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). It is argued that the CPI has been significantly affected by using an inappropriate measure of owner-occupied housing costs, with the rise in both housing costs and the CPI being overstated. Given the number of government programs and private contracts that are tied to the CPI, this result is of some significance. The mismeasurement has also had an impact on the way inflation is commonly perceived, as is evidenced by misdirected concerns raised in the 1970's about housing "affordability." There are two reasons for the results. The first is the failure to allow for the tax treatment of owner-occupied housing and the second is the failure to account for the capital gains coming from homeownership. The purpose of the theoretical section is to derive how these should be treated. Here the focus is entirely on the "capital cost" part of housing costs, leaving "operating costs" unchanged dealing only with the owner-occupied housing and leaving rental costs unchanged.

It reviews previous models of the housing market in the country. A simple but general model of housing as a financial asset that allows the examination of the influences of a wide range of factors is presented. The article discusses the econometric specification of the model. The findings from the model and their policy implications are summarized. The study provides evidence that a higher inflation rate raises equilibrium house prices because of the tax treatment of owner-occupied housing relative to other assets.

First, we examine the trends in housing and mortgage market data and policy. This review highlights the perceived relationships of these sectors to the rest of the economy. We then focus on mad develop the relationship between four issues that have been fundamental stumbling blocks to the development of effective policy. The issues are: (1) homeownership affordability, (2) measures of housing needs, (3) the corn of cycles in housing production, and (4) the effects of federal mortgage credit programs.

Individual chapters on each program cover historical data, recent developments, appropriations, expenditures, effects of 1981 legislative changes, administrative reforms, grantees' characteristics and projects, funding patterns, and monitoring activities. As a result of the 1981 Amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act, paperwork required from grantees in the CDBG programs was reduced considerably and 36 States plus Puerto Rico chose to administer their own Small Cities programs. HUD concentrated the Action Grant program more fully on economic development activities that create new permanent jobs and increase tax bases as well as on strengthened operating procedures and a broadened field office role. Preliminary data indicate that the Rental Rehabilitation Demonstration Programs operated by 14 States and 185 local governments have favorable per unit costs and leveraging ratios and are regarded positively by local officials. While no legislative changes occurred in the Urban Homesteading Program, HUD initiated several administrative changes relating to internal controls and streamlining regulations and application procedures. HUD has proposed terminating the Section 312 program in 1984. Since Congress did not appropriate any funds for the program in 1982, it has operated entirely from loan repayments and other income recoveries. The report provides references, tables, and a list of Urban Development Action Grant awards for 1982 (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The four main HUD programs are homeownership opportunity programs, public housing rental for low-income persons, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, and the Urban Development Action Grant program. Accomplishments during the year include reducing development costs, producing manufactured and modular homes, providing operating subsidies, and promoting housing for elderly Alaskan natives. Highlights of the CDBG program were the publication of new regulations streamlining the program, increasing the funding emphasis on economic development, increasing the number of tribes funded, and funding a jobs program.

Study results appear to vary considerably, depending on the market area served and overall economic conditions, the type of person being counseled, the agency which offers the counseling, the skill of the counselor, and the particular approach to counseling that is used. Counseling services have been funded by other primary sources of funding, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, more than by the Housing Counseling Program. Local governments should be encouraged to seek or continue to use the funding available through the CDBG Program for funding of housing counseling services. Finally, the voluntary portion of the Housing Counseling Program, which includes training or technical assistance mainly by HUD field staff, could be effectively used to certify agencies and thoroughly train housing counselors.

The hand-outs are to accompany the seven instructional modules in the trainer's notebook. The Rental Rehabilitation Program consists of formula allocations of grant funds and housing assistance funds to States and localities for rental rehabilitation. The program intends for rehabilitation to benefit lower income tenants. Property underwriting and rehabilitation assistance are separate from rental assistance, and rehabilitation is to occur in the private market without rent controls. Small properties stand the best chance of rehabilitation. The program emphasizes that States and localities should design their own programs and must work closely with public housing authorities. The hand - outs cover program goals and requirements, funding requirements and formula allocations, program eligibility and applications requirements and criteria, as well as program management issues and program design considerations. They show that fund allocations are based on the percentage of tenants in poverty, the percentage of poor tenants in pre-1940 units, and the percentage of deficient rental units. Cities (those over 50,000 population) and urban counties will receive most program funds. The grant application process is illustrated. The report emphasizes that applicants must file on time, must prepare a program description covering 14 elements, and must execute 6 certifications. An application schedule is provided for both States and cities/counties. Mention is made of annual performance adjustments and steps in the cash management system.

Each of the seven instructional modules includes visual aids for training use. Suggested explanations to accompany the manual's slide show are also provided in the modules. The manual presents the following as program goals: rehabilitation must benefit lower income tenants, property underwriting and rehabilitation assistance are separate from rental assistance, rehabilitation is to occur in the private market without special rent controls, small properties are best rehabilitated, and States/localities should design their own programs and must work closely with Public Housing Authorities. Generally, the Rental Rehabilitation Program consists of formula allocations of grant funds and housing assistance funds to States and localities. The manual explains how formula allocations of funds work and describes who is eligible (neighborhoods and properties) to participate in the program. The text also explains how to apply the statutory subsidy limits. The manual explores the application procedures for localities, States, and small cities when States do not operate the program. It describes the content of applications and HUD's application review criteria. Management issues are also addressed. The manual explains how program funds will be reallocated during each fiscal year to ensure expeditious use of appropriations. It shows how good performance and selection of stable low - rent target areas will be rewarded with performance adjustments, and it discusses management reporting requirements and the operation of the cash management system. Program design issues and options are also discussed. No references are cited (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The Reagan Administration's three-part urban strategy is to maintain sustained noninflationary economic growth, increase State and local government's authority and flexibility in managing their own resources, and stimulate public and private cooperation in improving urban social and physical conditions through more effectively aiding the needy, improving the quality of education, addressing the housing needs of low-income and middle-income households, repairing the Nation's infrastructure, and reducing crime. The report documents sustained urban economic expansion with a reduced inflation rate, increased production, a rise in the gross national product, and a rise in employment. The Administration's consolidation and deregulation initiatives are reviewed to show how State and local governments are assuming increased responsibility in meeting the needs of their jurisdictions. Other achievements reported include (1) the President's directing national attention to the quality of education, generating reform across the Nation; (2) survey results showing that urban infrastructure needs are now regarded as manageable; (3) an increase in housing starts and increase in the number of low-income families receiving housing assistance; and (4) a significant decrease in serious crime.

Following an introduction to the concept of public-private partnership and a review of the evolution of Federal policy, critical issues of partnership formation and operation, power-sharing, leveraging, and targeting are examined as they relate to both housing development and commercial development. Conclusions derived from the overall study of partnership operation include (1) public officials must be entrepreneurial in attracting a pool of dedicated loan capital through which low-interest, subsidized loans can be made and (2) leveraging can help public seed money go a long way. Cities must provide sufficient incentives to make private compliance with public targeting of benefits attractive, and public-private partnerships must be based on mutual trust and commitment.

The 18 communities not only participated in the demonstration, but also provided subsidies under Section 312, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation, and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs. Projects supported under the demonstration and Section 8 programs were about twice as productive in improving low - income housing opportunities as those supported under Section 312 and CDBG's. Rehabilitation efforts involving relatively moderate levels of investment were more productive than projects involving more substantial rehabilitation. Local choices concerning the kinds of properties and provision of rent assistance to lower - income households appeared more important than formal program structure in determining how much benefit was achieved for a given level of public expenditure. Careful selection of properties to receive subsidies can achieve the major goals of most local rent rehabilitation programs -- to stimulate private investment in rental housing and aid lower income households. Overall, the study showed that the newly enacted Rental Rehabilitation Program has the potential to be quite productive, provided localities make the proper choices in implementing the program.

Data and information were drawn from such sources as 2 national surveys, over 30 local studies, 10 site visits, and various discussions with national and State groups as well as Federal agencies. For the purposes of the study, the homeless are counted as those whose nighttime residences are in public or private emergency shelters or in public or private space not designed for shelter. Using four approaches to estimating the national number of homeless persons, the range of estimates was found to be 192,000 to 586,000. The most reliable range appears to be 250,000 to 350,000 on an average night in December 1983 or January 1984. The West has the highest share of the Nation's homeless, and the greatest majority are found in large metropolitan areas. While homeless persons were found to be a heterogenous group, they can be clustered in three basic categories: people with chronic disabilities (including alcohol and drug addiction), people who have experienced severe personal crises, and those who have suffered from adverse economic conditions. The private (mostly nonprofit) sector operates most of the shelters for the homeless, provides almost two - thirds of the financing for shelters, volunteers a large amount of staffing labor, and makes in - kind donations of food and supplies. Operations are often subsidized by public funding. Local, State, and Federal programs or monies provide subsidies for the homeless. The appendixes contain sampling and estimation procedures and an annotated bibliography of 99 reports on the homeless. Tabular data are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Findings are based on over 500 interviews with knowledgeable local observers in a nationally representative sample of 60 metropolitan areas, a national survey of emergency shelter operators, site visits to 10 localities across the Nation, a 50-State survey of State activities, discussions with representatives of national organizations concerned about the homeless, and a review of available local studies and reports. The homeless are defined as persons whose nighttime residence is an emergency shelter, public area, or public facility. Although there has been no thorough census of the homeless population, the data sources of this study produce an estimate of 192,000 to 586,000. The estimate is broken down by region and city size. The profile of the homeless over time examines the extent of their alcohol abuse and mental illness, personal crises that have precipitated homelessness, their economic conditions, prior housing, demography, length of homelessness, and regional and city-size variations. The review of shelters and other services considers national shelter capacity, shelter profiles, shelter services and rules, shelter occupancy, costs, and the roles of various governmental levels and the private sector in providing services for the homeless.

As interesting as the growth of direct expenditures for economic development has been the proliferation of off-budget financing tools and types of non-financial assistance being brought to bear in heightened competition for new industry and in defense of established economic bases. Mere enumeration of these tools is beyond the scope of this brief introduction. Also of interest and concern, especially to public administrators, is the emergence of other forms of business assistance. Private development corporations or public/private partnerships also frequently have been delegated government authority to manage industrial parks or complex development projects. An important characteristic of both these institutional innovations and the new development tools they administer is their relatively low visibility and removal from the ordinary political process. The dual challenge to both scholars and administrators is first to keep up with the evolving pattern of tools and institutions and second to evaluate their use critically.

Comparisons with the 1960's and 1970's are provided. Age profiles for the 1980's show an 11 - percent increase in the 25 - 34 age category, a 43 - percent increase in the 35 - 44 age group, a slight decrease in the 54 - 64 group, and a 17 - percent increase in the elderly. The total housing inventory is expected to increase by 16 to 19 percent, and nonmetropolitan areas will continue to grow faster than urban ones. The report anticipates that housing unit loss rates will not return to levels as high as the 1960's, but will fluctuate around levels experienced during 1973 - 81. If housing becomes more affordable and new construction is stimulated, less upkeep of old units might result in higher loss rates. The total potential demand for additional housing supplies from all sources throughout the 1980's ranges from less than 2.1 million units to less than 2.5 million units per year. Metropolitan areas will continue to be the major source of potential housing demand. The estimates also address sources of housing supply other than new construction; the proportion of new construction intended for owner occupancy; and the demands of large families, minorities, and the elderly. The methodology is briefly described. Reference notes and tables are supplied (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The major principles and components by which those governments have fashioned their systems are described, and the place of housing allowances in a national housing subsidy policy is considered. Further, whether or not housing allowance systems have met their original objectives is considered, and conclusions are drawn from foreign experience with respect to central policy issues: whether foreign assistance to low - income families should be in the form of consumer housing subsidies, producer housing subsidies, or a synthesis of the two; and whether the housing allowance should be maintained as a separatehousing policy or integrated into general income maintenance policy. European governments are indicated to be resisting the integration of the two systems and maintaining their housing systems intact. Finally, various critical issues are identified, regardless of whether housing allowance programs are integrated with income maintenance systems or coordinated with them. These issues include more uniform income definitions, more uniform eligibility requirements, and greater program adequacy in coping with poverty.

The focus is usually on default, which is viewed as a put option (to sell the house to the lender in exchange for the mortgage) and prepayment, which is viewed as a call option (to buy the mortgage from the lender). Analysis then uses techniques like those used to price options in capital markets. Unfortunately, homeowners do not seem to exercise their option as quickly as do traders in organized markets. We estimate prepayment and default functions, which are meant to be a first step in developing modified, option-based models of mortgage pricing.

The standard provides specifications for elements of buildings and facilities that can be used in making functional spaces accessible. It is applicable to new buildings and facilities and includes spaces and elements, site improvements, and public walks; remodeling and rehabilitation of existing construction; and permanent, temporary, and emergency conditions. It is intended for adoption by government agencies and organizations setting codes to achieve uniformity in the technical design criteria in building codes and other regulations; it can also be used by nongovernmental sources as technical design guidelines or requirements. The 1986 edition facilitates its referencing in building codes and federal design standards in the interest of achieving uniformity in design specifications. Changes were also made to the standard to align it with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standard which was developed during the review process for this standard. Other changes in the ANSI standard reflect technological developments specifically in alarm and communications systems for use by visually or hearing impaired individuals (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

While the first three elements foster improved conditions in cities, the fourth attempts to create new avenues of opportunity for the urban poor. The report discusses each of these areas of administration policy in detail. A chapter on urban economics concentrates on recent structural changes, such as the revitalization of the 'downtown' in many cities, and examines Federal, State, and local efforts to promote urban economic development, such as enterprise zones, community development block grants, and small business opportunities. Social conditions discussed in the following chapter include housing assistance, fair housing, education and training, and welfare and other assistance programs, as well as two areas that decisively affect cities' quality of life -- health care and crime. The final chapter discusses neighborhood revitalization, infrastructure, and urban environmental protection (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

There is little evidence that suburban locations are more open to blacks than central cities. The findings reported here do provide support for urban policies that increase mobility. Blacks are able to benefit from suburban conditions, conditions which lower the probability of service dissatisfaction and reduce racial distinctions In the assessment of local service provision.

The projects profiled in this videotape are all recipients of IYSH Special Merit Awards. They include: 1) Community Corporation of Santa Monica Self-Help Construction Program, Santa Monica, California, a nonprofit organization created by local citizens to increase the supply of rental housing available at affordable prices. 2) Urban Homesteading Program, Hartford, Connecticut, where, for a nominal fee, the city sells abandoned properties to local families who invest sweat equity in their new homes,thus increasing the supply of housing and halting urban decline. 3) Project Self-Sufficiency, Los Angeles County, California, which offers low-income single parents a package of services including job training, education, transportation, child care, and housing assistance in order to help them gain self-sufficiency and independence from the welfare system. 4) Kentucky Mountain Housing Development Corporation, Manchester, Kentucky, which benefits homeowners and the unemployed in a unique project that reduces housing costs by employing apprentice construction workers and thereby imparting useful job skills to the untrained or unemployed. The videotape features onsite interviews with project participants as well as program operators; vignettes provide a colorful glimpse into how these programs are transforming the housing as well as the quality of life of the families involved (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

All of the 12 options recognize that the Federal Government has always intended FNMA to be private and that legislation in 1954 and 1968 has already moved the corporation partially into the private sector. Legislation in 1968 rechartered FNMA as a private corporation with limited Federal oversight. Over the past 15 years, FNMA has held between 5 and 6 percent of all residential mortgages in its portfolio. Its business has shifted almost entirely from the FHA and VA market to the conventional market. These changes have occurred in the context of deregulation and innovation that have transformed the system of mortgage finance. FNMA has survived its serious financial problems of the early 1980's. The options presented in the report recognize possible variations in the pace and nature of the privatization intended for the organization. Advantages and disadvantages of each option, data tables, and footnotes are provided (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

These are the Offices of the Secretary, General Counsel, Housing, Public and Indian Housing, Community Planning and Development, Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, Policy Development and Research, Legislation and Congressional Relations, Administration, and the Inspector General. Activities are also reported for the Government National Mortgage Association and the Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Bank. Achievements reported include housing assistance to 130,000 additional families and a reduction of the assisted housing debt to approximately $223 billion, a dramatic decline from the nearly one quarter of a trillion dollar debt reached in the early 1980's. Expensive new construction programs and project-based subsidies have been replaced with housing vouchers. The maintenance and rehabilitation of existing housing has been emphasized to increase the availability of quality, low-income rental units, with special attention to vacant, substandard public housing that can be restored to family use. HUD has targeted assistance to cities and towns through grants, rental rehabilitation, and other community development programs. Title I claims processing has improved timeliness by 77.9 percent. HUD has also supported State and local efforts to ensure fair housing (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Based on Annual Housing Survey data, affordability difficulties grew between 1975 and 1983 by either measure. The conventional measure, however, overestimated the extent of quality-based affordability difficulty for renters by 20% in 1975 and 24% in 1983 based upon Section 8 housing quality standards. In addition, 36% of rental households with an affordability problem by the conventional measure did not have an affordability problem by the quality-based measure, while 19 to 23% of rental households found to have an affordability problem by the quality-based measure were not so classified using the conventional measure.

The program achievements reported helped States and communities address locally-identified community development, economic development, and housing rehabilitation needs. They support the revitalization of housing and property, the repair of infrastructure, and the creation of business opportunities and jobs. After a brief statement of the purposes, funding levels, participation, and activities supported by these programs, the report describes the CDBG entitlement program during fiscal year 1987 and actual expenditures for fiscal year 1985. Funding and activities are then described for the State CDBG and HUD-administered Small Cities programs. The initial $10 million Emergency Shelter Grants program is discussed, followed by a review of the funding, participation, and progress of the UDAG program. Current development and status are reported for housing rehabilitation programs administered by the Office of Community Planning and Development.

The 1988 program will focus on increasing housing affordability through technological and regulatory improvements, enhancing the quality of life of public housing tenants, and promoting the cost-effective management of public housing. PD and R will design appropriate programs to ensure a supply of affordable rental housing in a post tax-reform economy and develop cost-effective policies for the management, operation, and maintenance of the insured and assisted multifamily housing inventory. It will also monitor and evaluate tax policy and its impact on homeownership and rental housing while maintaining the stability of the housing finance system through continued improvements to secondary market institutions and regulatory systems. Home ownership opportunities will be enhanced through the design of sound mortgage instruments and improvement in existing Federal Housing Administration programs. PD and R will increase the enforcement of fair housing laws and develop new strategies to promote fair and nondiscriminatory housing. An appropriate Federal role will be developed in support of community and economic development (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The program offers a comprehensive package of services including housing, education, child care, transportation, counseling, and job training and placement assistance to very low-income single parents who want to learn the skills necessary for full employment and economic independence. A key feature is public-private partnerships. The guidebook is based on the experiences of 155 programs operating around the country since 1984. Nine of the guidebook's 10 chapters cover the major program components. The chapters are: (1) 'Getting Started,' which discusses leadership, staffing, needs assessment, and developing an action plan; (2) 'Making the Business Connection,' which contains hints from business people on how to obtain private sector support; (3) 'Selecting the Participants'; (4) 'The Counseling Component'; (5) 'The Training Component'; (6) 'Job Development and Placement Strategies'; (7) 'The Child Care Component'; (8) 'The Housing Component'; and (9) 'Other Support Services,' which offers advice on how to help participants meet some of the basic needs not covered in other chapters, including Aid to Families with Dependent Children, health care services, postsecondary education, transportation, clothing for interviewing and employment, and tools and special equipment. Each chapter includes a section listing sources of additional, related information. Chapter 10, 'Points to Remember,' contains a number of helpful reminders to consider throughout the life of a program. The addresses and telephone numbers of relevant regional federal offices are appended. (FMW) (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD began this community-based demonstration in 1984 and has tested it in 155 communities throughout the United States. The program uses housing assistance as an incentive to communities to develop public-private partnerships to provide resources and services to help low-income families move toward self-sufficiency.

The Reagan administration's success in maintaining rapid, noninflationary economic growth has paid dividends for urban economies. The economies of almost all metropolitan areas have grown at a healthy pace during the 1980's, and most are adapting well to substantial changes in the sectoral composition of the American economy. In promoting local government creativity by replacing highly regulated categorical programs with block grants, the Reagan administration has moderated, streamlined, and deregulated aid to cities, allowing increased State and local government control over their own budget decisions. Cities and States have been able to stabilize their budgets, secure their tax bases, and for most, run consistent operating budget surpluses. Regarding the physical environment, the Federal Government has entrusted this to States and localities, with the exception of interstate highways and certain hazardous waste sites. Overall, the Nation's urban policy for the 1990's should focus on the shift from Federal to State and local activities, including the problems in neighborhoods, families, and education.

PS-S, initiated by HUD as a national demonstration in 1984, used Section 8 Existing Housing certificates as an incentive for communities to develop public-private partnerships that would provide a comprehensive program of housing, child care, transportation, personal and career counseling, education, job training, and job placement assistance to help families break the poverty cycle. According to project directors, as of May 1988, more than half the 155 demonstration communities have decided to continue their self-sufficiency efforts after the local demonstration phase ends. Participant outcomes are reported by project directors to be very favorable. The report on the lessons learned by the project directors pertains to the value of housing assistance, the public-private partnerships, the contribution of the local government's chief executive officer, the consequences of effort level for program effectiveness, the selection of motivated participants, the comprehensive service package, the effectiveness of education and training resources, and job placement strategies. The report also summarizes HUD's policies and activities to promote self-sufficiency programs (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The Congregate Housing Services Act of 1978 authorizes HUD to enter into 3- to 5-year grants/contracts with eligible public housing agencies and Section 202 borrowers to provide meals and other supportive services to eligible project residents. As of December 31, 1986, 61 of the 62 grantees were operational. Approximately 1,983 persons received services as of December 31, 1986. An additional 149 temporarily disabled persons residing in the projects received services for 1-3 months each. Of the $4,921,803 reimbursed in calendar year 1986, 55 percent was for meals, 9 percent for housekeeping, 9 percent for personal assistance, and 6 percent for transportation and other support. The remainder was for program management. HUD has concluded that grants serving the nonelderly handicapped are adding extra services to an adequate core service package already provided in these projects. The final evaluation report, sent to Congress in April 1986, indicated that the program as initially designed was not cost-effective in enabling the elderly or nonelderly handicapped to live independently and prevent premature or unnecessary institutionalization. The 61 projects generally operated smoothly, and all incorporated their 6-month and 8-month extensions, as appropriate. Technical assistance for operational problems was effective.

First, social scientists must unmask the fallacy of inferred discrimination in which statistical disparities between majority and minority populations are used to establish hiring quotas. Second, we must conduct large-scale surveys of the attitudes of whites and males toward reverse discrimination and of the attitudes of minorities toward their status as unwanted "beneficiaries" of such programs. Third, there must be careful research on the effects of affirmative programs on the efficiency of the U.S. economy, including assessing the overall "burden" on corporations. Having defined and measured the discriminatory treatment that affirmative programs are designed to "treat," it should then be easier to understand what "reverse" discrimination really is, how big a problem it is, and how it differs--structurally and personally--from just plain discrimination. Working with a clear set of concepts, with the same criteria of validity, it will then be much easier to begin to measure all of the costs and benefits of programs aimed at reducing employment discrimination.

Activities are presented under the various HUD offices, including the Office of the Secretary, the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Inspector General, and the Government National Mortgage Association. Programs and activities are also described for the offices dealing with housing, community planning and development, fair housing and equal opportunity, policy development and research, legislation and congressional relations, public and Indian housing, and administration. Significant gains are reported in meeting the housing needs of the poor, promoting home ownership, encouraging fair housing, and fostering the revitalization of cities and towns. The gains were achieved through partnerships formed between HUD and concerned citizens, all governmental levels, the housing industry, and other private-sector leaders. Expanded housing assistance was achieved through vouchers and Section 8 Existing Housing Certificates. By discontinuing Section 8 New Construction Program and other efficiencies, the assisted housing debt took a downward trend. A significant step toward HUD goals was achieved in the enactment of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The intent of universal housing design is to make more housing usable by more people at little or no extra cost. Front doors can be made easier to open by all persons by having a lever handle in place of the traditional knob. Bathrooms can be made usable by disabled persons by using reinforced walls that will accommodate grab bars, making the rooms larger, and placing the faucet controls nearer to the outer rim of the tub. Kitchens can be made more accessible by using side-by-side refrigerator/freezers, front or side-mounted stove controls, and adjustable-height counters. Bedrooms can be made more accessible by installing notched mounting blocks that allow closet rods to be raised or lowered according to user heights. A wider passageway door from the hallway to the bedroom would aid wheelchair users. Other examples of universal housing features are the elimination of steps at entrances, living space on one floor or stair landings large enough to accept lifts, audible and visual alarm systems, and storage space within reach of both short and tall people (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

In 1990 the PD and R intends to provide a balanced program of research, evaluation, and demonstrations designed to meet HUD's policy and program needs. The research agenda for the public housing program will continue to build on the previous research that assessed the modernization needs of the public housing stock. It will be related to the implementation of the modernization block grant program enacted in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987. The research agenda for low-income rental housing will focus on evaluation and improvement of Federal housing programs, and the largest research effort on safety and standards will be the lead paint program initiated in 1988. To meet the need for reliable and timely housing information, PD and R will continue to maintain major data series on national, regional, and local economic and housing market conditions. The research agenda for housing and financial markets will examine new developments in housing finance, and enforcement and compliance activities will occupy the fair-housing research agenda. The research agenda for local government management as well as community and urban development will address the fiscal and social health of cities. Other research will focus on program planning and management and the dissemination of research results to government officials and the general public (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Instead of constructing new public housing, HUD used a voucher system, which proved to be more cost effective than public housing. Other approaches to housing assistance included the rehabilitation of existing rental units, the facilitation of new construction, new housing construction for the elderly and handicapped, mortgage facilitation, and an emphasis on affordable housing. Congressional action, primarily through the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, established five new programs in HUD targeted to the homeless. In the area of community development, a key HUD goal was to help urban and rural communities mobilize their resources and attract investment in infrastructure, housing, and redevelopment. HUD's new management practices not only saved money but improved service to the department's constituents. HUD led the effort which resulted in the passage of the Fair Housing Amendments Act, which made it easier for victims of housing discrimination to sue for redress; it also increased penalties for violations (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This overview briefly describes the purposes, funding levels, participation, and activities supported by each program. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program provides entitlement grants to all central cities of metropolitan areas, all other cities with populations of 50,000 or more, and urban counties. The State CDBG and HUD-Administered Small Cities Program are the key programs for assisting communities with populations under 50,000 that are not otherwise eligible for entitlement funding. The Section 108 Program provides that entitlement communities may borrow up to three times the amount of their formula grants to underwrite large development projects that often require substantial front-end expenses. The Secretary's Discretionary Fund provides for the funding of a variety of special projects. Congress authorized the Neighborhood Development Demonstration in 1983 to determine whether it was feasible to assist neighborhood development activities by combining Federal support with monies raised by organizations in their own neighborhoods. Other programs described are Emergency Shelter Grants, the Urban Development Action Grant, Rental Rehabilitation Grants and Section 312, and Urban Homesteading. 2 figures (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The department's major functions are grouped into six categories. HUD insures mortgages for single family and multifamily dwellings as well as loans for home improvement and the purchase of manufactured (mobile) homes. Ir channels funds from investors into the mortgage industry through the Government National Mortgage Association and makes direct loans for construction or rehabilitation of housing projects for the elderly and handicapped. HUD also provides Federal housing subsidies for low-income and moderate-income families. The department provides grants to States and communities for community development and promotes and enforces fair housing and equal housing opportunity. The booklet describes the department's organization, budget, and operations as they existed early in calendar year 1989. The HUD Secretary has identified seven priorities on which the department will focus: homelessness; economic development; urban homesteading and tenant management; affordability of housing and homeownership; fair housing; the drug war; and the interface of the Federal Housing Administration, the Government National Mortgage Association, and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation interface on the savings and loan crisis.

During April and May 1988, HUD researchers held discussions with local officials, representatives of community organizations, and other local observers knowledgeable about homeless assistance activities. Local officials and service providers in all of the cities have focused on assistance to families and special-need populations and the provision of more transitional and preventive programs. Policy preferences and practices, however, have not always been consistent, which has placed stress on local systems. Although there are similarities among the cities, each city's homeless assistance efforts has a distinctive character, reflecting unique local conditions and histories, yielding variations in the kinds and levels of assistance provided. The McKinney Act, the Federal statute authorizing assistance for the homeless, should be re-examined to determine its sensitivity to these variations in local practices and priorities. This study also indicates the need for better information about critical aspects of homelessness upon which to base both Federal and local policy.

The survey obtained data on the number, occupancy, capacity, operational characteristics, funding, and available services of homeless shelters throughout the Nation. Findings indicate that the number of homeless shelters has almost tripled since 1984 and that the money being spent annually to provide these shelters has increased fivefold over this period. The survey also shows that efforts to shelter the homeless involve a grass roots campaign, strongly fueled by volunteers and joint public-private partnerships. Nine of every 10 shelters are operated by private, nonprofit groups aided by many volunteers. Two thirds of the funds that support them come from local, State, and Federal governments. A substantial amount of Federal financial support comes through the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987. This act is playing an increasingly important role in unifying and strengthening the local systems of homeless shelter care. 26 data exhibits, 12 notes, and the survey questionnaire are provided (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Information on each program covers the purposes, funding levels, participation, and activities supported by each program. Under the CDBG Program, grantees reported that almost 90 percent of funds spent in fiscal year 1988 were used to benefit low-income and moderate-income persons. Under the State CDBG and HUD-administered Small Cities Program, allocations were $845.4 million. In the Section 108 Program, loan guarantees were limited to $144 million, and $143.6 million was committed. In the NDD Program, $1 million was appropriated; and $10 million supported the ESG Program. Under the UDAG, almost 47,000 permanent jobs were planned through 160 grants ($278 million). Rental rehabilitation grants totaled $200 million, which was applied to the rehabilitation of 6,455 properties containing 31,631 housing units.

Since public housing programs are limited in number of units, public housing authorities must ensure that only eligible persons and families occupy those units. TIP aims to ensure this through improving intake, organizing detection efforts, expanding factfinding, and taking local action. Improving intake involves educating applicants about the importance of truthfulness and clarifying the nature of eligibility requirements. Applicants can be informed through bulletins, briefings, and orientation. Intake can also be improved by training staff in professional interviewing techniques. Improved intake also means the development and use of effective forms, which not only confirm data but also encourage honest responses. The organization of detection efforts involves procedures that identify problems, misstatements, and falsehoods as early as possible. Expanded fact finding is necessary to prove an allegation of deception. Taking local action involves the selection of an appropriate option for each case with proven allegations. Options include eviction, lease cancellation, termination of assistance, repayment, and legal prosecution (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Its source of interest is how researcher Le Corbusier fails to maintain these distinctions and hierarchies in his book "The City of Tomorrow and Its Planning." It attempts to show how the distinction between politics and planning collapses. In his attempts to justify the technical approach to urban planning, one would expect Le Corbusier to use and argue for a scientific and comprehensive approach to solving urban problems; indeed, he emphatically calls for that. However, his argument for the "scientific investigation" of cities and its application to urban problems is constantly at odds with his other signifying strategies. The verbal text consists mostly of two sets of arguments for the "scientific investigation" of cities discussed in the article. The visual text has a "rhetoric" that seems to reinforce them. His work employs the latest technology of its day, but looks like the most "postmodern" texts available now. The article is organized in the three sections: (1) text and image in the book; (2) the blank frame and the plan; and (3) questioning the postmodern frame in architecture and planning.

For many years the mortgage interest deduction was a sacrosanct part of the tax code despite the frequently expressed opinion of many economists that it misallocated resources in favor of housing and was regressive besides. The inflation of the late 1970s drove the revenue loss from the deduction relentlessly upward, making it an increasingly visible target for tax reformers, and finally the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (TRA86) imposed the first limitations. TRA86 restricted the deductibility of interest to mortgage interest, including interest on second mortgages taken out for worthy purposes such as home improvements, medical expenses and education. There are three margins that characterize equilibrium in the housing market. The first is the margin at which households are indifferent between renting and owning. This margin implicitly involves the choice between investing in a house versus investing in other assets. The second is the margin at which investors are indifferent between rental housing and other investments as saving vehicles. The third margin is that at which builders of capital are indifferent between building rental or owner-occupied housing as well as all other types of capital.

JO - Urban Affairs Quarterly JF - Urban Affairs Quarterly Y1 - 1989/12// VL - 25 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 265 EP - 297 SN - 00420816 AB - Investigates the concepts and evidence needed to understand the extent of racial segregation in the federal public housing program operating in metropolitan areas throughout the United States. Over one million units of public housing in urban areas constitute an important, but poorly understood, component of overall housing market segregation. Using data from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the article describes the degree, distribution, and segregation of minorities in HUD-assisted family and elderly housing. The authors attempt to explain the level and variation of public housing segregation through examining legislative, programmatic, and regional factors, though differences appear at relatively low levels of statistical significance.

The report's four parts cover the rehabilitation programs financed under Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), the Rental Rehabilitation Program, the Urban Homesteading Program, and the Section 312 Rehabilitation Loan Program. CDBG-financed rehabilitation programs are intended to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment, principally for low-income and moderate-income persons. The Rental Rehabilitation Program is designed to increase the supply of affordable standard housing for low-income tenants; and the Urban Homesteading Program provides homeownership opportunities through the use of existing housing that is rehabilitated by prospective low-income owners. The Section 312 Program is designed to rehabilitate residential properties owned or occupied by low-income and moderate-income persons as well as commercial and mixed-use properties in support of CDBG activities or a local Urban Homesteading program. For each of the aforementioned programs, this report presents information on program purpose, administration, funding history, participation, program activities and characteristics, and benefits to moderate-income and low-income persons.

The CDBG Program is HUD's primary vehicle for providing assistance to localities for community revitalization and improvement. The report on the CDBG Entitlement Program describes the program's purpose, program participants, funding available for the year, program management initiatives, community development activities with block grant funds, and progress in meeting the program's national objectives. The Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program provides CDBG Entitlement communities with a source of financing for community and economic development projects that are too large to be financed from annual grants or other means. The report on this program covers program administration, loan financing, program activities, types of projects, and program objectives. The State and Small Cities Program aids communities that do not qualify for assistance under the CDBG Entitlement Program. The report on this program further covers performance evaluation reports, the meeting of national objectives, participation, distribution methods, types of communities funded, the use of funds, and program management. The Discretionary Fund Program provides a source of nonentitlement funding for specialized community development constituents. The report on this program addresses authorizing legislation, program administration, funding history, the Indian CDBG Program, the Technical Assistance Program, the Insular Areas CDBG Program, the Community Development Work Study Program, the Special Project Program, and minority business enterprise.

The Public Housing Homeownership Demonstration is designed to assist and encourage families living in public housing to purchase their units. The Turnkey III Homeownership Opportunity Program is a lease-purchase approach to help eligible low-income families purchase homes in certain public housing projects developed specifically for homeownership. The Mutual Help Homeownership Opportunity Program is a lease-purchase program for low-income Indian households. The Urban Homesteading Program was initially implemented by using HUD-held properties renovated and transferred to low-income persons who agree to repair, maintain, and occupy the property for a minimum of 5 consecutive years. The use of HUD-owned multifamily properties for low-income and moderate-income families involve negotiated sales to nonprofit entities for long-term maintenance as low-income and moderate-income housing. Under the Nehemiah Housing Opportunity Program, HUD can make grants to nonprofit organizations that can then provide loans to families purchasing homes constructed or rehabilitated in accordance with a HUD-approved program (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Activities of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) during this period also involved support for both HUD and Justice Department efforts in the ongoing review of HUD. Congressional requests, hotline complaints, and citizen complaints also required staff attention. OIG identified eight new material weaknesses in HUD's management controls. These weaknesses involve the Section 8 Project Based Assistance Program, the Consolidated Supply Program, the undue concentration of assisted persons in projects, Title I debt collection, interim float loans in Community Development Block Grant programs, the rapid housing payment system, the Title I debt management and collection system, and Section 8 contract administration. The HUD Secretary has given significant attention to correcting these weaknesses and has implemented effective systems to track remedial actions. The Secretary's Committee on Program Integrity, chaired by the Inspector General, has made recommendations to strengthen and enhance HUD's sanctions process. These recommendations have been endorsed by the Secretary and communicated to senior staff. A toll-free hotline has facilitated citizen reporting of suspected fraud or abuse in HUD programs. Prevention activities continue to be a high priority for the OIG. Appendixes list the OIG audit reports issued and awareness publications (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The course enhances and reinforces the information presented in the Interim Guidelines. It covers the roles and responsibilities of those involved in identifying and abating LBP, shows how to conduct inspections, and describes how to plan and execute the abatement process. Fourteen separate course modules deal with issues like the health risks of LBP, contracting for testing and abatement, choosing an abatement strategy, worker protection and waste disposal, and insurance and liability considerations. An acronym list, glossary, bibliography, and appendixes provide additional technical information. Volume 1 of the course contains course outlines; Volume 2, participant handouts; Volume 3 consists of 310 slides for presentation during training sessions. The course takes approximately 18 hours to complete, and instructors should allow time for a review session with questions from participants. Like the guidelines themselves, the training materials are subject to change. However, the material in the course is now current and in accordance with the recommendations in the Guidelines (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The guide is intended for use by HUD regional resident initiative coordinators (RIC's), regional public housing directors, Indian program RIC's, and field office RIC's. The listed resources pertain to nine primary areas for each State where applicable. The areas are minority business development centers, State minority business programs, technical assistance, financing, market information, employee hiring/training, export/import, small business development centers, and procurement assistance. These areas represent commonly used terminology related to business development and small enterprise creation. The listed resources should provide information on local business development programs available to assist public and Indian housing residents in becoming entrepreneurs. They can also provide information on other special programs and local resources that are currently operating and can be used in conjunction with public and Indian housing resident efforts to improve their economic conditions. The resources can also acquaint RIC local colleagues with RIC official responsibilities regarding public and Indian housing, resident empowerment, and economic development (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD recommends that public housing authorities (PHA's) managing 250 or more units be funded for modernization based on a formula which gives equal weight to backlog (modernization work now needed) and accrual (continual aging and deterioration). HUD proposes that PHA's with less than 250 units be funded under the current Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program. Formula funding for troubled PHA's would be capped initially at their historical levels of funding, and funds saved by capping troubled PHA's would be reallocated by formula to recognized performer PHA's. Those PHA's which are not able to address emergency modernization needs with available funds would be funded through loans from the Public and Indian Housing Loan Fund. Repair needs caused by natural disasters would be funded from a special $50 million HUD fund maintained for this purpose. Other recommendations pertain to the encouragement of funding from State and local governments and the use of funds diverted from units deemed unrepairable at a reasonable cost (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Based on a field survey and on accounts from public housing and elderly interest groups and mental health advocates, the report discusses: (1) management responses that public housing authorities (PHAs) may take to address the problem, (2) special HUD activities related to mentally disabled persons, and (3) additional PHA resources that permit integration of the elderly and the young disabled in public housing under current HUD regulations and guidelines. HUD believes it is inappropriate to revise the definition of 'elderly' to exclude the disabled, who would then be eligible only for family or general occupancy projects for two reasons: housing alternatives for disabled persons would be significantly limited and, because the regional survey indicated that an important reason for the increase in the number of younger persons being admitted to projects for the elderly has been vacancies in these projects. Denying occupancy of younger disabled persons in these vacancies would waste an important housing resource. The report suggests that in areas where mentally disabled persons have become concentrated in housing projects for the elderly, appropriate professionals should cooperate to ensure that the full range of subsidized housing opportunities is being made available. The survey questionnaire is included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The legislation authorizing SPC would amend the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. SPC would target three kinds of housing assistance to homeless persons: a newly created 5-year flexible rental assistance program, assistance under the current Section 8 Single Room Occupancy Moderate Rehabilitation program, and a 5-year program for assistance in leased or owned homes under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959. To receive this housing assistance, States and localities must demonstrate that they can provide or secure supportive services appropriate to the needs of the target population. Each dollar offered for supportive services will be matched with a HUD dollar for housing assistance. This report describes the SPC application process and reviews previous experience with programs similar to SPC. Research findings supporting the need for SPC are outlined. Appendixes highlight HUD actions to address homelessness as well as Federal funding of services for the homeless.

The report also describes fair housing activities of other Federal, State, and local agencies; the housing industry; and private groups. HUD's 3-year strategy for fully implementing the law is presented as well. The report indicates that HUD and State and local agencies have successfully conciliated more than 2,000 complaints. Through conciliation and consent decrees, HUD, State and local agencies, and the Department of Justice have obtained more than $2 million in relief for complainants. In October 1990 HUD will embark on its third-year strategy to fine tune the overall Fair Housing Act enforcement system, implement the last required guidance memoranda and training requirements, and ensure that State and local agencies are certified as substantially equivalent. The report concludes that it is too early to determine the extent to which housing discrimination will be reduced by the Fair Housing Act and enforcement efforts; however, Federal agencies have responded promptly to the challenge of the 1988 amendments, and achievements in the first 9 months suggest a promising future for efforts to eliminate discrimination in housing. The appendixes contain data on complaints under the Fair Housing Act and allocations to States under the Fair Housing Assistance Program (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

These changes reflect the delicate balance struck between Reagan's "decentralized federalism" as it applied to low-income housing and the much more proactive, centralized positions often advocated by the Congress. Although Congress did not win the budget battle, it did add new resources to low-income housing in less direct ways, including the low-income housing programs contained in the 1989 Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), which add both money and institutions to the delivery of housing services for the poor. This article evaluates these new FIRREA programs in expanding the supply of housing for the poor. Their success will largely depend on the ability of the low-income housing delivery system to integrate these new institutions and join with them in an active partnership to make efficient use of these new housing resources.

The Commission concludes that many American families, particularly young families, cannot afford to rent or buy homes close to their places of work. The Commission further concludes that this circumstance is largely due to the escalation of housing costs caused by an increasingly expensive and time-consuming permit-approval process, by exclusionary zoning, and by well-intentioned laws aimed at the protection of the environment and other features of modern life. This costly regulatory network is fueled by homeowners who fear that affordable housing will bring lower land values, more congested streets, and an increased need for costly new infrastructure. This has come to be known as the NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard) syndrome. The Commission's 31 recommendations focus on Federal, State, and local government action to relieve regulatory barriers to affordable housing as well as private action. The Commission recommends the removal or reform of Federal rules and regulations that adversely affect housing affordability, State initiatives in removing regulatory barriers to affordable housing, and educational and group actions at the local level to expose the negative consequences of certain government regulations. A strategy for implementing the recommendations is provided (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Under this program, public housing authorities will provide rental assistance, service coordination, and an array of services that address the special needs of the frail elderly. Services may include personal care, case management, transportation, meals, counseling, supervision, and other services essential for achieving and maintaining independent living. Medical services are not included. Public housing authorities will compete for a share of the 1,300 certificates and vouchers and $10 million in supportive services funds that HUD is providing for this demonstration. The housing authority must match this funding with 50 percent of the cost of the services, and the elderly participants will pay 10 percent of the costs up to a maximum of 20 percent of their adjusted incomes. HUD previous related experience has involved the Congregate Housing Services Program, which funds supportive services in congregate housing for the elderly or for the nonelderly handicapped. Evaluation indicates that such services are effective. The report concludes with brief descriptions of three principal Federal funding sources from which a housing authority might obtain matching funds to support its 50-percent share of the costs of services to be delivered under the Elderly Independence program (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This new course has six priorities: the expansion of homeownership and affordable housing opportunities, the creation of jobs and economic development through enterprise zones, the empowerment of the poor through resident management and homesteading, the enforcement of fair housing for all, the creation of drug-free public housing, and a plan to end homelessness. Efforts to expand homeownership and affordable housing opportunities include penalty-free use of Individual Retirement Accounts for downpayments for first-time home buyers and programs to increase opportunities for more Americans to find affordable homes. Enterprise zones constitute the centerpiece of the Bush administration's efforts to create jobs and economic development in urban areas. Under this concept, legislation will provide tax and regulatory incentives for economic development and job creation in depressed urban and rural areas. Four of HUD's priorities are incorporated in a comprehensive program called HOPE (Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere). The HOPE initiative builds upon and expands some existing HUD programs that now provide homeownership opportunities for low-income and moderate-income households. The goal of HOPE is to empower low-income families with a stake in their community by providing funding and other assistance for resident ownership of public housing; federally held vacant and foreclosed properties; and financially distressed properties owned by Federal, State, or local governments.

McKinney Homeless Assistance Amendments Act of 1988 which requires that the HUD Secretary report to the Congress on a recommended policy for addressing radon contamination in specified housing. The housing specified in the Act is virtually all rental housing predominantly for low-income and moderate-income households. Almost all of it is multifamily housing: row houses, walk-up apartment buildings, or high-rise buildings. The report's recommendations are based on the finding that current knowledge on how to test for and mitigate radon in multifamily housing is inadequate as a basis for public policy. Most of the testing and mitigation of radon in residences has been in single-family, detached, owner-occupied housing. There is inadequate information on the extent to which excessive concentrations of radon occur above the first floor of multistory buildings and on the variation in radon concentrations in attached houses in the same row. There is inadequate information on the effectiveness of mitigation techniques for high-rise buildings. HUD's recommended policy is in the four topic areas specified in the Act: research, education, testing, and mitigation. Research activities will focus on radon distribution within multistory housing, mitigation, cooperation by landlords and tenants, the radon potential of development sites, and risk assessment.

McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. The SPC program provides rental assistance to homeless persons with disabilities, including individuals who are seriously mentally ill; who have chronic problems with alcohol, other drugs, or both; or who have AIDS or AIDS-related diseases. In some cases, rental assistance will also be available to the families of such persons. Rental assistance will be provided in concert with supportive services funded from other Federal, State, and local sources. SPC is an important amendment to the McKinney Act, because the Act's current programs do not adequately link long-term housing with programs that provide mental health or alcohol and drug abuse treatment services. The programs will target three kinds of housing assistance to homeless persons: a 5-year flexible rental assistance program, assistance under the current Section 8 Single Room Occupancy Moderate Rehabilitation Program, and a 5-year program for assistance in leased or owned homes under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959. To receive this assistance, States and localities must demonstrate that they can provide or secure supportive services appropriate to the needs of the population served. Each dollar offered for supportive services will be matched with a HUD dollar for housing assistance. The booklet describes the SPC program operations and its previous experience related to SPC's aims. Appendixes highlight HUD's actions designed to ending homelessness and lists 1991 funding amounts for each Federal homeless program (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The major changes in HUD's programs and operations in 1989 were in the areas of reforms to eliminate and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse and the reinvigoration of HUD's mission to help needy persons and families. The activities of all HUD offices focused on six priorities: the expansion of homeownership and affordable housing opportunities, the creation of jobs and economic development through enterprise zones, empowerment of the poor through resident management and homesteading, the enforcement of fair housing for all, drug-free public housing, and an end to homelessness. The most important programmatic development of 1989 was the inauguration of HOPE (Homeownership and Opportunity for People Everywhere). This involves a comprehensive strategy to replace poverty and the dependence of the poor on government aid with a ladder of opportunity that leads to self-sufficiency. By the end of 1989, major HUD program reforms had been approved by Congress. The appendixes contain a Comprehensive Improvement Assistance Program; data on HUD programs related to the housing needs of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians; and a report on subsidized tenants (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

McKinney Homeless Assistance Act, reviews the history of rent control in the United States and then evaluates its effects including any pertinent to homelessness and effectiveness. Proposals for lifting rent controls without major disruptions are explored, and areas for further research are identified. The assessment concludes that housing quality is likely to deteriorate under rent control. Quality will probably deteriorate most for units occupied by families whose real income declines most during inflationary periods. The benefits of rent control are poorly targeted. Significant numbers of affluent renters live in rent-controlled apartments and enjoy substantial benefits, but may lower income renters receive little or no benefit. Some landlords of rent-controlled properties have no low income but nonetheless bear the burden of rent control transfers. Overall, current rent control policies are highly inefficient, inequitable, and ineffective mechanisms for helping lower income tenants. The empirical studies dine to date support most of the aforementioned conclusions, but virtually all of these studies are limited in one or more respects and should only be considered indicative. More research that uses improved methods and better data is needed to develop conclusive empirical findings (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

At the State level, all 50 Governors have appointed State contacts on the homeless. Many have established interagency councils to increase statewide planning and coordination of homeless assistance, and some have invested substantial State resources to address the problem. Religious organizations, private nonprofit organizations, and individual volunteers also have made significant contributions. These efforts recognize that an effective national strategy will require a partnership among all levels of government and the private sector. To assist States in implementing strategies to assist homeless people, ICH contracted with the National Governors' Association (NGA) to examine current State homeless initiatives and to identify the major issues involved in developing and managing a comprehensive homeless policy. An advisory committee of State officials was established to provide information and guidance for the project. With input from the advisory committee, this manual was developed to provide Governors and State officials with practical information on developing and managing a comprehensive homeless strategy (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Fannie Mae issued MBSs with a value of $113 billion and added mortgages worth $37 billion to its own portfolio. By the end of 1991, its total portfolio holdings and MBSs accounted for over 16 percent of all outstanding single-family and 7 percent of multifamily mortgage debt in the United States. In a stringent test of its financial stability, the report estimates that Fannie Mae would exhaust its equity in the seventh year of a 10-year depression comparable to that of the 1930s. In a separate analysis, HUD concludes that Fannie Mae would continue to increase its equity if the Nation were to experience a return to the high interest rates of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The report also discusses Fannie Mae's success in meeting goals established by Congress for the purchase of conventional mortgage loans securing housing for low- and moderate-income families and housing located in central cities, as well as its compliance with fair housing statutes and regulations. Finally, the report outlines HUD's regulatory oversight of Fannie Mae during 1991 (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD constructed a formula based on the Census Bureau's 1990 Street and Shelter (S-Night) count of homeless persons and compared the allocation of funds under this formula with the current distribution of HUD homeless assistance. A second formula based on several proxies for homelessness was constructed and tested, but direct application of the S-Night count was determined to be preferable to using the proxies tested against it. The study concludes that a formula-based distribution of the programs proposed for consolidation is feasible, although not necessarily an improvement over the current system. Instead, HUD recommended that several of the homeless assistance programs it administers be consolidated into a single competitively awarded grant program. The Housing and Community Development act of 1992 took a step in this direction by consolidating SAFAH and the Transitional and Permanent Housing programs into one competitive program (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Currently only 16 of the 183 Indian Housing Authorities use this form of rental assistance. The report finds that the principal programs utilized by American Indians/Alaska Natives are Low-Income Public Housing, Mutual Help Housing, and Housing Improvement Program. HUD Office of Indian Programs (OIP) attributes limited participation by IHAs to a scarce supply of privately owned rental units, administrative/information difficulties, and sociocultural constraints. At least 16 IHAs have overcome these administrative and sociocultural barriers to make use of Section 8 vouchers. The report recommends that other IHAs be made aware of these programs as part of a larger campaign of education and outreach. The appendices include profiles of three IHAs using vouchers, American Indian/Alaskan Natives housing characteristics, and a summary of OIP's findings (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HOPE 1 will provide homeownership assistance to low-income families (those whose incomes are below 80 percent of local area median income), families or individuals who reside in public or Indian housing when HUD approves a HOPE 1 implementation grant, or families or individuals who are assisted under a HUD or Department of Agriculture housing program. This manual describes the types of assistance that are available under HOPE 1 and how to apply for such assistance. Eligible applicants compete for three forms of grants from HUD: mini-planning grants, full planning grants, and implementation grants. Mini-planning grants generally assist in the establishment of or an increase in the capacity of a grantee to apply for and implement a homeownership program. When successfully administered, mini-planning grants may be succeeded by full planning grants, which can be used for activities eligible under mini-planning grants as well as additional planning activities. Implementation grants describe activities that range from the preparation of plans through operating assistance and economic development to help purchasers afford the cost of homeownership. Some eligible activities, application procedures, criteria for awards, and case studies of programs funded under HOPE 1 are included (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HOPE 3 will provide homeownership assistance to low-income families (those whose incomes are below 80 percent of local area median income. HOPE 3 will help low-income families become homeowners by providing planning and implementation grants to organizations that will help families purchase single-family homes (four units or fewer) owned by HUD, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Resolution Trust Corporation, State or local governments, and a public or Indian housing authority (scattered site only). The purchaser must be a first-time homebuyer, defined as an individual and spouse (if any) who have not owned a home during the previous three years. Exceptions to the three-year period are made for displaced homemakers and single parents. Eligible applicants compete for two forms of grants from HUD: planning grants and implementation grants. A planning grant will help the applicant establish or increase its capacity to apply for an implementation grant and operate a HOPE 3 homeownership program. Implementation grant activities are comprehensive, ranging from acquisition and rehabilitation of the property through economic development to help purchasers afford the cost of homeownership.

The 1992 HUD appropriation bill set aside $25 million for housing agencies to use in conducting such assessments. Lead-Based Paint Risk Assessment Protocol, a set of guidelines published by HUD, establishes a management process for housing agencies to follow in identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards. The guidelines contains a variety of resource materials to help housing agencies conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. Charts allow housing agencies to properly identify and inventory ea ch painted surface. Data collection forms include a series of questions designed to indicate the nature and scope of lead-based paint hazards. Risk assessment forms list maintenance, management, and staffing questions to help housing agencies evaluate their effectiveness in addressing the lead-based paint issue. Sampling and inspection guidelines help risk assessors select appropriate site areas to inspect. They also describe techniques of soil, dust, and paint-chip swiping and sampling in detailed st eps and explain how to interpret and evaluate the results (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The report uses American Housing Survey data to analyze the geographic distribution of worst case needs across and within 44 large metropolitan areas (MAs), evaluate the effectiveness and cost of current Federal housing programs in meeting worst case needs, and outline critical elements of a strategy to reduce the number of households with such needs despite limited housing assistance dollars. The study finds that worst case needs are more common in large metropolitan areas than elsewhere in the United States. Priority problems are heavily concentrated among very low-income renters, whereas they are infrequent among homeowners and higher income groups. Severe rent burden was by far the dominant problem facing renters with worst case needs. The incidence of worst case needs and of housing assistance varied greatly among and within regions. Explicit comparisons of available adequate units to the numbers of worst case households living in inadequate or crowded housing show that, in most of these metropolitan markets, all worst case needs could be solved through tenant-based assistance and light rehabilitation. Based on this evidence, the report argues for an increased emphasis on tenant-based rental assistance as the least cost, most effective, and best targeted option (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The legislation would address the problem of excessive, exclusionary, and unnecessary regulations that increase housing costs and restrict the supply of affordable housing. Its plans establish a new program of grants to States for developing and implementing strategies to remove regulatory roadblocks. The legislation would amend the National Affordable Housing Act (NAHA) to require the barrier-removal component of the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) to be subject to HUD review. NAHA would be further amended to link the Federal low-income housing tax credit and mortgage revenue bond programs to the State CHAS. Its goal is to encourage State and local governments to identify and take legislative action to reform regulatory barriers to affordable housing (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

We make three major conclusions: (1) the stock market displays tendencies consistent with a random walk, (2) portfolios of mortgage and equity REIT returns display tendencies consistent with a random walk and, (3) conditional upon the methods used, segmentation does not exist between different real estate markets and between the real estate and stock markets.

An actuarial study conducted by an independent accounting firm concluded that the insurance fund's net worth had steadily declined during the 1980s, and was less than the minimum needed to protect the taxpayer. Policy discussion necessarily addressed the trade-off between the financial soundness of the fund and its public purpose of promoting homeownership for middle- and moderate-income families. The legislation that was enacted-the most substantive change in the program in many years-included raising the net worth of the fund by increasing the mortgage insurance premium, adopting a sliding scale for premiums related to the original LTV of the mortgage, and reducing claims from foreclosures by requiring homebuyers to put up more cash at the time of closing (in the form of closing costs, which can be financed in FHA mortgages, rather than a higher down payment).

This paper shows that approximately efficient matching rates for subnational public assistance, which adjust the tax price of welfare in each state for the potential externalities, are feasible. Part of the tax price of welfare to the average taxpayer consists of the ratio of recipients of assistance to taxpayers. Approximately efficient matching rates would be inverse to this ratio. Formulae that are, respectively, efficient, approximately efficient, and approximately efficient and potentially politically feasible are derived.

Due to one-time funding from the proposed stimulus package, HUD's 1994 budget request was reduced from the 1993 level; however, discretionary funding requests showed an increase. The report estimates that HUD initiatives which would have been part of the Clinton's stimulus package may create about 71,000 new jobs. Much of the increase in the requested budget is allocated for 'investment expenditures'; HUD also recommends departmental fee increases, program reforms, and other cost-cutting proposals to help reduce the deficit. The report includes departmental summary of HUD, and information on Jointly Administered Accounts, as well as the offices of Housing, Public and Indian Housing, the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), and the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA). The 1994 budget estimates also include three new program accounts: Opportunities for Youth (Youthbuild), Severely Distressed Public Housing, and Community Partnerships Against Crime (COMPAC).

Initiative, led by HUD and Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly, proposes a continuum of care system with three basic components: outreach/assessment, transitional housing combined with rehabilitative service, and placement into permanent housing. Supportive services may be provided, depending on specific needs. The system calls for a social contract in which the government is responsible for assistance, but the homeless themselves have an obligation to make the most of that assistance. An intensive outreach program will be undertaken for those service-resistant individuals currently living in public spaces. The mayor will work with the District council to establish a new, entrepreneurial and customer-service driven public/private entity for its homeless effort. That entity will consolidate and streamline housing development and services for the homeless and will contract with not-for-profit and other organizations to provide services. The plan calls for a system of outreach and education which will encourage community endorsement and support of the homeless initiative. Ultimately, society must look to economic development, adequate wages, welfare reform, and ending of segregation to improve the overall climate which allowed homelessness to take root (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

When compared with the regular State-administered RRP, the Demonstration was successful in each of three evaluation areas--program effectiveness, cost, and participation by owners of rental properties. The study revealed few significant differences between the State RRP and the Demonstration among the principal performance criteria. Most of the differences seemed to be the consequence of expected differences in rental housing stock characteristics between larger and smaller communities (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Volume 1: Resource Guide Y1 - 1994/// M3 - Reference Work AB - This volume represents the first step in an effort to build a central repository of promising anti-violence programs. Part of a cooperative venture in the federal government, this resource guide draws on information stored in more than 30 Federal clearinghouses and resource centers. Included here are programs developed by government agencies, private foundations, religious and fraternal associations, and others. This volume presents about 600 specific programs now operating throughout the United States. The scope of these efforts is wide--ranging from parent education and preschool programs to interventions for high-risk adolescents and alternative sanctions for youthful offenders. Highlighted throughout the document are key details about each program: project type, start-up date, program description, target population and setting, information about evaluation, budgets, and contact persons who can answer specific questions. The programs are presented in five sections: (1) Community Violence; (2) Youth Violence; (3) Family Violence; (4) Substance Abuse; and (5) Victims. Most of the programs address prevention, but many also target enforcement, and treatment and rehabilitation. The programs are indexed by title, subject, location, and funding sources.

The paper demonstrates how borrower longevity, interest rates and property value changes all affect pricing, and why the HECM model focuses on property value as the primary source of uncertainty. It goes on to explain why a random walk specification was chosen to forecast property values, and how the principal limit factors, which determine cash payments to borrowers in the HECM program, are calculated.

Using the American Housing Survey and the 1990 Census, this third annual report estimates that the number of very low-income renters experiencing such needs swelled by 385,000 households, reaching about 5.3 million by 1991. The predominant problem facing these households continues to be the cost, rather than the quality of their housing. Increases in worst case needs from 1989 to 1991 disproportionately affected families with children and were greatest for families with three or more children. The elderly were least likely of all very low-income renters to have worst case needs and most likely to receive housing assistance. Despite receiving high priority for federal housing assistance, 47% of very low-income non-elderly, disabled renters faced worst case needs. Among ethnic groups, needs were highest and showed greatest increase among very low-income Hispanic renters, rising from 39% to 44% between 1989 and 1991. More than half of all renters with greatest needs were concentrated in central cities. The worst case needs were most common in the West and Northwest (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Reinventing HUD has three components: consolidating 60 major operational programs into three performance- based funds by 1998, shifting federal subsidies of public housing to tenant-based rental assistance, and converting the Federal Housing Administration into an entrepreneurial government-owned corporation. Key priorities are strengthening competitive cities, revitalizing neighborhoods, expanding homeownership, expanding affordable rental opportunity, reducing homelessness, transforming public housing, and managing for performance and results. Proposed changes share these principles: low- and moderate- income families should have greater power to make decisions about their lives; decision makers at the neighborhood, local, and state levels should have maximum flexibility; the character of HUD must change if reinvention is to succeed; the Federal government has a necessary role to play in upholding Americans' constitutional and legal rights; and persistent concentration and isolation of poor people and minorities in central cities is one of the greatest challenges to America's urban future. The new HUD will emphasize performance measurement and financial accountability in order to make a positive difference in people's lives (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Once that determination is made, the system must address those needs.

In order to effectively attack homelessness the authors did not need to create an 'emergency shelter system' but remedy the existing human service and housing systems (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The Administration's policy is founded on four operating principles: First, it links families to work by bringing together tax, welfare, education, job training, transportation, and housing initiatives that help families make the transition to self-sufficiency and independence. Second, it leverages private investment by working with the market and private businesses to build upon the natural assets and competitive advantages of urban communities. Third, it is locally driven, emphasizing solutions that are locally crafted and implemented by entrepreneurial public entities, private actors, and the growing network of community-based organizations. Finally, it affirms traditional values such as hard work, family, and responsibility with the recognition that the problems of inner-city neighborhoods are not subject to government solutions alone. The National Urban Policy Report offers a blueprint for implementing these principles through economic policies that promote sustainable growth, as well as through strategic investments that help poor people and distressed communities share in the fruits of an expanding national economy (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The objectives of the HECM Demonstration are outlined: (1) to permit the conversion of home equity into liquid assets to meet the special needs of elderly homeowners, (2) to promote participation in the reverse mortgage market by the private lending community, (3) to gauge the demand for reverse mortgage products and to determine the types of home equity conversion mortgages that best serve the needs of elderly homeowners. The report notes that since the initial HECM evaluation in 1992, the volume of HECM loans originated has risen substantially. This marked increase in activity reflects the growing familiarity and acceptance of HECM products among borrowers and lenders, the resolution of key legal impediments, and the growing number of qualified lenders and counselors. An important issue that is addressed for the first time in this evaluation is the adequacy of the mortgage insurance premium under the HECM Demonstration. An independent actuarial analysis found no reason for immediate concern regarding HUD's risk exposure under the HECM Demonstration. Specifically, an evaluation of over 7,000 loans showed that the present value of mortgage premiums collected exceeded the present value of ultimate insurance claim losses by $6.0 million. The report notes that the successful development of a conventional reverse mortgage market hinges on long-term involvement by capital sources such as commercial banks and insurance companies. Significant progress toward cultivating such a market already has been made in the legal arena, with the removal of many legal impediments to reverse mortgages (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Except in Public and Indian housing, these guidelines emphasize controlling residential lead hazards related to paint, dust, and soil, as opposed to complete abatement. These guidelines replace Lead-Based Paint: Interim Guidelines for Hazard Identification and Abatement in Public and Indian Housing (1990), but do not override Lead-Based Paint Risk Assessment Protocol (1992). The new guidelines redefine 'lead-based paint hazards' and include information on risk assessment, new procedures for lead-based paint inspection, methods to correct lead-based paint hazards, new interim control procedures to manage lead-based paint in-place, worksite preparation techniques, procedures for investigating cases of childhood lead poisoning, safe maintenance for historic preservation, and several resources for others needing additional information (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This survey of the homeownership literature is framed in the context of the principles of the National Homeownership Strategy: (1) homeownership is an investment that generates financial security, (2) homeownership promotes a sense of responsibility and control over one's environment, (3) homeownership plays a role in stabilizing neighborhoods and strengthening communities, and (4) homeownership helps create job opportunities and promote economic growth. The brief finds that although empirical research on some benefits attributed to homeownership is inconclusive, homeownership is a key source of individual wealth and it does seem to be associated with feelings of contentment and participation in community activities (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Bureaucracy threatens the way HUD assists cities, develops housing opportunities for citizens, and helps protect the poor and vulnerable populations. The object of reinventing HUD is to lower costs and improve the agencies' performance. The new blueprint consists of three parts: consolidating HUD programs into three performance funds; transforming public housing; and creating a Federal Housing Corporation. Each of these initiatives provides local governments more flexibility in making program and housing decisions; works to make public housing more efficient; and develops a more technologically-efficient Federal Hous ing Administration (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

These new funds will give State and local authorities maximum flexibility to tailor spending to local circumstances, needs, and priorities. All three of the proposed funds the Housing Certificate Fund (HCF), the Affordable Housing Fund (AHF), and the Community Opportunity Fund (COF) will be allocated by formulas that reflect State and local needs. States and localities that receive HUD funding must meet statutory performance requirements, and performance measures will be developed (in most cases by States and localities) to reflect excellence in program administration and progress toward local and national goals. States and localities will be rewarded for producing tangible benefits that address the needs of low-income families and communities. Performance measures under the HCF will be developed to gauge the number of assistance recipients making progress toward economic self sufficiency, the extent to which recipients can move to low-poverty communities, and the extent to which the program creates homeownership opportunities for low income families. Under AHF, communities can choose from a wide range of activities, including building or rehabilitating affordable housing projects, assisting first-time homebuyers, providing supportive services, and offering tenant- based rental assistance. The national objectives of the COF include performance measures on job creation, neighborhood revitalization, infrastructure improvements, and social service delivery (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

McKinney Homeless Programs Administered by HUD. Report to Congress JF - Review of Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Programs Administered by HUD. Report to Congress Y1 - 1995/01// M3 - Report AB - This report synthesizes the findings of six evaluations of homeless programs administered by HUD. The Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-77) was the nation's first attempt at a comprehensive response to homelessness among individuals and families with children. The Act originally created 20 programs for the homeless that were administered by 9 Federal agencies. Appropriations, which in FY89 were $.5 billion, have increased each year. Appropriations totaled $1.35 billion in FY94. HUD is responsible for directing six major programs that together expend nearly 70 percent of all appropriations. Five years after passage of the McKinney Act, Congress requested that the Secretary of HUD report in 1994 on the results of the McKinney programs administered by HUD. This report responds to that request by summarizing the findings contained in evaluations of the following six programs administered by HUD: Emergency Shelter grants Program (ESG), Supportive Housing Demonstration Program (SHDP), Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Assistance for Single-Room Occupancy Dwellings (SROs), Shelter Plus Care (S+C), Supplemental Assistance to Facilities to Assist the Homeless (SAFAH), Single Family Property Disposition Initiative (SFPDI). The principal conclusion of the report is that the time is right to consolidate and simplify the McKinney programs (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Two decades of experience with the Section 8 certificate and voucher programs have proven that tenant-based assistance is an effective mechanism for addressing the urgent needs of low- income households. Where housing shortages do exist, they can best be addressed through local strategies supported by the new Affordable Housing Fund. But decent quality rental housing is widely available; most people with acute housing needs pay too large a portion of their income for rent. Certificates and vouchers give families the purchasing power they need to obtain housing in the private market, and most households that receive certificates or vouchers are successful in finding units. Moreover, in most housing markets, there is substantial supply of housing at rents below the Fair Market Rents (FMRs), which determine the rents that participants can afford to pay under the Section 8 program. As a result, certificate and voucher recipients enjoy much greater choice about where to live than residents of public housing and are less likely to be concentrated in high-poverty neighborhoods. Participation rates can nonetheless be increased and location choices expanded through landlord outreach and housing search assistance that expands opportunities for choice and mobility (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

It presents 100 proposed action items for activating National, State, and local organizations in the private and public sectors to work collaboratively toward expanding homeownership opportunities. The action items are based on three overriding themes of the strategy. The first theme involves cutting the costs of homeownership by addressing financing, production, and transaction costs and fees. This approach is directed toward making financing more accessible, streamlining the production and homebuying processes, and shaping regulatory reforms with the end goal of making homeownership more affordable. The second theme deals with opening markets for homeownership by breaking down racial and ethnic market barriers and increasing access to underserved households. The final theme of the strategy relates to raising awareness about affordable homeownership opportunities through education and counseling, information technology, communications media and community involvement. Through the actions outlined in the report, the members of the partnership propose to generate up to eight million additional homeowners by the end of the year 2000, translating into a national homeownership rate of up to 67.5 percent (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) leads the Federal Government's efforts to end housing discrimination. The federal Fair Housing Act as amended in 1988 established as a partnership between HUD and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, focuses on 'pattern and practice' cases, while HUD is responsible for helping families and individuals who believe their fair housing rights have been violated. In addition, 31 States and 41 localities have passed fair housing laws that are 'substantially equivalent' to federal law. HUD supports a nationwide fair housing network by funding State and local agencies and private fair housing groups by issuing guidelines for complaint intake and investigations, and by giving training and technical assistance on fair housing enforcement. FHEO monitors the operation of HUD's programs to ensure compliance with civil rights statutes and brings the fair housing perspective to policy making and decision making. Without FHEO, federal housing programs are more likely to be the subject of litigation, placing policy and resource allocation decisions in the hands of the courts (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Estimates of migration effects on tax price are found to be sensitive to specification.

Leven and Michael E. Sykuta, published in the 1994 issue of the periodical "Urban Affairs Quarterly." Leven and Sykuta's article concerns itself with the role of racial attitudes in mortgage lending. The authors of this article put forth criticisms of the arguments presented by Leven and Sykuta. They dispute the methods used both to define and subsequently examine the concept of racial discrimination, in its relationship to home mortgage lending.

It gives broad authority to screen applicants and evict violators. HUD will monitor performance and provide incentives for housing authorities to implement One Strike policies. The guiding principles are that individuals have the right to live free of fear and in peace, that public housing should be awarded to responsible individuals, that applicants and residents must be protected from discrimination and violations of privacy, and that active community and governmental involvement is needed to implement successful One Strike policies. The policy seeks prevention through tougher screening at admission, as well as enforcement by eviction policies that are described in leases, explained to tenants, protect due process rights, have the support of local police and judges, and ensure sufficient evidence before eviction. Residents must also be protected from criminal activity of nonresidents. Examples of success in fighting public housing crime are provided (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The colloquy focuses on a 1993 study in which Federal Reserve Board researchers hypothesized that if mortgage lenders were discriminating against qualified African Americans, the mortgage default rate of this group would be lower than that of whites. The Board study, however, failed to find such evidence of discrimination, determining instead that default rates were actually slightly higher for African Americans. The colloquy examines whether default rates are an appropriate measure of discrimination and speculates on the possible influence on default rates of unobservable credit variables that differentially effect minorities. During the course of the colloquy, it is pointed out that the Federal Reserve Board study itself noted that the default rate effect it found was to small too justify major changes to Federal antidiscrimina tion policies (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This issue reviews current arguments on the efficacy of regionalism and examines whether regional development policies that address inner-city problems are in the economic interest of suburban communities. For example, Todd Swanstrom examines one of the underlying assumptions of regionalism: that the economic fates of cities, their suburbs, and their regions are inexorably linked. Swanstrom concludes that recent arguments supporting regional economic cooperation have overemphasized economic factors and finds social factors, including a 'regional vision,' more compelling. Margaret Weir's article points out that big cities have lost power in State politics, which, she says, are increasingly driven by a suburban-based political agenda. This makes it difficult to build policy coalitions that address urban problems. AnnaLee Saxenian compares two of America's leading technology regions: California's Silicon Valley and Massachusetts' Route 128 corridor. An article written by Bennett Harrison, Maryellen R. Kelley, and Jon Gant finds that businesses and industries clustered in urban areas are more likely to adopt innovative production technologies. The issue also explores the issue of community empowerment, assessing community crime prevention activities, approaches to community organizing, and other community-based initiatives (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This issue of Cityscape explores these controversies, reporting on four symposia on urban development and environmental protection sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1994 and 1995. While Lindell Marsh, Douglas Porter and David Salvesen acknowledge the legitimacy of environmental regulations that affect the location and cost of development, they note that these effects are exacerbated by gaps between planning and permitting processes at different levels of government. Frank Braconi and Brock Evans debate the extent to which environmental regulati ons impact on housing affordability. Nick Farr and Cushing Dolbeare address one of the most important issues at the intersection of housing and environmental policy--lead-based paint. They focus on the recommendations of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction and Financing Task Force, which suggest that some liability relief should be granted for owners of hazard-affected properties. Elizabeth Collaton and Charles Bartsch examine issues surrounding the reuse of contaminated urban industrial sites known as 'brownfields.' They review the role of the Superfund in the cleanup and reuse of contaminated industrial sites, concluding that HUD can play a critical role in industrial site reuse. Finally, David Engel, Edwin Stromberg and Margery Austin Turner explo re the policy implications of this constructive dialog. They point to HUD's responsibility to ensure that publicly assisted housing meets high standards of environmental protection, as well as to advocate for Federal, State and local policies that protect the poor and minorities from hazardous land uses in central cities (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

All of the recognized programs rely on public-private partnerships, and emphasize integrated service delivery to address complex needs and problems.

Implemented at five demonstration sites Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York MTO provides tenant-based rental assistance and supportive counseling services to help families use Section 8 assistance to move out of high-poverty inner-city areas and into low-poverty neighborhoods. Experimental families receive Section 8 rental assistance usable only in low- poverty areas and are provided with counseling assistance, while the comparison group receives regular Section 8 assistance with no geographical restrictions or additional counseling. Two years into the program, preliminary data show that substantial progress has been made at all of the demonstration sites. By the end of February 1996, almost half (47.9 percent) of the MTO experimental families and more than a fourth (28.9 percent) of the comparison group families had located and leased housing. All the demonstration sites are expected to reach their lease-up targets by the end of 1996. The report found that the strongest motivating factor for participating in the MTO demonstration appears to be fear of crime, with more than 85 percent of MTO applicants listing crime as their primary (54.8 percent) or secondary (30.8 percent) reason for wanting to move (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

A good homeownership plan, which includes team building and articulated economic goals, will produce money that can be used to promote other homeownership opportunities and to provide opportunities for low-income families. The HUD aspirations that initiated development of this manual include 25,000 new public housing homeowners by the year 2000. In support of these goals, the manual provides reprints from the Federal Register, a reprint of Moving Up to the American Dream: From Public Housing to Private Homeownership, worksheets, overhead masters, charts, tables, and explanatory text.

These so-called 'homeownership zones' have been developed with funding from the Community Development Block Grant program, HOME Investment Partnership program, and Federal Housing Administration single- family mortgage insurance. In addition, cities have relied on the Nehemiah Homeownership Opportunity Grants, HOPE 3, and Urban Development Action Grants. According to the report, large-scale homeownership is a well-tested formula for urban revitalization. The report emphasizes the importance of recycling urban land, creating public-private partnerships, and incorporating concepts of 'New Urbanism, 'the goal of which is to promote diverse and livable communities with a variety of housing types, land uses, and building densities. The Clinton Administration has proposed spending $135 million in 1997 on competitive grants to create homeownership zones (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The study found that homeownership was modest from 1970 to 1990 and dropped to 63.9 percent by the end of 1980. The 1990s homebuying market has improved and low interest rates and stable home price appreciation lowered the monthly cost of homeownership compared to the 1980s. The report looks at the results of the annual survey of homebuyers conducted by the Chicago Title and Trust Family of Title Insurers. Characteristics of first-time homebuyers, single and nontraditional households, affluent homebuyers, low-income households, loan-to-value ratios, immigration, and regional trends are reviewed. Unmet needs in the housing and credit markets are also addressed along with affordable lending programs initiated by the industry (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Of particular interest are HUD's Family Self-Sufficiency Program, which is currently underway in housing authorities across the country, and the Gateway Transitional Families Program in Charlotte, North Carolina. Integrated supportive, educational, and vocational services can help those who receive Federal housing assistance to make positive progress towards employment, the Brief finds. Available evidence suggests, however, that the gap between employment and self-sufficiency remains wide. In their first few years out of the programs, HUD self-sufficiency graduates tend to earn around the minimum wage, but the employment income of a single parent with two children working full-time at a minimum wage job in 1995 fell about $3,400 below the Fede ral poverty level. Due to the limitations of most available research, the long-term earnings potential of self-sufficiency graduates remains uncertain. However, the Brief cites HUD and Congress changes in public housing such as allowing housing authorities to hold down rents for wage-earning residents and sponsoring service-enriched environments for residents that will help make public housing more conducive to promoting self-sufficiency (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Available evidence cited by the report suggests that the cost of helping a borrower overcome a default is minimal compared with the interest expense, property management cost, and legal fees associated with foreclosure. However, the mortgage industry--including Federal insurers of mortgage credit--has not yet reached consensus on the best way to remedy seriously delinquent loans. The report found that some States permit quick foreclosure, which acts as a disincentive to loan workouts, according to the report. Divergent legal frameworks among States impede mortgage market efficiency. The report also recommends that credit risk-bearing agencies, such as Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, and the Department of Veterans Affairs provide better incentives for loan servicers to initiate loan modifications and forbearances. The also report urges statutory changes to give the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development broad authority to implement cost-saving foreclosure avoidance strategies that could help keep more borrowers in their homes while protecting the soundness of the FHA insurance fund (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD researchers analyzed the large and varied public housing stock of the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) to illustrate the situation that would confront public housing managers if current public housing residents received fully funded Section 8 certificates or vouchers and could choose where to live. The report estimates the supply and demand and market rent potential of each public housing development, finding that much of the city's public housing would operate at a loss. The study also identifies changes that could move HABC to a surplus (profit) position. Nonetheless, the analysis predicts that there would not be a large-scale movement of tenants out of public housing if tenant- based assistance was structured to give an incentive to shopping around for apartments renting below Fair Market Rent ceilings. Although the results of such an analysis will vary in different housing markets, this model can help other public housing authorities assess the rent potential of their stock in a future certain to be characterized by greater local flexibility and greater market discipline (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Public housing serves approximately 1.3 million of the nation's most vulnerable households, but it has some fundamental problems: it concentrates the very poor and is itself concentrated high- poverty neighborhoods; market discipline does not apply to public housing; and Federal micro management aggravates its problems. By the end of 1996, the Clinton Administration will have demolished nearly 30,000 of the most obsolete and irreparable public housing units in order to shift to smaller, more human-scale communities. The new model is to move away from the physical, economic, and social isolation and reconnect residents with the larger community. Management rules have been changed to allow greater flexibility and income mixing, to build innovative partnerships, and focus on results with accountability. The intent is to infuse positive incentives for public housing residents to encourage work and to impose tougher expectations regarding drugs and crime. Thus transformed, public housing continues to have an important role to play in supplying affordable housing. Illustrated with photographs and examples (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Worst case needs refer to households that are renters not receiving Federal housing assistance who have incomes below 50 percent of their local median, and who pay more than half of their income for rent and utilities or live in severely substandard housing. The report presents data and analysis that document: (1) A record--and growing--number of households (5.3 million) who face worst case housing needs, particularly among families with children, Hispanics, and those living in the western United States; (2) The concentration of those with acute housing needs at the very lowest income levels; (3) The persistence of acute housing needs among the elderly and persons with disabilities; (4) The high proportion of working people currently assisted by Federal housing programs and among those who have acute housing needs but do not receive assistance; (5) The failure of private housing markets to supply housing at rents affordable to the most needy households without Federal assistance. The report concludes that programs to supply affordable housing must be complemented with expanded rental assistance, and that Federal rental assistance must continue to carefully target households with the most acute housing needs.

It highlights operational changes such as improved fiscal management, reduction in HUD-owned properties, streamlining operations, and the reengineering of FHA business practices. These operational changes have lead to significant organizational changes as well, including the realignment of FHA's programs along its two main lines of business (single-family and multifamily insurance), a 50 percent reduction of middle management, increased authority and responsibility over operations for FHA field staff, and the creation of Homeownership Centers in Denver, Philadelphia, and Atlanta. The report also highlights new initiatives to serve homebuyers, including the Section 203(k) single-family rehabilitation program, the revamped Title I Property Improvement Program, and the Home Equity Conversion Program (HECM).

Despite rising mortgage interest rates and housing prices, new and existing home sales in the United States were strong in the second quarter of 1996, with homeownership reaching its highest level in 15 years. Increased consumer confidence, greater reliance on adjustable-rate mortgages, and concern over future rises in prices and interest rates may have contributed to this increase, according to the report. On the down side, mortgage interest rates rose almost two-thirds of a point during the second quarter. In addition, median new house prices reached a monthly high of $140,000 twice and median existing house prices topped $120,000 in June for the first time ever. A new addition to the report is the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's weighted repeat sales House Price Index for the U.S. and nine regions. Each issue provides brief analyses on regional conditions and developments in 10 metropolitan areas. The areas for this issue are--New Haven-Meriden, Connecticut; Jersey City, New Jersey; Norfolk-Virginia Beach- Newport News (Hampton Roads), Virginia; Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida; Cincinnati, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana; Austin-San Marcos, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri-Illinois; Pueblo, Colorado; San Francisco, California; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Washington.

In the third quarter of 1996, national housing activity continued at a healthy pace, marking a protracted housing production and marketing recovery that has lasted for more than 6 years. Several measures of housing activity in the third quarter--housing starts, manufactured home placements, existing home sales, and the National Association of Home Builders' index of builders' views--were higher than the previous year but down from the preceding quarter. The national homeownership rate rose to 64.6 percent, its highest level since 1981, and new home sales exceeded 700,000 units for the third consecutive quarter, the longest stretch in 17 years. This issue also provides overviews of regional economic and housing market trends in 10 metropolitan areas--Stamford- Norwalk, Connecticut; Binghamton, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Memphis, Tennessee; Rochester, Minnesota; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Omaha, Nebraska-Iowa; Durango, Colorado; Reno, Nevada; and Boise, Idaho (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Thomas H. Stanton discusses framework and policy options for restructuring Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Robert F. Cotterman and James E. Pearce examine the effects of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation on conventional fixed-rate mortgage yields. Brent W. Ambrose and Arthur Warga explore the implications of privatization and its costs to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Benjamin E. Hermalin and Dwight M. Jaffee discuss the privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and its implications for mortgage industry structure. Susan Wachter, James Follain, Peter Linneman, Roberto G. Quercia, and George McCarthy examine the implications of privatization for the attainment of social goals, such as the promotion of homeownership and the development of rental housing. Also includes commentaries on the studies by academic experts and by Fannie Mae, and in several cases responses to the commentaries by the study authors. No index.

The report addresses issues such as: FHA's unique role in insuring the mortgages of underserved borrowers; a low level of overlap between FHA and conventional lending; changes in FHA's market share; and the feasibility and desirability of scaling back or privatizing FHA. The report concludes that FHA has expanded homeownership above what it would have been otherwise, and that as long as it complements rather than competes with conventional lending, policymakers should be cautious about altering the single-family insurance program or privatizing FHA's functions (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

To acquire a better understanding, the project focused on the way minority and immigrant households make the transition from renting to owning their own homes. 'Ethnographic Studies of Homeownership and Home Mortgage Financing: An Introduction,' discusses the project's history and research methods. The remaining articles discuss four studies conducted in rural South Carolina; Montgomery County, Maryland; and Northern Queens and Syracuse, New York. The barriers to homeownership found by the research teams include lack of appropriate, affordable housing; limitations of existing financing tools; lack of home purchasing knowledge, credit knowledge, and credit judgment; and cultural gaps, biases, and misunderstandings [author abstract modified] (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Cities, once the heart of our nation, began declining in the 1950s as people moved to the suburbs, leaving large numbers of minority populations living without jobs and in poverty. Although some cities were able to delay the trend by annexing suburban land or consolidating city and county areas, central cities were losing jobs, people, and influence. Urban leaders were forced to find ways to revitalize cities by creating jobs, impr oving education, eliminating drugs and crime, expanding affordable housing opportunities, and strengthening civic participation and community pride. Today, the future of urban America appears to have improved. The economic revitalization of the country h as helped to return jobs, people, and safe neighborhoods to America's cities. The report includes case studies of 12 major American cities, detailing their efforts to renew downtown areas and revitalize neighborhoods (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This report details HUD's budget requests for FY 1998, with an emphasis on four core challenges that HUD expects to face in the coming years. These challenges are: averting a Section 8 housing crisis; expanding affordable housing opportunities for all Americans, making welfare reform work, and restoring public trust in HUD. The budget proposes a comprehensive solution to the Section 8 crisis by initiating significant program reforms to lessen costs in the future, while renewing all expiring contracts. It also proposes funding that would help create new affordable housing and homeownership opportunities for Americans. In response to welfare reforms, HUD proposes programs to encourage economic development and to help welfare recipients make the transition from dependency to work. In addition, the budget proposes management reforms to increase accountability from program recipients and providers at all levels. Tables detailing budget outlays by program for FY 1996-1998, as well as estimated budget outlays for FY 1999-2002 are also included in the report (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The report first summarizes the changes brought by The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. It then examines the impacts that these changes will have on projected subsidy costs, noncitizens, longer-term empowerment of low-income families, rent default and evictions, the central cities, and homelessness. To help put these issues into context, an attachment to the publication provides demographic and income data about residents of public and assisted housing.

Section I describes the decades of decline--the 1970s and 1980s--as a period of time in which cities experienced rising poverty and crime in conjunction with declining populations and schools. It also compares cities with suburbs and finds the cities lagging behind in the area of job growth. Section II outlines how a combination of national economic expansion and programs designed to empower local communities has enabled cities to experience a revival, even though they still face two major challenges: welfare reform and immigration. An innovative urban agenda that builds on the successes of the Clinton Administration's first term is revealed in Section III. Based on empowerment principles, the administration's program includes an urban homestead initiative; a second round of Empowerment Zones; new welfare-to-work transition tools; continuing increased policing to ensure safe, crime-free neighborhoods; cleaning up the urban environment; creating educational opportunity for all; and ensuring better and more affordable housing (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

As the national economy registered strong growth during the first quarter of 1997, the long boom in the U.S. housing market showed no sign of faltering. This quarter saw modest gains in housing production levels from the last quarter, with permits and starts totaling 1,422,000 and 1,441,000, respectively. Home sales are also off to a good start with new home sales up 8 percent since last quarter and sales of existing homes up 2 percent. Although interest rates rose slightly during the quarter, the increase has not reduced housing market activity. The report also provides brief analyses on regional conditions and developments in 10 metropolitan areas. This quarter's report focuses on metropolitan areas including: Portland, Maine; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Wilmington-Newark, Delaware-Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; Dayton-Springfield, Ohio; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Columbia, Missouri; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Diego, California; and Salem, Oregon. This issue also provides detailed information about new data available from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Dev elopment (HUD) on the mortgage purchases of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that HUD oversees. This information can help people understand where these GSEs are focusing their affordable homeownership efforts and ho w their affordable lending performance compares with those of other lenders in local market areas (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Housing production and sales continued at a strong pace in the third quarter of 1997, with all relevant measures revealing high levels of activity. These favorable conditions culminated with the attainment of an all-time high homeownership rate of 66.0 percent, breaking a 17-year-old record. The report also provides brief analyses o n regional conditions and developments in 10 metropolitan areas. This quarter's report focuses on metropolitan areas including: Manchester, New Hampshire; Rochester, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Jacksonville, Florida; St. Cloud, Minnesota; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri-Kansas; Denver, Colorado; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Portland-Vancover, Oregon-Washington. This issue also takes a closer look at 1996 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data, discussing the HMDA database and its cov erage of manufactured home and B&C (subprime) loans. It also examines the borrower and locational characteristics of manufactured home and B&C lending, comparing these loans with conventional prime and FHA loans. This quarter's report also contains an ap pendix that is included once a year that contains two tables: one contains information concerning the geographic distribution of federally assisted housing and the other contains results of Random Digit Dialing telephone surveys to estimate Fair Market R ents for selected market areas (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Spurred by growing consumer confidence and the availability of low interest rates, existing home sales rose to an all-time high in 1996, while new home sales reached their third highest level since 1963. Total home sales set a new record of 4.8 million units. Despite fourth quarter declines in housing production, marketing, and sales, 1996 was the best year since 1988 for housing starts and building permits. The report also provides brief analyses on regional conditions and developments in 10 metropolitan areas. This quarter's report focuses on metropolitan areas including: Boston, Massachusetts; Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York.; Washington, DC; Louisville, Kentucky; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Las Cruces, New Mexico; Des Moines, Iowa; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and Spokane, Washington. This issue discusses results fr om HUD's Property Owners and Managers Survey, which compares the characteristics and attitudes of owners and managers of affordable rental housing with their counterparts who operate more expensive units. The article finds that more than one-half of all owners report earning a profit or breaking even, but that affordable properties tend to be less profitable (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

According to the report, HUD has worked hard to overcome the dubious distinction of being the only Federal agency designated high risk by the U.S. General Accounting Office. The first section of the report covers the management reforms that have been made to improve HUD's performance and its campaign to wipe out waste, fraud, and abuse in its programs. Two sections in the report examine HUD's programs to empower communities and promote homeownership with the national homeownership rate hitting an all-time high of 66 percent. The housing crisis associated with Section 8 rental housing and the homeless also were issues HUD focused on in 1997. The report ends by looking at HUD's activities to assist welfare recipients and reduce housing discrimination (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The new program simplifies the formula by which lenders and borrowers calculate the amount of down payments required for an FHA single family loan. The new formula permits the maximum mortgage amount to be based on a fixed percentage of value exclusive of closing cost. This report fulfills the require ment that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development prepare a report to Congress studying: the effect of streamlining the mortgage calculation/loan-to-value formula for the entire nation, the potential impact on each state, the impact on the FHA insurance fund, and the potential impact on homeownership. The report presents the Department's initial analyses of how streamlining the down payment calculation will effect the entire country and the impact FHA down payment simplification had in Alaska and Hawaii. It also examines alternatives to the proposed formula and similarly assesses their impact on FHA lending (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC) program, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and its Office of University Partnerships, is designed to help two- and four-year colleges and universities take the next step in developing and sustaining effective partnerships with local governments and others. This report describes COPC and the many activities it has made possible in the first four funding rounds as well as the federal role in empowering universities and communities to act. The report explores the benefits of university-community partnerships for all who participate in them: the urban communities, the community leadership, the higher education institution, and the students and faculty. Individual COPCs activities are described to illustrate the community benefits of the partnerships. The report concludes by considering the COPC program as a catalyst that is causing colleges and universities to join their communities to search for answers to community problems (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

It covers the background of HUD's problems, including its designation as a high-risk agency; how the HUD 2020 Management Reform process was started; and the outcome of reviews initiated by the Government Performance and Results Act and HUD's Inspector General's office. The report also discusses the progress that has been made on managing internal controls, improving information and financial management systems, and instituting the 2020 reforms. The report suggests several keys to implementing management reforms, such as: meeting timetables; improving staffing and training; curing problems in troubled housing authorities; improving procurement and contracting practices; and creating a connection between the Results Act, 2020 reforms, and actual management reforms (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

To prepare the report, researchers analyzed families with worst-case housing needs: those with incomes below 50 percent of the median who do not receive rental assistance, but who pay more than half their income for rent or live in severely inadequate housing. According to the report, almost three quarters of extremely low-income families have worst-case housing needs. The repor t presents four major findings: (1) The number of households with worst-case needs failed to drop between 1993 and 1995, remaining at an all-time high of 5.3 million; (2) the stock of rental housing affordable to the lowest income families is shrinking, and Congress has eliminated funding for new rental assistance since 1995; (3) the fastest growth in worst-case needs in the 1990s was among working families; and (4) one out of every three households with worst-case needs now lives in the suburbs. The re port describes the Nation's current low-income housing policy as based on two strategies. The first strategy relies on economic expansion and welfare reform to increase the incomes of poor households enough for them to afford market-rate rental housing. The second strategy expands the supply of affordable housing through programs that subsidize the development of rental housing, especially HOME and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. Researchers posit that without a third strategy--additional rental assistance--the Nation's housing policy will not alleviate worst-case needs.

The LIHTC provides an income tax credit to owners of newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated low-income rental housing developments. Credit is limited and based on the number of low-income units, based on a minimum occupancy and maximum rent criteria. A building located in a Qualified Census Tract can receive a higher credit percentage. Designations are based on 1990 Census Data. The document also provides revised designations of Difficult Development Areas (DDAs), which are defined by the Secretary of HUD as areas that have high costs of construction, land, and utilities relative to the Area Median Gross Income.

Third-quarter statistics indicate that 66.8 percent of American households own their homes. The November 1998 issue reports that production was up during the third quarter, with both permits and starts ahead of the third quarter of 1997. Sales of existing homes set a new monthly record in July and reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 4,773,000 units for the quarter. The report predicts that 1998 will be the best year on record for existing home sales. New home sales reached 842,000 (SAAR) for the quarter, while September was the 13th consecutive month with sales above an annual rate of 800,000. Prices for new homes changed little from the second quarter: The median price was $150,000, and the average price was $180,200. Prices for existing homes increased 1 percent from the second quarter: The median price was $132,700, and the average price was $165,800. This issue also describes the state-of-the-cities data systems, a new and convenient way to obtain basic economic and demographic statistics on cities and their suburbs. U.S. Housing Market Conditions provides comprehensive, up-to-date information on national and regional housing market conditions and trends. Its easy-to-read summaries, tables, maps, and graphs offer data and historical analyses on housing production, housing marketing, housing finance, housing investment, and housing inventory (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

A thriving economy, increased housing affordability, and low mortgage interest rates helped the Nation break or challenge several housing records in 1997. The annual homeownership rate hit an all-time high of 65.7 percent, breaking the previous record from 1980. In addition, the sales of existing homes totaled 4,215,000, the highest annual rate in American history. New home sales totaled 800,000, while housing permits and starts finished the year with the third highest level since 1988. Regional conditions and developments in 10 metropolitan areas are analyzed briefly. Metropolitan areas included in this report are Waterbury, Connecticut; Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon, New Jersey; Philadelphia. Pennsylvania/New Jersey; Atlanta, Georgia. Indianapolis, Indiana; San Antonio, Texas; Lincoln, Nebraska; Grand Forks, North Dakota/Minnesota; Phoenix, Arizona; and Central Puget Sound, Washington. Two new tables were added to this quarter's report in the Regional Activity Section to provide information on the geographical location of housing production activity as measured by the number of housing permits issued (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

SN - 01472011 AB - This article focuses on efforts to improve municipal services in the U.S. and third world cities at lower cost through competition and privatization. Under the leadership of a new generation of reform-oriented mayors, cities are turning to the private sector to provide many public services. Privatization in developing countries has been advocated and fostered by the World Bank for about a decade. The impetus came from A. W. Clausen, who became president after being chairman and CEO of the Bank of America and thus was familiar with both the public and the private sectors. In recent years, the World Bank has been making loans in a number of countries for private production of infrastructure, such as electric power plants in the Ivory Coast and Guatemala and water and sewer facilities in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I use concepts of social performance to frame issues of culture and power that have received limited attention in earlier planning research. Drawing on three brief ethnographic accounts of a public interaction or “speech occasion,” I extend Forester's call for planners and policy professionals to understand and respond to the diverse communication styles and subtle power relations that shape public life. Informed responses are critical if planners aim to learn and get results while meaningfully involving various “publics” or stakeholders in decisions. Without such competence, many efforts to deliberate to “do” democracy in a diverse society will struggle along at needlessly high levels of confusion, distrust, and even resentment.

This includes $6.1 billion annually for 14,000 properties operated by 3,400 local public housing authorities and $8.3 billion annually for about 22,000 properties receiving project-based Section 8 or other forms of HUD rental subsidy. Another 8,000 properties benefit from FHA insurance or other forms of HUD assistance that do not involve direct rental subsidies. There had not yet been a way to assess the condition of the properties supported by these funds. With the HUD 2020 Management Reform Plan, HUD is now able to do so. A central element of the HUD 2020 plan was the establishment of a Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) to perform comprehensive testing of the quality of HUD housing. This report represents a review of results from REAC's initial inspections and other monitoring. Included are the first data on the ph ysical and financial condition of public housing, and the national survey of public housing residents (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The key provisions highlighted in the budget are: (1) legislation that expands and preserves affordable housing, (2) new investment in activities that will create jobs in new markets, and (3) new authority and funding to protect elderly persons. Resources for affordable housing include new section 8 rental assistance vouchers, increased public housing funds, and additional funding for programs for the homeless and persons with AIDS. The budget also provides increased funding to fight housing discrimination and to preserve existing affordable housing. In addition to $4.8 billion provided for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, $20 million will also be allocated for America's Private Investment Companies (APIC) program, $70 million for Round II Urban and Rural Empowerment Zones, and $25 million for Brownfields Redevelopment. The budget also includes provisions for a Housing Security Plan for Older Americans which will provide a full range of options - a 'Continuum of Care' - to meet the changing needs of the Nation's elderly (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The report discusses the findings that while older Americans are among the best housed citizens of a well-housed nation, millions of elderly households continue to live in housing that costs too much, is in substandard condition, or fails to accommodate their physical capabilities or assistance needs. The report identifies challenges to the adequacy, affordability, and accessibility of elderly housing. Finally, the report outlines the goals of the Clinton's Administration Housing Security Plan enacted to meet the changing housing and service needs of elderly persons. The goals of the program are (1) to help seniors remain in their own homes, (2) to expand affordable housing opportunities for lower income seniors, and (3) to improve the range and coordination of housing/service combinations (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

It also highlights the untapped potential of the Northeast which is comprised of nine states including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The study focuses on communities that continue to experience economic distress and recommends ways to tap new markets in those areas. Seven key findings are highlighted.

The Section 8 program now helps 3 million families around the world afford decent housing. Section 8 includes 2 forms of subsidy: tenant-based and project-based, each assisting roughly one-half the total Section 8 units. The tenant-based program provides vouchers that give residents the freedom to use their subsidies in a wide range of private market housing, while the project-based program provides subsidies tied to specific properties so that the properties themselves remain subsidized. This report documents the challenge that lies ahead for HUD, in addition to outlining the principles that the Administration and Con gress can use to respond to the coming challenge. Using Section 8 data, the report discusses numerous problems, including: Increasing expirations, Expiring contracts, One-year contract renewals, and a shortage of affordable housing (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

HUD responded and found that overall, older Americans are among the best housed citizens of a well-housed Nation. However, HUD also found that millions of elderly households continue to live in housing that costs too much, is in substandard condition, or fails to accommodate their physical capabilities or assistance needs. This report identifies challenges to each of the three key dimensions of elderly housing conditions: adequacy, affordability, and accessibility (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

This booklet provides Neighborhood Networks centers information on successful models of home-based child care. Centers can then use these models to develop child care services for resident families and expand the employment and business opportunities of residents. The booklet highlights 'Project Opportunity,' a replicable model for developing high-quality child care services that provide viable employment opportunities. Information is provided on program design, outcomes achieved by the program, and barriers to starting child care services. The report also provides tips to community groups interested in starting family child care, including information on resources and examples of other successful child care delivery systems. The concluding section describes child care services already being provided to residents at Neighborhood Networks centers, and lists resources for developing home-based child care.

The report identifies four main factors that contribute to these findings: (1) Rents are outpacing income for poor Americans; (2) affordable housing stock is consistently decli ning; (3) federal support for affordable housing has been cut; and (4) the expiration of project-based Section 8 subsidies worsens the rental crisis.

Social experiments are field studies of social programs in which individuals, households or firms are randomly assigned to two or more alternative policy interventions or treatments. Treatments tested by social experiments included negative income taxes, low-income housing assistance, co-insurance rates, re-employment bonuses, welfare to work initiatives, job training, time of day electric rates and case management models of human service delivery. The results of such experiments not only supply the public with policy-relevant information, but also provide employment and insight to economists. In this regard, it is necessary to discuss the history of social experiments. The beginning of social experimentation is often attributed to Heather Ross, a Master of Information Technology graduate student in economics who wanted to conduct a negative income tax experiment as her dissertation research and wrote a funding proposal to the federal government. Her idea directly resulted in the New Jersey Income Maintenance Experiment. The New Jersey experiment is therefore generally regarded as the beginning of social experimentation.

COPC gives grants to colleges and universities to help revitalize distressed communities. Initiated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), COPC is one of several means by which HUD fosters university-community partnerships, transforming the relationship between universities and communities from one of mutual distrust to one embracing cooperation. The report discusses the evolution, basic concepts, and main benefits of COPC. Used to leverage matching funds from other sources, COPC grants can be applied to a wide range of activities, with the exception of construction, rehabilitation, or other physical development. The activities of COPC grantees fall into five categories: service provision, curriculum (including service learning), community in the classroom, applied research, and major institutional change for the college or university. COPC activities are generally part of larger, sustained community revitalization processes. A list of COPC grantee contacts is provided in the report (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

The report's findings are based primarily on data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development State of the Cities Data System. The first finding is that high-tech employment is growing faster in suburbs than in cities but the proportion of new jobs that are high-tech is larger in cities than in suburbs. Second, the population is aging and becoming more ethnically and racially diverse. Also, a disproportionate number of the elderly poor live in the cities. Third, the economic growth pushing up employment and housing in most cities is causing rents and home prices to increase faster than inflation. Finally, residential and business development is being driven to the fringes, producing an acceleration of land consumption. The report recommends reinvestment in cities, smart growth practices, and regional connections. The report also contains 35 tables and figures, and two appendixes, including FY 2001 budget highlights for cities and suburban communities, and nine tables presenting data on individual cities and suburbs (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

Data is provided for the following housing categories: production, marketing, finance, investment, and inventory. For each category, data is provided for the latest quarter, the previous quarter, the same quarter of the previous year, the percent change from the previous quarter, and the percent change from last year. The report shows that most of the indicators worsened, except for existing home sales and some multifamily items. Homeownership was at a record high, but interest rates remained above 8 percent. Using data from the American Housing Survey and other sources, the report also provides average user costs of homeownership for 1997 for the nation as a whole and for various demographic categories. The report defines user cost of homeownership and describes the method used to estimate user costs, which are reported in three ways: percent of house value, dollar value, and percent of household income. The report summarizes housing market conditions for each of the following regions: New England, New York/New Jersey, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast/Caribbean, Midwest, Southwest, Great Plains, Rocky Mountain, Pacific, and Northwest. In addition, the report provides historical data by year for different indicators and contains 54 tables (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)

In the first quarter of 2000, the U.S. housing market was still strong with increases in housing production (housing permits, starts, and completions) and homeownership rates. However, some unfavorable signs surfaced as the quarter closed. There was a decrease in manufactured housing shipments and existing home sales, and interest rates rose above the 8 percent threshold affecting home affordability. In addition to national data, each issue provides a brief analyses on regional conditions and developments in ten metropolitan areas. The areas for this issue are; Manchester, New Hampshire; Utica-Rome, New York; Washington, DC-Maryland-Virgina-West Virgina; Ponce, Puerto Rico; Madison, Wisconsin; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Lincoln, Nebraska; Fort Collins-Loveland, Colorado; Orange County, California; and Bremerton, Washington.

For thirty years after the Republic of China was proclaimed in 1912, the country was under constant hostilities among warlords and from Japanese invasion. As warlords ruled the country in the name of the Republic but in defiance of its Constitution, Chinese people and government systems were exploited without mercy. In 1977, the Land Tax Law was passed to provide stronger regulatory and enforcement power for land-related taxes. Two major land-related taxes were defined in the laws, land-value tax and land-value increment tax. The land-value tax was developed to expand the local government revenue base. The land-value increment tax was designed to ensure the public enjoyment of future land value increment. In other words, land-value increment tax's objectives are to assure the equal distribution of future benefits from land and to control and speculation. The land- and building-related taxes in Taiwan include land-value tax, agricultural land tax, land-value increment tax, deed tax, house tax, and estate and gift tax. In fiscal year 1995, national taxes accounted for 53.8 percent of total national revenues, while provincial and city taxes accounted for 20.4 percent; and prefectural and municipal taxes accounted for 20.9 percent.

However, shelter alone is not the answer to homelessness. The failure of the emergency shelter approach alone has caused homeless individuals and families, as well as the community, to suffer. This report discusses the D.C. Initiative, led by Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros and the former(but then current)District of Columbia Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly, in which a continuum of care system was proposed. The system consists of three basic components: 1) outreach/assessment, 2) transitional housing combined with rehabilitative services, and 3) placement into permanent housing.

Dry and wet scraping and dry machine sanding were applied to wooden doors obtained from lead-hazard control sites. The airborne particle concentration and size distribution were monitored using a realtime particle size spectrometer. Particulates were also collected on filters and analyzed for total dust and lead. The resulting airborne lead mass was determined for each cleaning procedure, and the potential floor lead loading resulting from the dust settling was calculated. Wipe samples were collected to measure the actual floor lead loading. The effectiveness of final cleaning was evaluated first for dry abatement methods. Various cleaning work practices were tested by applying wet and dry debris sweeping as well as no sweeping in combinations with wet and dry removal of plastic sheeting. Considerable resuspension of leaded particles was detected during dry sweeping: the airborne lead mass increase ranged between 65 and 220 percent. However, this increase did not exceed 22 percent when wet sweeping was applied. Minimal or no resuspension was found when the plastic was folded with leaded debris inside (no sweeping was performed prior to the sheeting removal). During folding activity, the "clean" (uncovered) floor surface may be significantly contaminated with leaded dust from workers' shoes and cleaning tools. The first HEPA vacuuming resulted in a 15- to 20-fold decrease of the airborne lead mass; however, it was not sufficient to reduce the floor lead loading to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) clearance level of 40 μg/ft[sup 2], as determined by wipe sampling. Wet mopping following the first HEPA vacuuming was proven to be effective to reduce the lead loading significantly below 40 μg/ft[sup 2]. The second HEPA vacuuming resulted in further reduction of the airborne lead mass concentration. The floor lead loading remained much lower than 40 μg/ft[sup 2]. These results were confirmed in the tests when using wet scraping. Overall, the HUD-recommended cleaning protocol was found to be sufficient in reducing the floor lead loading below 40 μg/ft[sup 2]. At the same time, several modifications are proposed in this study to further improve the cleaning effectiveness.

A review essay JO - Journal of Housing Economics JF - Journal of Housing Economics Y1 - 2002/12// VL - 11 IS - 4 M3 - Article SP - 381 SN - 10511377 AB - This essay reviews the evidence on indirect effects of housing assistance in the US on the self-sufficiency of assisted families. The primary issue is whether housing assistance perversely undermines the upward mobility of families. I find the following: Housing assistance is not persuasively associated with any effect on employment. Evidence on human capital accumulation remains conflicting and fragmentary. However, a strong association with single-adult household formation exists. The project-basing of assistance distorts the neighborhood choice of at least 9 or 15% of households in high-poverty housing projects, depending on the counterfactual; early experimental results suggest significant adverse consequences for the lives of boys.

How long do tenants remain assisted once admitted to one of the assistance programs? The authors use extracts from very large HUD tenant administrative data systems to answer these questions, with special attention to tenants who are neither elderly nor disabled. Five out of every nine nonelderly nondisabled assisted tenants are employed; earnings for most of the employed do not exceed the federal poverty level. The typical current spell in housing assistance for the nonelderly nondisabled is approximately 3 years, with wide variance.

It studies a common form of rent regulation that limits rent growth to below-market increases but permits landlords to set the base rent at free market levels and allows them to re-set rents when the incumbent tenant vacates, after which rents are re-controlled (‘vacancy decontrol–recontrol’). One of the primary insights is that neither the timing nor the density of construction is affected by rent stabilization when base rents are perfectly flexible. Allowing landlords to set the initial contract rent lets them capture the benefits to the renter of rent stabilization. Perfect capitalization of rent stabilization into a higher base rent provides the landlord with a free market rate of return and thus does not distort development activity. However, redevelopment of land will be hastened because rent stabilization complemented by vacancy decontrol–recontrol increases the difference between rents before and after redevelopment, increasing the opportunity costs of postponing redevelopment. Extensions include an analysis of other common rent regulations and the impact of rent stabilization on the urban rent gradient.

AB - What contributes most to borrower delinquency--'excessive' borrowing that results in greater financial stress or unforeseen negative income and wealth shocks? Using data from the 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances, this paper provides evidence that consumer delinquency problems are mainly the result of unexpected negative events that neither the lender nor the borrower could have anticipated at the time the credit request was evaluated. The size of the household payments burden has an insignificant effect on delinquency risk and very little effect on default risk. Finally, household financial assets that can be used as a buffer against negative shocks also serve as a very important predictor of delinquency risk.

The Russian elderly have often been among the most vulnerable in the wake of economic transition. On the other hand, they have also been the beneficiaries of a very large transfer of wealth in the form of privatized housing. However, in the absence of a developed financial system, it has proven difficult to use housing wealth to address income concerns because this requires either being able to borrow against the expected future income stream or the sale of the asset. The existence of such large unencumbered wealth holdings by lower income elderly creates an opportunity to provide what might be termed “housing safety net insurance.” We show that the Russian elderly hold so much housing wealth that these financial instruments could allow many of them the possibility of being able to move out of poverty and the risks of becoming poor and into middle income status for the rest of their lives. In this essay we discuss what would be involved with the elderly using financial instruments to access their housing wealth. This review highlights how general asymmetric information problems associated with writing annuity contracts, particularly when these contracts involve housing, have been dealt with in market economies. We briefly discuss some of the circumstances in Russia that could compound these sorts of problems. We then consider the empirical situation of the elderly in Moscow in more detail. This description illustrates the potential demand for such financial products and attempts to determine whether the housing wealth of the elderly could provide a platform to ameliorate some of their poverty problems. The empirical findings for Moscow are likely to be similar, if not as extreme, in many other FSU countries because in these countries the elderly also own a great deal of unencumbered housing wealth, and they are often older societies.

Models are presented for estimating the demand on the family and the elderly housing, and empirical illustrations for the practitioners of a housing market analysis are indicated. We elevate the FHA technique from a descriptive level within an engineering paradigm that did not change for over half a century to an evolutionary statistical model. Housing market analysts will find the model a useful supplement to their regular operations in terms of the diagnostic checks for their estimates.

SN - 10748105 AB - This article examines factors that may contribute to the possible failure of a regulatory negotiation with the U.S. Center for Medicaid Services. A regulatory negotiation is a multiparty negotiation in which a sponsoring regulatory agency convenes a group of representatives from diverse interest groups concerned about a proposed regulation of a particular subject matter. The explicit goal of the negotiation is to reach a consensus on a proposed regulation that will be published in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). Regulatory negotiations usually operate on the basis of a consensus. For the purpose of a regulatory negotiation, consensus is usually defined as a solution that is acceptable to all members of the regulatory negotiation committee. One objector is enough to prevent a consensus from being reached. When that occurs, the agency can issue a NPRM that reflects its view of the rule and the participants can file adverse comments to the NPRM or file a lawsuit to prevent implementation of the rule. The advantage of the regulatory negotiation is that participants know the exact rule that will be published. It is often advantageous for industry representatives to compromise to obtain this certainty. Likewise, the regulating agency may compromise to reduce the potential for attack on the proposed regulation.

Frequently, these data must be integrated with data from other sources to meet application requirements. A critical first step in this process of data integration is to identify the correspondences between networks, so that data can be merged or transferred from one network to another. This paper introduces a semiautomated method that combines an automated algorithm and an interactive procedure to match networks that are represented differently. The automated algorithm establishes robust correspondences for nodes, edges, and segments between two networks using a cluster-based matching mechanism. The interactive procedure allows a user to visually check and correct correspondences that are mismatched by the automated algorithm. Two matching examples are presented in the paper to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The results of these two matching examples illustrate that this semiautomated method is highly effective and can meet the needs of real-world applications. The automated algorithm is capable of generating reliable matching measures, resolving difficult matches, and in both cases, correctly identifying the overwhelming majority of the matching counterparts. The interactive procedure, on the other hand, is useful for checking and correcting mismatched counterparts during the early stage of the matching process, which significantly improves performance and reliability.

(1) Are welfare recipients who receive federal housing assistance less employable than recipients who do not? (2) How does the impact of welfare reform compare for families with and without housing assistance? (3) Does welfare reform increase or decrease the use of such assistance? Although public housing residents may be more disadvantaged than welfare recipients who do not get housing assistance, voucher users and Section 8 project-based recipients were not. Welfare reform had similar impacts on the earnings and welfare benefits of families that received housing assistance and those that did not. Where impacts did differ, they were larger for families receiving assistance. Welfare reform also reduced the receipt of housing assistance. Families that receive assistance appear to have less financial strain than families that do not, suggesting that assistance may increase overall financial stability.

We used models fit to the 1994 data to predict health insurance claims costs for 1995. We implemented the linear mixed model in SAS and used two different prediction methods to predict 1995 costs. In the linear mixed model we assumed a normal likelihood. In the hierarchical Bayes model, we used Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to obtain posterior distributions of the parameters, as well as predictive distributions of the next year's costs. We assumed the likelihood for this model to be a mixture of a gamma distribution for the nonzero costs, with a point mass for the zero costs. All prediction methods use credibility-type estimators that use relevant information from related experience. The linear mixed model was heavily influenced by the skewed nature of the data. The assumed gamma likelihood of the full Bayesian analysis appeared to underestimate the tails of the distributions. All prediction models underestimated costs for 1995.

In 2004, the homeownership rate reached its highest level in history. Today, nearly 70% of American families own their own homes, and the minority homeownership rate has surpassed 51% for the first time in history. Despite achieving the highest homeowner-ship rate in history, minorities remain less likely than non-Hispanic whites to own their homes.

T1 - Biosolids compost amendment for reducing soil lead hazards: a pilot study of Orgro® amendment and grass seeding in urban yards JO - Science of the Total Environment JF - Science of the Total Environment Y1 - 2005/03/15/ VL - 340 IS - 1-3 M3 - Article SP - 81 EP - 95 SN - 00489697 AB - Abstract: In situ inactivation of soil Pb is an alternative to soil removal and replacement that has been demonstrated in recent years at industrial sites with hazardous soil Pb concentrations. Most children exposed to elevated soil Pb, however, reside in urban areas, and no government programs exist to remediate such soils unless an industrial source caused the contamination. Modern regulated biosolids composts have low Pb concentrations and low bioaccessible Pb fractions and can improve grass growth on urban soils. High Fe and P biosolids composts can reduce the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of soil Pb and can aid in establishing vegetation that would reduce soil transfer into homes. For these reasons, we conducted a field test of their use to reduce Pb bioaccessibility in urban soils in Baltimore, MD USA. We chose biosolids compost for its expected reduction in the bioaccessible Pb fraction of urban soils, ease of use by urban residents, and ability to beautify urban areas. Nine urban yards with mean soil Pb concentrations >800 mg Pb kg−1 were selected and sampled at several distances from the house foundation before soil treatment. The soils were rototilled to 20 cm depth to prepare the sites, and resampled. The yards were then amended with 6–8 cm depth of Orgro® biosolids compost (110–180 dry t/ha) rich in Fe and P, mixed well by rototilling, and resampled. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) was seeded and became well established. Soils were resampled 1 year later. At each sampling time, total soil Pb was measured using a modified U.S. EPA nitric acid hotplate digestion method (SW 846 Method 3050) and bioaccessible Pb fraction was measured using the Solubility/Bioaccesibility Research Consortium standard operating procedure with modifications, including the use of glycine-buffered HCl at pH 2.2. Samples of untreated soils were collected from each yard and mixed well to serve as controls for the Pb bioaccessibility of field treated soils over time independent of positional variance within yards. At 1-year post-treatment, grass cover was healthy and reductions in bioaccessible Pb concentrations compared to pre-tillage were 64% (from 1655 to 595 mg kg−1) and 67% (from 1381 to 453 mg kg−1) at the sampling lines closest to the houses. Little or no reduction in bioaccessible Pb concentration was observed at sampling lines more remote from the house that also had the lowest bioaccessible Pb concentrations at pre-tillage (620 and 436 mg kg−1, respectively). For the control soils, changes over time in total Pb and bioaccessible Pb concentrations and the bioaccessible Pb fraction were insignificant. This study confirms the viability of in situ remediation of soils in urban areas where children are at risk of high Pb exposure from lead in paint, dust and soil.

The Evaluation is the largest study ever done on the effectiveness of lead hazard controls implemented in residential dwellings. The Evaluation had several major objectives: determining the effectiveness of various lead hazard controls in reducing residential dust lead levels and children''s blood lead levels, establishing the costs of doing lead hazard control work and factors that influence those costs, determining the rate of clearance testing failures and their causes, and identifying possible negative effects of lead hazard control work on children''s blood lead levels. This paper reports the overall research design and data collection methods of the Evaluation. The large number of dwelling units enrolled in the Evaluation was possible only by the innovative partnership among HUD, the Evaluators, and the grantees. HUD and the Evaluators relied on the grantees for essentially all of the data collection. The 14 participating HUD Lead Hazard Control Grantees were responsible for implementing the lead hazard control programs in their communities and collecting the study data. This paper describes the methods for recruiting and enrolling dwellings and families, collecting environmental and housing data, interviewing participating families, and collecting data on lead hazard control work performed and its costs. The paper also describes the basic quality control and quality assurance procedures used. The principal outcome measures were lead in dust collected using wipes from floors, window sills, and window troughs and lead in blood collected from children who were 6 years old or younger at enrollment. Data collection was conducted before intervention, immediately postintervention, and 6 and 12 months postintervention. For a subset of dwellings undergoing an extended follow-up data were also collected at 24 and 36 months postintervention. This paper provides the context for subsequent reports that will describe such findings as the influence of lead hazard control work on serial dust lead levels, the influence of lead hazard control work on serial blood lead levels in children, the nature and costs of the lead hazard control work done at the dwellings, and the experience of the grantees in meeting clearance testing requirements.

The Moving to Opportunity (MTO) experiment in the US randomly assigned high-poverty public housing residents to a programme that subsidised occupancy in non-poor areas, permitting controlled analysis of neighbourhood impacts. In this paper, MTO data are used to answer the following questions. How much impact can a one-time intervention have on the subsequent residential experience of poor families from high-poverty neighbourhoods? It is found that the impacts on subsequent residential experience are statistically and practically significant. Are poor families who move to non-poor neighbourhoods significantly different from poor families who do not, in (usually) unmeasured characteristics? It is found that yes, they are. What difference does moving to a better neighbourhood make? There are large gains in safety, other improvements in neighbourhood quality and no loss in social ties.

JO - Pediatrics JF - Pediatrics Y1 - 2005/08// VL - 116 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 454 EP - 461 SN - 00314005 AB - Objective. The majority of deaths from unintentional injuries in children occur in the home environment, but there has not been a comprehensive analysis of residential deaths in the United States since 1985. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and trends of deaths from injuries that occurred in the residential setting. Methods. Injury-related death rates of all deaths among US children and adolescents who were younger than 20 years from 1985 to 1997 were calculated using National Vital Statistics System Mortality Data from 1985 to 1997 by age group, gender, region, and race. Poisson regression or negative binomial regression was used to test for trends over time in mortality rates. Results. From 1985 to 1997, an average of 2822 (55%) of 5103 annual unintentional deaths in US children with a known location of injury took place in the home environment. The annual number and incidence of fatal residential injuries decreased by >22%, from 2973 (4.2 per 100 000) in 1985 to 2310 (3.0 per 100 000) in 1997. The death rate as a result of residential injury was highest in children who were younger than 1 year (12.6 per 100 000) and 1 to 4 years (7.9 per 100 000) compared with older children, boys compared with girls (4.9 vs 2.8 per 100 000), and black children compared with white children (7.0 vs 3.3 per 100 000). The highest death rates were attributable to fires (1.5 per 100 000), submersion or suffocation (1.3 per 100 000), poisoning (0.2 per 100 000), and falls (0.1 per 100 000). Conclusions. Despite a 22% decline since 1985, residential injuries remain a leading cause of death in US children and adolescents.

AB - This paper examines housing as a contextual factor affecting drug and sexual risk behaviors among HIV positive people using pooled interview data from 2149 clients presenting for services at 16 medical and social service agencies participating in a multi-site evaluation study. The odds of recent drug use, needle use or sex exchange at the baseline interview was 2-4 times as high among the homeless and unstably housed compared to persons with stable housing. Follow-up data collected 6-9 months after baseline showed that change in housing status was associated with change in risk behaviors. Persons whose housing status improved between baseline and follow-up significantly reduced their risks of drug use, needle use, needle sharing and unprotected sex by half in comparison to individuals whose housing status did not change. In addition, for clients whose housing status worsened between baseline and follow-up, their odds of recently exchanging sex was over five times higher than for clients whose housing status did not change. The provision of housing is a promising structural intervention to reduce the spread of HIV.

The authors hypothesize that youth who experience lower levels of parental monitoring and higher levels of exposure to neighborhood environments are more likely to be influenced by collective supervision capacity. The study also examines the extent to which parental and neighborhood controls differ in their impact on first intercourse experiences by gender. Analyses of multilevel and longitudinal data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods indicate that neighborhood collective efficacy delays sexual onset only for adolescents who experience lower levels of parental monitoring. Although parental monitoring exerts significantly greater influence on girls' timing of first intercourse, the moderating effect of parental monitoring on collective efficacy holds for both boys and girls.

T1 - A study of urban housing demolition as a source of lead in ambient dust on sidewalks, streets, and alleys JO - Environmental Research JF - Environmental Research Y1 - 2005/10// VL - 99 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 204 EP - 213 SN - 00139351 AB - Abstract: We examined changes in ambient dust lead (Pb) levels associated with the demolition of older row houses containing lead paint in Baltimore, MD, USA. Our previous paper describes the three study sites, the demolition processes, and increases in the Pb dustfall rate during demolition (>40-fold) and debris removal (>6-fold) within 10m of sites where wetting was of limited effectiveness. This paper presents the analysis of settled dust collected using a cyclone device from streets, sidewalks, and alleys within 100m of study sites before, immediately after, and 1 month after demolition. We found acute increases in Pb loadings and dust loadings after demolition and debris removal that are of public health concern. Streets and alleys had the greatest increases in Pb loadings and the highest levels overall. At one site, geometric mean (GM) Pb loadings immediately after demolition increased 200% for streets to 8080μg/ft2, 138% for alleys to 6020μg/ft2, and 26% for sidewalks to 2170μg/ft2. One month after demolition, the GM Pb loadings for streets, alleys, and sidewalks were reduced on average by 41–67% from postdemolition levels and were below baseline levels for alleys and sidewalks. The other main site had smaller increases in GM Pb loadings immediately after demolition—18% for alleys to 1740μg/ft2 and 18% for sidewalks to 2050μg/ft2—and a decrease of 29% for streets to 2730μg/ft2. Exterior dust is a public health concern because it is a pathway of ambient Pb exposure and a potential source of residential exposure via tracking and reaerosolization and redeposition. Our findings highlight the need to control demolition-related Pb deposition and to educate planners, contractors, and health and housing agencies. This is particularly important given the large numbers of aging US dwellings that will be razed as part of future urban redevelopment efforts.

This research is part of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development''s (HUD) overall program evaluation strategy for assessing the effectiveness of their LHC Grant Program. Childhood blood-lead levels (BLLs) in housing units that were treated through HUD''s LHC Grant Program were compared to BLLs in untreated matched control housing units. Data from multiple sources—local housing departments, local tax assessor departments, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health—were linked to identify similar sets of treated and untreated dwellings. Geometric mean BLLs from before and after treatment were compared for the two sets of housing. Ten years of blood-lead surveillance data for children living in the selected dwellings were analyzed using log-linear mixed models and logistic regression models. Results indicate a 50% decline in BLLs in treated homes, a significantly larger decline than in untreated homes after adjusting for the general downward trend in BLLs observed in the general population for the last several years. Data show that homes that received HUD LHC treatments had children with blood-lead levels that declined twice as fast as in similar untreated homes. These findings show that LHC efforts are successful in reducing children''s blood-lead levels.

To support their soil-only hypothesis, researchers made three primary soil lead represents a large and available reservoir of environmental lead, resuspension of lead from contaminated soil followed by inhalation of airborne particulate matter < 10 µ in diameter (PM10) and dust deposition on interior surfaces is the major source of lead exposure to children, and the major source of lead contaminated soil is fallout from the past use of tetraethyl lead in gasoline.

The purpose of this study was to determine if low-phosphate, non-lead-specific cleaners could be used to efficiently remove LCD from 3 types of surfaces (vinyl flooring, wood, and wallpaper). Laboratory methods were developed and validated for simulating the doping, embedding, and sponge cleaning of the 3 surface types with 4 categories of cleaners: lead-specific detergents, nonionic cleaners, anionic cleaners, and trisodium phosphate (TSP). Vinyl flooring and wood were worn using artificial means. Materials were ashed, followed by ultrasound extraction, and anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). One-way analysis of variance approach was used to evaluate the surface and detergent effects. Surface type was found to be a significant factor in removal of lead (p < 0.001), Vinyl flooring cleaned better than wallpaper by over 14% and wood cleaned better than wallpaper by 13%. There was no difference between the cleaning action of vinyl flooring and wood. No evidence was found to support the use of TSP or lead-specific detergents over all-purpose cleaning detergents for removal of lead-contaminated dusts. No-phosphate, non-lead-specific detergents are effective in sponge cleaning of lead-contaminated hard surfaces and childhood lead prevention programs should consider recommending all-purpose household detergents for removal of lead-contaminated dust after appropriate vacuuming.

AB - Purpose: A review of the literature was conducted on the role that discrimination in education, housing, employment, the judicial system and the healthcare system plays in the origination, maintenance and perpetuation of racial/ethnic health disparities to serve as background information for funding Program Announcement, PA-05-006, The Effect of Racial/Ethnic Discrimination/Bias on Healthcare Delivery (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-05-006.html). The effect of targeted marketing of harmful products and environmental justice are also discussed as they relate to racial/ethnic disparities in health. Conclusion: Racial/ethnic disparities in health are the result of a combination of social factors that influence exposure to risk factors, health behavior and access to and receipt of appropriate care. Addressing these disparities will require a system that promotes equity and mandates accountability both in the social environment and within health delivery systems.

Today, it is possible to differentiate between types of borrowers, and riskier borrowers can participate in credit markets if they are willing to pay relatively higher borrowing costs. Hence, a more critical issue concerning the performance of these markets should be whether loan prices correctly reflect the level of borrower credit risk. This paper reexamines consumer participation in credit markets looking specifically at issues related to the pricing of borrowers of different credit risk.

SN - 1098092X AB - In "Housing Conditions and Homelessness," John C. Weicher, Assistant Secretary for Housing/Federal Housing Administration Commissioner at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, discusses trends in homelessness and housing conditions. His main sources of data are the American Housing Survey (AHS) and special surveys on homelessness. Because of the dearth of post-1996 data, he focuses on trends before welfare reform. In regard to homelessness, Weicher explains that few reliable data are available, so that estimates of the total number of homeless people are problematic. He estimates that about 600,000 people are homeless in an average week, and that the estimate can vary over the course of a year. The most recent national data are for 1996 and serve as a baseline from which to observe trends. At present, virtually no evidence indicates that homelessness has increased (or decreased) since the passage of welfare reform.

In this paper we demonstrate the cycle at work by refining a land-use model developed in a previous paper and applying it to a national dataset of metropolitan counties. The recursive simultaneous-equations model is structured around five-year intervals, and enables us to observe how the political landscape (urban development patterns) at time t - 5 affects spatial outcomes (municipal fragmentation) at time t. The results suggest that regulatory failure may bear as much fault for urban sprawl as the more commonly cited market failures, and that it may therefore be worthwhile to shin the focus of the sprawl/antisprawl debate from its physical to its political dimensions. Future research should focus on identifying the systematic nature of sprawl and, as an extension, the various policy levers that may be used to mitigate its negative consequences, The paper improves on previous research in four key ways: by describing the underlying theory in greater detail; by rounding out the recursive relationship; by enriching the set of interdependent variables: and by expanding the geographic scope of the model. Its primary contribution is to deepen the pool of empirical evidence linking political structure to patterns of growth and change in US metropolitan regions.

A stratified random sampling scheme was used to select treated units at four grantee sites for continued environmental assessment at 6 years post-intervention. The study compared the relative effectiveness after 6 years of the different classes of interventions used by the grantees, after controlling for such factors as housing conditions and characteristics and resident and neighborhood characteristics. Geometric mean dust-lead levels on floors and window sills were 11% and 23% lower, respectively, at 6 years post-intervention than at any preceding point following the intervention. Although geometric mean window trough dust-lead levels were slightly higher at 6 years post-intervention than at other post-intervention time periods, they were still over 75% lower than before intervention. Treatment at more-intensive levels was associated with lower window sill and window trough dust-lead levels; however, statistical modeling found no significant difference in floor dust-lead loadings over time between the levels of treatment; however, significant differences in window sill and window trough dust-lead levels between treatment levels were evident. Findings from the 6-Year Extension study indicate that across all grantees and treatment strategies the treatments applied were effective at significantly reducing environmental lead levels on floors, window sills, and window troughs at least 6 years following the intervention.

Multi-stage sampling with clustering was used to select 168 child care centers in 30 primary sampling units in the United States. Centers were recruited into the study by telephone interviewers. Samples for pesticides, lead, and allergens were collected at multiple locations in each center by field technicians. Field sampling was conducted from July through October 2001. Wipe samples from indoor surfaces (floors, tabletops, desks) and soil samples were collected at the centers and analyzed using a multi-residue GC/MS analysis method. Based on the questionnaire responses, pyrethroids were the most commonly used pesticides among centers applying pesticides. Among the 63% of centers reporting pesticide applications, the number of pesticides used in each center ranged from 1 to 10 and the frequency of use ranged from 1 to 107 times annually. Numerous organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides were detected in the indoor floor wipe samples. Chlorpyrifos (0.004–28 ng/cm²), diazinon (0.002–18 ng/cm²), cis-permethrin (0.004–3 ng/cm²), and trans-permethrin (0.004–7 ng/cm²) were detected in >67% of the centers. Associations exist between residues measured on the floor and other surfaces for several pesticides (p-values range from <0.0001 to 0.002), but to a lesser degree between floor and soil and other surfaces and soil. Regional analyses indicate no differences in mean level of pesticide loading between the four Census regions (0.08 < p < 0.88). Results show that there is the potential for exposure to pesticides in child care centers.

Demand for HECM loans is increasing and may continue to rise in the future as the baby boom generation enters its retirement years. An efficient secondary market would help the HECM program realize its full market potential to meet this growing demand. Information for investors to gauge the future performance of HECM loans has not been widely available but is critical to help the secondary market mature. This article addresses the need for information by analyzing HUD historical data on HECM loan terminations--a major risk factor in assessing loan performance. Reverse mortgage terminations are primarily driven by the timing of borrower deaths and voluntary loan payoffs associated with moving out of the mortgaged property. Thus, borrower age and type (specifically single female or male or couples) affect reverse mortgage termination rates. One unique feature of the HECM program (compared to other reverse mortgage products available in the market) is that it gives lenders the option to assign an active HECM loan to HUD in the event the loan balance reaches the maximum claim covered by FHA insurance. From an investor's perspective, the assignment of an active loan to HUD is the equivalent of a loan termination. The research described in this article generates annual hazard and survival rate tables for HECM loans grouped by age and borrower type and examines the impact assignments have on expected termination experiences for these groups. It finds that assignments begin to impact hazard and survival rates after policy year six for all borrowers and as early as policy year four for older borrowers. Additional findings related to borrower age and borrower type are discussed.

As a program that allocates billions of dollars each year, it is important that those funds be targeted as efficiently as possible to the places with the greatest community development needs. To first understand how well the current formula targets funds to these needs and then to identify better ways of targeting the funds, each community must have a score to represent its relative level of community development need. Because community development need is a function of many different things, it requires using a dozen variables or more to construct the score. Since 1976, HUD has developed, and published in a series of reports, a community development needs index using the statistical procedure factor analysis. The first index was developed with 1970 data and subsequent indexes have used 1980, 1990, and 2000 census data. Factor analysis can be used in different ways to reduce many variables into a few variables that measure different patterns of distress. This article compares two approaches using 2000 census data and reaches the same basic conclusions about which key variables are important for demonstrating community development need. A wide range of policy choices on how to weight those variables exists, however, regarding what types of need are higher priorities for funding than others. It is in the weighting of the variables used in the Bush administration's proposal in 2006 for changing the formula, rather than the formula variables themselves, that the debate on improving the formula should focus.

Four questions are critical in evaluating the efficiency of federally mandated disclosure by itself as a regulatory strategy: whether lending and title fees are large enough to be worth regulating; whether the Good Faith Estimate mandated by RESPA is an unbiased and consistent estimator of lending and title fees; whether state law has a negligible effect on fees (and therefore only national regulation is pertinent to the problem RESPA addresses); and whether RESPA achieves fairness, in the sense that disclosure so strengthens the negotiating position of buyers and sellers relative to service providers that the principals' personal characteristics do not influence the fees they pay. This article presents preliminary tests on these issues from a small and somewhat unrepresentative sample of FHA-insured loans.

Linguistic profiling occurs when people make judgments over the telephone about the character of the individual with whom they are talking. This study uses a logit model regression to determine if the race of a person searching for housing has any correlation with whether he or she is able to make an appointment over the phone. The data used for this analysis come from the Housing Discrimination Study (HDS) 2000 Phase I that was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which measured the patterns of racial and ethnic discrimination in urban housing markets across the United States through paired testing. HDS 2000 found statistically significant evidence that unacceptable levels of housing discrimination still persist across the nation. Although it is important to note that the paired tests used to measure levels of housing discrimination in HDS 2000 are based on the physical race of the tester and not whether the tester had a linguistic speech pattern commonly associated with a specific race or ethnicity, this research finds that there is little association between race and the ability to make an appointment over the phone. It was found that the predicted probability of making an appointment to inquire about a rental or sales unit is similar across racial and ethnic groups, varying slightly around 97 percent. These results suggest that while there may be minor differences among racial groups in the ability to make an appointment over the phone to inquire about a rental or sales housing unit, none of these differences are statistically significant. Although these initial findings indicate that linguistic profiling is probably not a major factor in measuring housing discrimination, it is crucial that further research be conducted in this area to more accurately determine whether and to what extent linguistic profiling affects levels of housing discrimination.

As of 2006, nearly 20 states have implemented smart growth-oriented directives, and many local and regional entities have also incorporated smart growth practices into their comprehensive master plans. As more states continue to grapple with ways to tackle urban sprawl, many of them have begun to experiment with various policy tools, such as urban growth boundaries, limitations on exclusionary zoning, and impact fees. This article traces the historical development of smart growth in the United States, looking at past state and local growth management policies that eventually led to the smart growth movement. The article then turns to a discussion on how smart growth policies have guided state and local governments in their challenge to mitigate the effects of urban sprawl. The article concludes by highlighting best practices and innovative approaches that governments at all levels have implemented to address various land use issues for the future.

What types of spending make the most difference? How does the effect of these expenditures on housing values compare to their effect on rents? Finally, do these effects change over time? These questions are investigated through an econometric analysis of housing values and rents in a national data set of metropolitan counties. A two-equation model is estimated using seemingly unrelated regression to enable contemporaneous correlation across the error terms. The initial model, containing per household total direct spending, is used to develop coefficients that are restricted in subsequent models so that alternative service expenditures and different time lags can be tested while holding all else constant. The findings suggest that police protection makes the most difference for owners and renters alike, with education and fire protection, respectively, being close seconds. Homeowners place greater weight on expenditures that affect exchange value, while renters place greater weight on factors that affect use value; and certain services have a more enduring effect than others. This article adds to the existing body of knowledge by linking a broad spectrum of public goods and services to the place-to-place cost of housing. Future research should focus on the connections between intermediate and final outputs from an interregional perspective and, as an extension, how they relate to the pace of economic growth and other measures of regional well-being.

The most popular housing assistance program--vouchers--implicitly assumes that housing problems could be solved if households only have the ability to pay. This approach, however, begs the question of whether the stock of rental housing is sufficient to house all renters at costs they can afford. This article uses American Housing Survey data to examine the distribution of housing supply relative to demand. We begin by naively assuming that we can assign housing to households on the basis of affordability and thereby identify the shortages and surpluses of rental units affordable to households in different income ranges. Next, we recognize that not all affordable units are available because of prior occupation by higher income renters. Finally, we restrict the discussion to units that are affordable, available, and adequate. We use this analytical framework to examine specific issues: the rental supply by income class, variation by location, the sufficiency of the Fair Market Rent standard, changes in housing supply over the period 1985 to 2003, and the relationship between supply and crowding. This paper is based on a chapter written for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's recent Affordable Housing Needs report.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enable policymakers and planners to overlay the impacted disaster areas over existing data sources to estimate the severity of the disaster on the area and to determine to what extent federal and local resources might be required to facilitate long-term recovery. GIS also enables policymakers to test the costs and benefits of policy options. In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) used GIS more extensively than it had for any previous disaster to calculate risk of housing damage to HUD-assisted and HUD-insured housing and to estimate actual damage to all housing in the affected states. This analysis was critical for making decisions about how many resources for long-term recovery to use and where to target those resources. The analysis has also been critical for local officials in their design of programs that address the long-term recovery needs in their communities.

The three-equation multiplicative model of population change, employment change, and land absorption is estimated using three-stage least squares to account for endogeneity among the dependent variables and contemporaneous correlation across the system of equations. In addition to the core model, alternative specifications are estimated, imposing the initial conditions of size, land availability, and economic structure. The stability of the solutions is then examined using reduced-form equations estimated via the seemingly unrelated regression equations approach. The results reveal substantive evidence that population and employment growth are jointly determined, of how the two affect the outcome of land development, and, perhaps most importantly, stable and fractionally reasonable estimates at projected equilibrium points. Lastly, the adapted model controlling for the initial condition of land availability is used to project patterns of land consumption at equilibrium in 50 rapid-growth metropolitan areas.

This research investigates the value of ambient water quality as measured by data from twenty-two monitoring stations located throughout a local watershed in Maryland; the St. Mary''s River watershed. A hedonic property value model is used to investigate the marginal implicit values of the following water quality variables: total suspended solids and dissolved inorganic nitrogen. The econometric results indicate the marginal implicit prices associated with a one milligram per liter change in total suspended solids and dissolved inorganic nitrogen, are $−1086 and $−17,642, respectively.

This empirical study examines two situations: one with both access benefits and negatives, and another without the access benefit. The findings reveal that proximity to the transit corridor alone without direct access conveys a negative impact on nearby housing values.

These results were compared to the analysis of the VB dust from 176 homes in the HUD, American Healthy Home Survey of homes in the US. The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) was calculated for each of the homes. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the ERMI values in the homes of the NC asthmatic children was 16.4 (6.77), compared to the HUD survey VB ERMI value mean and SD of 11.2 (6.72), and was significantly greater (t-test, p = 0.003) in the NC asthmatic children’s homes. The molds Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus fumigatus, and the Eurotium Group were the primary species in the NC homes of asthmatics, making the ERMI values significantly higher (p < 0.02 for each). Vacuum bag dust analysis may be a useful method for estimating the mold burden in a home.

Five milligrams of sieved dust was analyzed by mold-specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction for the 36 indicator species in 1096 samples. The researchers concluded that the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index scale may be useful for home mold-burden estimates in epidemiological studies particularly on the said illness.

AB - Homelessness and unstable housing have been associated with HIV risk behavior and poorer health among persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), yet prior research has not tested causal associations. This paper describes the challenges, methods, and baseline sample of the Housing and Health Study, a longitudinal, multi-site, randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of providing immediate rental housing assistance to PLWHA who were homeless or at severe risk of homelessness. Primary outcomes included HIV disease progression, medical care access and utilization, treatment adherence, mental and physical health, and risks of transmitting HIV. Across three study sites, 630 participants completed baseline sessions and were randomized to receive either immediate rental housing assistance (treatment group) or assistance finding housing according to local standard practice (comparison group). Baseline sessions included a questionnaire, a two-session HIV risk-reduction counseling intervention, and blood sample collection to measure CD4 counts and viral load levels. Three follow-up visits occurred at 6, 12, and 18 months after baseline. Participants were mostly male, Black, unmarried, low-income, and nearly half were between 40 and 49 years old. At 18 months, 84% of the baseline sample was retained. The retention rates demonstrate the feasibility of conducting scientifically rigorous housing research, and the baseline results provide important information regarding characteristics of this understudied population that can inform future HIV prevention and treatment efforts.

AB - The Housing and Health study examines the effects of permanent supportive housing for homeless and unstably housed persons living with HIV. While promising as an HIV prevention intervention, providing housing may be more expensive to deliver than some other HIV prevention services. Economic evaluation is needed to determine if investment in permanent supportive housing would be cost-saving or cost-effective. Here we ask--what is the per client cost of delivering the intervention, and how many HIV transmissions have to be averted in order to exceed the threshold needed to claim cost-savings or cost-effectiveness to society? Standard methods of cost and threshold analysis were employed. Payor perspective costs range from $9,256 to $11,651 per client per year; societal perspective costs range from $10,048 to $14,032 per client per year. Considering that averting a new case of HIV saves an estimated $221,365 in treatment costs, the average cost-saving threshold across the three study cities is 0.0555. Expressed another way, if just one out of every 19 Housing & Health intervention clients avoided HIV transmission to an HIV seronegative partner the intervention would be costsaving. The intervention would be cost-effective if it prevented just one HIV transmission for every 64 clients served.

The release of the 2005 American Community Survey (ACS) data posed several challenges for including these survey data in the estimation of these program parameters. This article discusses how HUD uses 2005 ACS data to establish Income Limits and FMRs. HUD encourages researchers to evaluate HUD's current use of the data and provide suggestions for incorporating the use of ACS data for smaller areas, when available, into these estimates.

Thus far the EPI has been used to estimate models of metropolitan statistical area employment demand and appears to capture exogenous demand shocks to the regional economy. This article explains the intuition behind and construction of the EPI. Glaeser (2008) has noted that because "the economic theory of cities emphasizes a search for exogenous causes of endogenous outcomes like local wages, housing prices, and city growth, it is unsurprising that the economic empirics on cities have increasingly focused on the quest for exogenous sources of variation." The EPI is such an exogenous cause.

Neighborhoods affected by foreclosures and long-term vacancy can affect the value of homes in surrounding neighborhoods, the quality of life within communities, and the overall local economy. In response to such concerns, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has developed spatial representations (maps) of the distribution of high-risk loans in various metropolitan areas. One such map, exhibit 1, represents Prince George's County, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. The map combines mortgage data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) with a relatively new vacancy data set from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).

The results indicate that borrowers who provide even modest downpayments from their own resources have substantially lower default propensities than do borrowers whose downpayments come from relatives, government agencies, or nonprofits. Borrowers with downpayments from seller-funded nonprofits, who make no downpayment at all, have the highest default rates. Eliminating FHA's 3% downpayment causes default to rise far beyond the simple effect of a 3% change in equity.

The results of the analysis suggest that (1) accounting for spatial interdependencies appreciably enhances the estimates; (2) with this correction, the viability of the three-equation framework used here seems strong; and (3) even as the nation's post-industrial economy continues along its path of decentralization, equilibrating forces work to maintain an uneven pattern of development characteristic of the well-known, hierarchical system of regional economies described by traditional forms of location and central place theory.

To find a solution, a household vacuum cleaner equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a dust finder indicator, and a "dry steam" cleaner previously reported effective in reducing dust mite allergens in carpets and mattresses were tested for effectiveness in reducing lead dust in carpets. Fifty homes of lead-exposed children were tested in New Jersey. A selected carpet in the living area of each home was tested with two interventions: half was cleaned by HEPA vacuuming twice (VAC-VAC) and the other half by dry steaming between the two HEPA vacuumings (VAC-DSC-VAC). Wipe and vacuum samples, representing surface dust and total dust collections, respectively, were taken before and after cleaning. The wipe and vacuum sample data indicated that both cleaning methods substantially reduced dust lead levels (p < 0.001). The mean percent reductions in lead loading were approximately 29% and 40% for the VAC-VAC and VAC-DSC-VAC interventions, respectively. The difference between the two postcleaning levels was statistically significant by wipe sampling (p = 0.038) but was marginally insignificant by vacuum sampling (p = 0.072). A subset of sample data collected before repeat vacuuming (VAC-DSC) suggested that repeat vacuuming after dry steam cleaning is unnecessary. In summary, slow and steady HEPA vacuuming with the help of a dust finder indicator reduces surface and overall lead dust in carpets, and dry steam cleaning further reduces surface lead contamination as compared with HEPA vacuuming alone.

It begins with the premise that regional development happens in two interconnected ways: via demand-induced growth, which is driven by economic opportunity, and supply-induced growth, which is driven by personal preference. The nature and spatial outcome of these mechanisms are investigated by estimating a series of three-equation regional adjustment models wherein changes in population density, employment density, and the average annual wage are endogenously determined. In order to account for spatial dependence in the development process, each model is specified with spatial lags of its three dependent variables and is estimated using a spatial two-stage least squares technique. The results of the analysis illustrate the evolving nature of metropolitan growth and yield insight into the land use patterns that it produces. Resumen. Este artículo examina el proceso de crecimiento y cambio en la constelación norteamericana de áreas metropolitanas. Comienza bajo la premisa de que el desarrollo regional ocurre de dos maneras interconectadas: por un crecimiento inducido por la demanda, el cual esta impulsado por la oportunidad económica, y por un crecimiento inducido por la oferta, el cual está impulsado por las preferencias personales. La naturaleza y resultado espacial de esos mecanismos son investigados mediante la estimación de una serie de modelos de ajuste regional de tres ecuaciones donde los cambios en la densidad de población, la densidad de empleo y el salario promedio anual están determinados endógenamente. Para poder tener en cuenta la dependencia espacial en el proceso de desarrollo, cada modelo especifica intervalos espaciales de sus tres variables dependientes y es estimado mediante un procedimiento espacial de mínimos cuadrados en dos etapas. Los resultados del análisis muestran la naturaleza evolutiva del crecimiento metropolitano y aportan conocimiento sobre los modelos de uso del suelo que produce.

Do low-density, spatially extensive land use patterns cost more to support? If so, how large an influence does sprawl actually have? How does the influence differ among types of spending? And, how does it compare with the influence of other relevant factors? The analysis, which is based on the entire continental US and uses a series of spatial econometric models to evaluate one aggregate (total direct) and nine disaggregate (education, fire protection, housing and community development, libraries, parks and recreation, police protection, roadways, sewerage, and solid waste disposal) measures of spending, provides the most detailed evidence to date of how sprawl affects the vast sum of revenue that local governments spend every year.

The LIHTC is allocated in fixed amounts each year by state agencies, and provides an investment tax incentive for the production of rental housing with rents limited to percentages of HUD-specified Income Limits based on HUD-estimated area median family income. One inherent difficulty in the LIHTC not present in direct rental housing subsidy programs is that the subsidy amount is determined before the housing project begins operation, and there is no mechanism for ex-post adjustment to reflect, e.g., increasing operating cost, increasing tenant utility allowances (which reduce rent revenue) when energy costs spike relative to income, or declining area median income. Direct subsidy programs for rental housing, such as HUD's Public Housing and Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher programs, adjust subsidy to changes in operating cost and tenant income either directly or indirectly (through connection to actual operating expenses or market rents). HUD uses a hold-harmless policy in setting its Income Limits for subsidy programs to accommodate this problem with the LIHTC, even though this tends to inflate the population eligible for HUD programs. Recent changes to HUD's Income Limits methodology, however, show that the hold-harmless policy may not be enough to keep LIHTC projects operating. We discuss legislative policy options for ensuring LIHTC projects can continue to operate in these situations while maintaining affordability.

Our context is the U.S. public health goal to eliminate pediatric elevated blood lead levels (EBLs) by 2010. DATA SOURCES: National, state, and local exposure assessments over the past half century have identified risk factors for EBLs among U.S. children, including age, race, income, age and location of housing, parental occupation, and season. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Recent national policies have greatly reduced lead exposure among U.S. children, but even very low exposure levels compromise children's later intellectual development and lifetime achievement. No threshold for these effects has been demonstrated. Although lead paint and dust may still account for up to 70% of EBLs in U.S. children, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that ≥ 30% of current EBLs do not have an immediate lead paint source, and numerous studies indicate that lead exposures result from multiple sources. EBLs and even deaths have been associated with inadequately controlled sources including ethnic remedies and goods, consumer products, and food-related items such as ceramics. Lead in public drinking water and in older urban centers remain exposure sources in many areas. CONCLUSIONS: Achieving the 2010 goal requires maintaining current efforts, especially programs addressing lead paint, while developing interventions that prevent exposure before children are poisoned. It also requires active collaboration across all levels of government to identify and control all potential sources of lead exposure, as well as primary prevention.

Many of the most restrictive barriers are exclusionary zoning regulations that are permitted under state-enabling legislation and adopted at the local level. The articles in the symposium challenge traditional assumptions about the costs of urban sprawl, the resistance involved in the contemporary planning and review process, and the success and failure of programs that seek to provide solutions to the housing and transportation crises. Many state and local governments recognize the need for more affordable housing. In addition to raising awareness of this issue among fellow citizens through community organizing, our governing partners at the state and local levels have come to believe that restrictive local regulations are part of the problem.

Wood frame construction has served the homebuilding community well, but alternatives are beginning to capture market share. One alternative, structural insulated panels, provides energy efficiency and structural strength advantages over conventional wood frame construction.

The transfer of markups from firms charging excessive fees to consumers has been estimated to be approximately $670 per loan (a total of $8.35 billion) but could be as high as $1,200 per loan. This transfer of economic surplus will not occur without some costs to industry. We estimate a potential $571 million of one-time adjustment costs. Although it is imaginable that the annual compliance costs of the rule are close to zero, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has assumed significant costs, ranging from $50 to $74 per loan.

Certain borrowers facing difficulties with their mortgages are eligible to refinance into FHA-insured mortgages. The benefit of the program is the prevention of foreclosures, which have associated economic costs on the foreclosed-on household, lenders, neighboring properties, and the local government. The cost of the HOPE for Homeowners program to the taxpayer is the subsidy paid to the FHA to cover the cost of the credit guarantee not covered by program revenues. We estimate the expected net benefit of the program to range from $6,200 to $35,500 per refinancing. Thus, with only 10,000 participants annually, the program will generate $62 million to $355 million of net benefits to society. Program participation could be as high as 100,000 annually, however, with commensurately higher benefits.

This construction method can be refined to consume less material, cost less, and provide greater energy efficiency through the application of concepts collectively called Optimum Value Engineering (OVE). OVE techniques identify inefficiencies in the design and framing of a home, yielding a project that provides the necessary strength and performance more affordably.

To mitigate the issue, HUD issued a final rule on rent and income determination in assisted housing. Assuming the rule is 100-percent effective in eliminating earned-income-based rent errors, if no oversubsidized tenants left in response to rent increases based on correct determination of earned income, then the net transfer to new tenants would be about $480 million a year, resulting in about 92,000 new tenants served. At the other extreme, if all households that were oversubsidized due to earned-income error left HUD-assisted housing in response to rent corrections under the rule, the transfer to new tenants would amount to about $1.72 billion a year (a figure that includes the subsidies they are properly entitled to under the law), resulting in about 337,000 new tenants served. The rule is unlikely to be 100-percent effective, however. The corrective actions of income and rent discrepancies may not necessarily lead to a reduction in subsidy; they could, in fact, lead to an increase in program funding needed to maintain the number of households served by the program if formerly oversubsidized households withdraw from the programs and are replaced by households with incomes still lower than theirs.

In this article, we propose that the processes of employer recruitment and selection, employee self-selection, cultural socialization, and reward systems help create extended work hours cultures (EWHC) that reinforce these trends. Moreover, we argue that EWHC organizations are becoming more prevalent and that organizations in which long hours have become the norm may recruit for and reinforce workaholic tendencies. Next, we offer spiritual leadership as a paradigm for organizational transformation and recovery from the negative aspects of EWHC to enhance employee well-being and corporate social responsibility without sacrificing profitability, revenue growth, and other indicators of financial performance. Finally, we will offer suggestions for future theory, research, and practice.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine how floor dust lead (PbD) loadings and other housing factors influence childhood blood lead (PbB) levels and lead poisoning. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 1999--2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), including 2,155 children 12--60 months of age with PbB and PbD measurements. We used linear and logistic regression models to predict log-transformed PbB and the odds that PbB was ≥ 5 and ≥ 10 µg/dL at a range of floor PbD. RESULTS: The population-weighted geometric mean (GM) PbB was 2.0 µg/dL (geometric standard error = 1.0). Age of child, race/ethnicity, serum cotinine concentration, poverty-to-income ratio, country of birth, year of building construction, floor PbD by floor surface and condition, windowsill PbD, presence of deteriorated paint, home-apartment type, smoking in the home, and recent renovation were significant predictors in either the linear model [the proportion of variability in the dependent variable accounted for by the model (R2) = 40%] or logistic model for 10 µg/dL (R2 = 5%). At floor PbD = 12 µg/ft2, the models predict that 4.6% of children living in homes constructed before 1978 have PbB ≥ 10 µg/dL, 27% have PbB ≥ 5 µg/dL, and the GM PbB is 3.9 µg/dL. CONCLUSIONS: Lowering the floor PbD standard below the current standard of 40 µg/ft2 would protect more children from elevated PbB.

The complexity of financial modelling typically requires deployment of multiple financial analytics packages, drawing data from multiple source systems. Business domain experts are typically needed to understand the data requirements of these packages. Financial product innovation and research advances imply that data requirements are chronically unstable. These forces of complexity and instability motivate a software architecture that exposes financial metadata declaratively, thus allowing on-the-fly metadata modifications by domain experts, without provoking a costly design-develop-test-deploy life cycle.

Multistage sampling with clustering was used to select the 1131 homes of which a subset of 500 randomly selected homes included the collection of hard surface floor wipes. Samples were collected by trained field technicians between June 2005 and March 2006 using isopropanol wetted wipes. Samples were analyzed for a suite of 24 compounds which included insecticides in the organochlorine, organophosphate, pyrethroid and phenylpyrazole classes, and the insecticide synergist piperonyl butoxide. The most commonly detected were permethrin (89%), chlorpyrifos (78%), chlordane (64%), piperonyl butoxide (52%), cypermethrin (46%), and fipronil (40%). Mean and geometric mean (GM) concentrations varied widely among compounds, but were highest for trans-permethrin (mean 2.22 ng/cm² and GM 0.14 ng/ cm²) and cypermethrin (mean 2.9 ng/cm² and GM 0.03 ng/ cm²). Results show that most floors in occupied homes in the U.S. have measurable levels of insecticides that may serve as sources of exposure to occupants.

We examine the level of country-specific research and development (R spending by foreign affiliates of US-owned multinational companies between 1989 and 2003 as a function of whether the country has adopted two of the major patent protection regulations required by TRIPS--patent protection for a duration of twenty years and patent protection for pharmaceuticals. Results from the regression analysis suggest that providing a patent protection duration of twenty years positively impacts the R&D spending while providing patent protection for pharmaceuticals does not impact it. As such, pharmaceutical patent protection should be enforced in a case-by-case manner, whereas twenty-year patent protection should be broadly undertaken.

This study measured subjective neighborhood quality using data from two sources: (1) the 2002 American Housing Survey (AHS) and (2) the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSS) of Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) households. Survey responses were analyzed regarding neighborhood quality, home quality, and crime perceptions. Tract-level Bayesian estimates were computed using AHS metropolitan-level data and CSS census tract data. The new Bayesian estimates have fewer outliers than the original CSS data, and the use of prior information allows for estimation for tracts with lower sample sizes than would be practical to estimate using only CSS data. I compared the CSS and Bayesian estimates with other measures of neighborhood quality, such as poverty rates, median income, and indicators for tracts receiving low-income housing tax credits. The CSS and Bayesian indicators are highly correlated, and both the CSS and Bayesian estimates correlate well with the auxiliary variables used in this study. For tracts with large differences between the CSS and Bayesian estimates, correlations are much stronger for the Bayesian estimates.

In the Notice "Federal Housing Administration Risk Management Initiatives: Reduction of Seller Concessions and New Loan-to-Value and Credit Score Requirements," FHA proposes to tighten portions of its underwriting guidelines that present an excessive level of risk to both homeowners and FHA. The benefit of the set of actions outlined in the Notice will reduce the net losses resulting from high rates of insurance claims on affected loans, and the cost of the action will be the value of the loan opportunity denied to the excluded borrowers. The total transfer to FHA would be $96 million, and the net cost of excluding borrowers could be as high as $85 million.

This product is a robust data source of 40 million mortgage loans with ZIP Code geographic detail. It includes more than 70 loan attributes, credit scores, and foreclosure status. The ability to identify and track loans in foreclosure and calculate foreclosure rates at various geographic levels can lead to powerful knowledge for all parties involved in community development and housing policy. To illustrate the geographic concentration and extent of social and economic distress resulting from the current housing crisis in the map of the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area in exhibit 1, we connect this mortgage data with U.S. Postal Service (USPS) data on vacant addresses.

HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research conducted a regulatory impact analysis of the Department's proposed formula rule, assuming a hypothetical congressional appropriation of $1 billion for the HTF. The analysis summarized the Department's approach to weighting various statutory factors of housing need and recognized distributional implications for states. The primary impact was determined to be a transfer from the federal government to states in an amount equal to the appropriation. A number of economic factors are not considered in this determination, but it is not clear that the data or capacity exists to examine such factors. This article updates the impact analysis using recent data and incorporates several corrections.

The analysis demonstrates that the ‘spatial hazard’ framework is not only viable for studying urban form, but is extremely promising: the models do an excellent job of characterizing very different patterns of development, and they lend themselves directly to the kind of probative analysis needed to guide urban and regional policy. Compared to more traditional approaches to characterizing urban form – namely, density gradients – hazard models rest on a probabilistic worldview, and, so, they portray the built environment as a froth of stochastic transitions through which urban form unfolds in an irregular fashion until it at last comes undone. Several general conclusions and directions for future research follow from these findings.

AB - The Collaborative Initiative to Help End Chronic Homelessness was a coordinated effort by the US Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Veterans Affairs (VA), and the US Interagency Council on Homelessness to house and provide comprehensive supportive services to individuals with serious psychiatric, substance use, health, and related disabilities who were experiencing long-term chronic homelessness. Eleven communities received 3-year grants from HHS and VA (2003–2006) and up to 5-year grants from HUD (2003–2008) to implement the initiative. This article provides background on chronic homelessness, describes the federal collaboration to comprehensively address chronic homelessness, and introduces the seven articles in this special issue that describe the findings and lessons learned from the participating communities in addressing chronic homelessness. Collectively, these articles offer insight into the challenges and benefits of providing housing and services to individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.

AB - Homelessness affects HIV risk and health, but little is known about the longitudinal effects of rental assistance on the housing status and health of homeless and unstably housed people living with HIV/AIDS. Homeless/unstably housed people living with HIV/AIDS (N = 630) were randomly assigned to immediate Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) rental assistance or customary care. Self-reported data, CD4, and HIV viral load were collected at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. Results showed that housing status improved in both groups, with greater improvement occurring in the treatment group. At 18 months, 51% of the comparison group had their own housing, limiting statistical power. Intent-to-treat analyses demonstrated significant reductions in medical care utilization and improvements in self-reported physical and mental health; significant differential change benefiting the treatment group was observed for depression and perceived stress. Significant differences between homeless and stably housed participants were found in as-treated analyses for health care utilization, mental health, and physical health. HOPWA rental assistance improves housing status and, in some cases, health outcomes of homeless and unstably housed people living with HIV/AIDS.

For one-third of American households, this expense is not a monthly mortgage payment to a lender, but rather a monthly rent payment to a landlord. Rental housing is the typical tenure choice for the young, the elderly, the disabled, people in highly mobile professional sectors, and low-wage working families, it is also likely to be an important alternative--at least in the short term--for many of the millions of families uprooted by the foreclosure crisis. In light of the potential increased role of rental housing as a tenure option, this article attempts to (1) describe key facts and trends in the affordability of rental housing for low- and moderate-income renters from 1990 through the recession of the late 2000s and (2) examine early evidence on the effects of the recession and foreclosure crisis on rental housing affordability. Although Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Policy Development and Research (HUD PD&R) have made important empirical contributions to the understanding of rental housing affordability trends during the past two decades, few studies have analyzed both national level and metropolitan level rental housing affordability dynamics. This article is intended to provide a data-rich update on rental housing market dynamics at both the national and metropolitan levels, drawing on a variety of data sources to provide a more nuanced picture of housing trends and needs. The content is organized as follows: the first section, Renter Income Trends, analyzes trends in renter incomes at the national and metropolitan levels since 1990; the second section, Rent Trends, describes rent trends from 1990 through 2009; and the third section, Affordable Rental Housing Stock Trends, examines trends in rental housing affordability, as measured by rent burdens and affordable supply gap.

At the outset, the implementation of the rule would not affect the federal budget but, over time, would have the potential of creating substantial financial flows and transfers for housing authorities and local economies. Although it is difficult to quantify the tangible benefits to the various stakeholders, it is possible to identify and quantify most of the costs.

The single proportion method, however, does not provide a context for understanding the social or economic conditions that interact with the pattern. This article is the second of two that examines segregation at the regional level. The previous article (Wilson, 2011) shows how to map two racial groups simultaneously to provide a comparative context for integration and regional segregation. The purpose of the analysis in this article is to move the reader beyond examining segregation with a single percentage map of one racial group without some comparative context. Not providing a comparison allows a reader to be misguided as to whether real problems exist. This article recasts the analysis of segregation to the interaction of the economic context with geographic patterns of segregation.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) responded to the directive with PowerSaver, a program in which the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers insurance for home improvement loans to finance improvements that foster lower energy consumption. The FHA guarantee will motivate both lenders and loan investors to participate in financing energy-efficient improvements and to create a secondary market.

The objective of this study was to quantify and describe the distribution of the 36 molds thatmake up the Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI). Materials and Methods. As part of the 2006 American Healthy Homes Survey, settled dust samples were analyzed by mold-specific quantitative PCR (MSQPCR) for the 36 ERMI molds. Each species' geographical distribution pattern was examined individually, followed by partitioning analysis in order to identify spatially meaningful patterns. For mapping, the 36 mold populations were divided into disjoint clusters on the basis of their standardized concentrations, and First Principal Component (FPC) scores were computed. Results and Conclusions. The partitioning analyses failed to uncover a valid partitioning that yielded compact, well-separated partitions with systematic spatial distributions, either on global or local criteria. Disjoint variable clustering resulted in seven mold clusters. The 36 molds and ERMI values themselves were found to be heterogeneously distributed across the United States of America (USA).

Unfortunately, empirical research into this relationship has been hampered by the lack of identifying information due to the endogeneity of factors affecting both central city and suburban growth. This paper resolves the identification problem by constructing an index that measures price shocks to export industries located in either center cities or their suburbs. The results indicate that positive export industry price shocks to one area have a positive spillover effect on the other. Interestingly, the cross-elasticity of suburban employment with respect to center city employment (1.18) significantly exceeds the cross-elasticity of central city employment with respect to suburban employment (0.24).

The level of aggregation of data inputs is varied and the effect of using both Euclidean and street network distances is tested. It is found that, regardless of the level of geographical disaggregation, distance-based measures generate approximately the same conclusions about the distribution of food access in the area. It is also found that, while the relationship between street network and Euclidean distances varies with population density, measures computed with either construct generate the same relative patterns of food access. These findings suggest that results from food access studies employing disparate methodologies can often be compared.

AB - With event history analysis, we examine the impact of gender, marital status and spouse type, and parenting at key transition points in the early careers of more than 2,000 social science Ph.D. graduates. This analysis (a) uses data from recent Ph.D. graduates; (b) disentangles the effects of marriage and parenting; and (c) observes the effects of different marriage configurations. Results suggest that the negative impacts of motherhood and marriage on women's careers are diminishing, but that for men fatherhood and marriage are beneficial. Most importantly, marriage to a less-educated spouse is associated with significant career advantages for men; however, women do not realize similar benefits from this type of marriage.

A documentary review and interviews with the principals at national grant and policy-making organizations are undertaken to deconstruct this outcome measurement impasse. Basic criteria for an analytical framework to measure community development outcomes are suggested both to clarify the current institutional mindset and suggest an alternative approach. Available empirical data from practitioner interviews and existing social theory provide the basis for a conceptual understanding and an analytical framework to guide the systematic evaluation of community development initiatives.

The American Housing Survey (AHS) provides the only data available to compare subjective housing and neighborhood quality assessments in HUD's largest rental assistance programs. Quality comparisons based on AHS data are problematic because the AHS overrepresents public housing and underrepresents the HCVP. HUD administrative data, however, are an excellent source of prior information for the expected proportion of households in public housing. In this study, I explore Bayesian methods using prior information on variables such as income and rents to estimate propensity scores for program participation. I then use the Bayesian propensity scores to improve the reliability of AHS-based quality comparisons. Results indicate that, after adjusting for program participation propensities, little difference exists in AHS household and neighborhood quality ratings between public housing and voucher households.

The Office of Policy Development and Research performs this analysis for all U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules. An impact analysis is a forecast of the annual benefits and costs accruing to all parties, including the taxpayers, from a given regulation. Modeling these benefits and costs involves use of past research findings, application of economic principles, empirical investigation, and professional judgment.

Many analyses of voucher-holder settlement patterns employ some areal unit in which counts are divided by unit area to calculate a density. This approach has methodological problems and produces less-than-accurate results because it does not directly measure the locations of voucher holders. In this article, I show how to apply a technique, known as dual kernel density estimation, to measure directly the concentration of voucher-holder locations to produce more accurate results about where voucher holders have concentrated and deconcentrated over time.

Many cities in this region are implementing sustainable development policies and practices to balance economic growth, quality of life, and environmental protection. As part of a research project examining best practices of sustainable communities in the Asia-Pacific region, we chose Adelaide, Australia, as one of six case study cities. This article introduces the larger project and summarizes the Adelaide case study. We also present key lessons learned during the research process and suggest next steps for further exploration of this topic.

Cresting at 10 percent, the unemployment rate coincided with one of the most serious economic downturns in U.S. history. State governments respond to unemployment by providing compensation through insurance. Unemployment insurance comes from state-managed funding that provides monetary compensation to workers who have suffered job loss. Unemployment compensation acts as a stabilizer for both family incomes and local economies. Individual state policies affect unemployment compensation amounts and eligibility. Unemployment compensation, then, may have geographic patterns that differ from unemployment rates and reveal the extent to which states are attempting to buffer the fallout from unemployment.

The proposed rule would yield intangible benefits to program participants and, if successful, increase financial transfers between PHAs. The regulatory action would not be economically significant under Executive Order 12866 and Office of Management and Budget Circular A-4, however, because the aggregate financial impact is far less than the $100 million annual threshold.

Researchers have applied varying definitions of food deserts, however, making generalizations problematic. We use GIS methods to examine the congruence and coverage of different definitions for Portland, Oregon. Each identifies somewhat different neighborhoods as food deserts, with none accounting for the majority of socioeconomically vulnerable populations living with low food access. To supplement, we introduce the concept of the food hinterland—home to a significant share of the vulnerable population living with low food access.

JO - International Regional Science Review JF - International Regional Science Review Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 35 IS - 3 M3 - Article SP - 267 EP - 302 AB - This article examines the ability of proportional hazard models to evaluate changes in land use through time. There are three specific objectives: (a) to review previous research on the complexity of urbanization and explain how the spatial hazard framework accommodates that complexity; (b); to estimate a series of spatial hazard models characterizing land use in the twenty-five highest growth core-based statistical areas (CBSAs) of the United States in 1990, 2000, and 2006; and (c) to use the estimation results to track land use change region-by-region over the 16-year time frame. Overall, the analysis reveals that the spatial hazard framework offers a highly effective means of describing land use change. Along the way, it also illustrates that the classic model of urbanization continues to hold in an evermore-complex world—albeit, in an explicitly uncertain and inherently probabilistic manner.

Effects of these policies have been analyzed using numerical urban simulation models. At the same time, the US Energy Information Administration's Residential Energy Consumption Survey has allowed researchers to investigate the relation between household energy consumption and characteristics of housing units. This paper links these two lines of inquiry by demonstrating how simulation results on the implications of land use and transportation policies for the spatial form of cities can be used to compute implications for energy consumption. The resulting Urban Energy Footprint Model, "UEFM," allows one to trace the implications of a change in land use zoning or transportation policy through its effects on housing markets and residential location to the resulting changes in energy use for residential and commuting purposes--i.e., to understand the energy footprint of transportation, housing, and land use policies. Accordingly, the UEFM provides, perhaps for the first time, a link between urban and energy economics, and can allow measurement of rebound effects of energy policies in a more general equilibrium context.

AB - Prior research indicates that mandatory disclaimers increase consumer confusion and lead to inferior decisions. The authors examine the implications of these findings in the context of mandatory disclosures required by federal law for mortgage loan transactions. Research suggests that consumers can be confused when too much information is presented or disclosure information is too complex but falls short of concluding that all mandatory disclaimers increase consumer confusion and lead to inferior decisions. The literature lacks conclusive evidence of the effects of disclosures on decisions and outcomes, such as loan choice or performance, and research examining the role of disclosures in light of other social, contextual, or informational influences is scarce. Longitudinal, experimental evidence that controls for these factors is necessary to examine the effects of disclosures on decision quality. Better-designed research in this area could lead to significant improvements in public policy and consumer protection and result in a more efficient allocation of public resources.

A key component of the Obama Administration's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) was the development of a standardized Net Present Value (NPV) Model to identify troubled loans that were value-enhancing candidates for payment-reducing modifications. This article discusses the development of the HAMP NPV Model,1 its purpose and some important constraints that dictated its structure and limitations. We describe the structure and the estimation of the model in detail. We also describe the responsiveness of the model to key characteristics, such as loan-to-value and credit score, as well as provide new evidence on the relationship between HAMP modification performance and key borrower and modification characteristics. The article concludes with a discussion of model limitations and the future role of systematic loan modification using NPV analysis.

I use a near-repeat analysis method in this analysis for Dallas, Texas, to test whether new voucher recipients concentrate and, if so, how quickly. The results reveal that new recipients do locate in close proximity to each other at a steady pace over time. PHAs can use this method and subsequent results to measure the progress of deconcentration plans and to help new housing voucher recipients make more informed choices about where to locate.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) currently publishes a single FMR for each HUD metropolitan FMR area. To provide program participants with wider access to opportunity areas, the Department developed Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs). SAFMRs represent a fundamentally different way of operating the HCVP in metropolitan areas; therefore, HUD is testing SAFMRs through a demonstration program to better understand the programmatic effects.

While several studies examine individual- and community-level predictors of high-cost lending, little research has tested for the possible causal effect of racial segregation. Using two-stage least squares statistical models, we find evidence that even after controlling for percentage minority, poverty, unemployment, low credit scores, home value escalation, and bank branch accessibility, black/white segregation is a significant predictor of the proportion of subprime loans originated in the largest 200 U.S. metropolitan areas. We also find that increased black education levels are important protective factors, while greater shares of mortgages originated by independent mortgage companies increase the risk for subprime lending. We find no evidence for an effect of Hispanic/white segregation on subprime lending. This research suggests that policy initiatives aimed at limiting high-cost lending should address the context of black/white segregation, education, and financial reform.

JO - Journal of Asthma JF - Journal of Asthma Y1 - 2013/03// VL - 50 IS - 2 M3 - Article SP - 155 EP - 161 SN - 02770903 AB - Objective. Mold in water-damaged homes has been linked to asthma. Our objective was to test a new metric to quantify mold exposures in asthmatic children's homes in three widely dispersed cities in the United States. Methods. The Environmental Relative Moldiness Index (ERMI) metric was created by the US Environmental Protection Agency, with assistance by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to quantify mold contamination in US homes. The ERMI values in homes of asthmatic children were determined for the three widely dispersed cities of Boston, Kansas City, and San Diego. Results. Asthmatic children in Boston ( n = 76), Kansas City ( n = 60), and San Diego ( n = 93) were found to be living in homes with significantly higher ERMI values than were found in homes randomly selected during the 2006 HUD American Healthy Homes Survey (AHHS) from the same geographic areas ( n = 34, 22, and 28, respectively). Taken together, the average ERMI value in the homes with an asthmatic child was 8.73 compared to 3.87 for the AHHS homes. In addition, Kansas City homes of children with 'Mild, Moderate, or Severe Persistent Asthma' had average ERMI value of 12.4 compared to 7.9 for homes of children with only 'Mild Intermittent Asthma.' Aspergillus niger was the only mold of the 36 tested which was measured in significantly greater concentration in the homes of asthmatic children in all three cities. Conclusion. High ERMI values were associated with homes of asthmatic children in three widely dispersed cities in the United States.

This study demonstrates the capitalization of high school football championships into school district property values using a model that controls for a series of fixed effects. Winning a state football championship increases property values by 1.65% in the year following the championship, exerting its strongest effect immediately after the championship is won. The effect is biggest in the AA division; the largest and most competitive division.

At the core of these disruptive changes is digitally enabled generativity. In this paper, I argue that scholars must offer new theoretical models and insights that guide management practices in the age of generativity that can extend, or perhaps supplant, the prevailing emphasis on modularity. To that end, I suggest that information systems scholars must attend explicitly to the generative materiality of digital artifacts by drawing on the sociomaterial perspective, which has emerged as a robust intellectual tradition of the IS community. This paper is a provocation for those IS scholars who are willing to stretch the boundaries of their intellectual imagination beyond the comfort of IS journals and conferences, and offers a promising path forward.

AB - We present a cost-utility analysis based on data from the Housing and Health (H&H) Study of rental assistance for homeless and unstably housed persons living with HIV in Baltimore, Chicago and Los Angeles. As-treated analyses found favorable associations of housing with HIV viral load, emergency room use, and perceived stress (an outcome that can be quantitatively linked to quality of life). We combined these outcome data with information on intervention costs to estimate the cost-per-quality-adjusted-life-year (QALY) saved. We estimate that the cost-per-QALY-saved by the HIV-related housing services is $62,493. These services compare favorably (in terms of cost-effectiveness) to other well-accepted medical and public health services.

The purpose of this study is to bring further evidence to the voucher-crime debate, using annual data from 2000 to 2009 for Charlotte-Mecklenburg County. We study the relationship between crime counts and housing vouchers with quantile regression models with year and census tract fixed effects. We found that voucher households are associated with increased crime, controlling for past crime levels. Estimates vary, however, with the concentration of vouchers in the neighborhood, with little impact in areas with low concentrations. Estimates also vary with the neighborhood crime level. We extend the literature by examining the effect of different voucher family types, finding no evidence that elderly households or nonelderly households without disabilities and without children are associated with more crime. However, we found a very significant positive association for nonelderly households without disabilities with children. Our results indicate that significant crime reductions could be accomplished by focusing U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, local housing agency, and criminal justice resources on the types of places and voucher families most at risk for crime problems when a family uses a voucher to move into a new neighborhood.

AB - 'Piggybacking credit' is a new practice that helps consumers improve their credit scores by paying to become 'authorized users' on established accounts. Authorized users are not liable for paying an account, but because of Regulation B (which implements the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act), the account's history factors into their credit scores. As a result piggybacking can be used to manipulate the signal of creditworthiness that scores provide and may help borrowers obtain credit for which they would not have otherwise qualified. This article investigates the policy questions raised by piggybacking. First, we evaluate whether the credit history disparities that motivated these provisions of Regulation B have persisted since they were written. Then, we assess the potential for score improvement through piggybacking. Finally, we evaluate the likely score effects of allowing credit scoring models to exclude authorized‐user accounts, the most widely proposed policy response to the emergence of piggybacking.

Lead levels were measured in settled dust, paint, and play area soil; indoor allergen levels were measured in settled dust; and pesticide residues were measured on indoor surfaces and in play area soil. Fourteen percent of centers had significant lead hazards, suggesting that an estimated 470,000 children under age six (approximately 10% of all children in licensed centers) attend centers with significant lead hazards. Approximately 5% of centers had levels of allergens associated with asthma and allergic conditions. Three-quarters of centers had pesticides applied (either indoors or outdoors) during the previous year. Although most centers did not appear to present risks from lead and allergens, some centers did have unsafe levels of these contaminants. These conclusions cannot be generalized to unlicensed child care arrangements.

AB - While a recent analysis of unionization among Florida county sheriff deputies was informative, that study failed to provide a comprehensive picture of all law enforcement unionization activity in that state. More specifically, county sheriff offices account for only 20 % of all local law enforcement agencies in the state, represent approximately half the sworn personnel in Florida, and have only been engaged in collective bargaining for the past ten years. As a result, the present study incorporates municipal police agencies, a hitherto neglected portion of the Florida law enforcement community, in an effort to gain a fuller understanding of how unionization influences salaries and other job conditions. The results underscore the importance of adopting a broader orientation to understand the progression of collective bargaining objectives.

Amid growing recommendations for rental sector interventions in South America, at the start of the 2014, Chile was the first country in South America to adopt a national rental subsidy program--one aimed at making rental housing more affordable to low- and moderate-income young families. This article presents an overview of Chile's rental program and its relevance for U.S. rental subsidy reform. Chile's program consists of a flat-rate, time-limited subsidy that offers a degree of administrative simplicity and payment flexibility for tenants facing income volatility. In the United States, policymakers have flirted with building these program elements into the United States' longstanding Housing Choice Voucher Program. Although the Chilean and U.S. rental subsidy models operate within different contexts, as discussed in the article, a close examination of Chile's implementation and outcomes has the potential to inform U.S. rental housing policy reform. The authors also address the unique opportunity for monitoring and evaluation offered by Chile's program.

The CHAS data combine ACS microdata with HUD-adjusted Median Family Incomes to create estimates of the number of households that would qualify for HUD assistance. Using these data, the author estimates the number of rental units and ownership units that would be affordable to prototypical households at specified income levels.

I demonstrate a method for statistical inference using the Theil index based on asymptotic results, focusing mainly on testing for across-state differences. Estimates reveal large differences across states in the spatial mismatch between homeless resources and homeless populations. Simulations indicated that state inferences are better for states that have a relatively larger estimated spatial mismatch and relatively larger total count of beds available to shelter the homeless.

We assemble an index of community development need from a variety of demographic and economic indicators which capture the components of need that can be addressed directly by the CDBG program based on its statutory objectives. We use this index to estimate the relation between funding levels and community development need and how this relation has changed over time. In particular, we assess the effectiveness of targeting by examining the horizontal and vertical equity of the formula. Results suggest that the relation between the formula data inputs and community development need has deteriorated over the past two decades.

Finally, we consider several alternative formula specifications, which we evaluate against the community development needs index.

The model is predictive of rent burden with program tenure, using longitudinal household data for 2000 through 2009. The results indicate rent burden increases for many years after admission. Consistent with results for unassisted low-income households, there is considerable mobility across burden categories over time. The rent burden formula indicates that HUD policy and housing agency policy should not be considered in isolation; estimates imply that their interaction has an effect large in both magnitude and statistical significance. A limitation of the Markov chain model is that it cannot be used to estimate variance; I demonstrate a simple method for doing so via bootstrapping.

These interest rate shocks can be readily linked to movements in other key risk factors, and used to measure market risk on institutions with large fixed-income portfolios. Design/methodology/approach--Using yield curve factorization, we parameterize a time series of historical yield curves and measure interest rate shocks as the historical change in each of the model's factors. We then demonstrate how to add these parameterized shocks to any market environment, while retaining positive rates and plausible credit spreads. Given a set of shocked interest rate curves, joint risk factor movements are calculated based upon historical, reduced form dependencies. Findings--Our approach is based upon yield curve parameterization and requires a parsimonious yet flexible factorization model. In the process of selecting a model, we evaluate three variants of the Nelson-Siegel approach to yield curve approximation and find that, in the current low interest rate environment, a 5-factor parameterization developed by Bjork and Christensen (1999) is best suited for accurately translating historical interest rate movements into plausible, current period shocks.

We examine empirical associations between funding by several U.S. government programs and six measures of subsequent economic outcomes, for nonmetropolitan U.S. counties during the 1990s. Significant differences emerge across programs and performance measures. The results suggest a need to compare policy objectives with acceptable costs in some cases. Overall, the results are consistent with theoretical predictions and with several standard policy objectives.

We find that per-pupil spending increases by 25.2 percent in the first year, where it remains. We also find a substantial decrease in graduation rates, but an improving trend occurs in the years after the closure.

The magnitude and scope of their responsibilities and obligations under GPRMA have led some agencies either to create senior performance councils or to modify the role of existing councils to manage more effectively their goals and objectives, within the cultural constraints and unique leadership styles of each agency. This study analyzes a select number of agency senior performance councils, focusing on how they help agencies to accomplish the requirements of GPRMA, achieve goals and objectives, and address an array of emerging organizational performance needs. The experience of these agencies provides several recommendations and promising practices that other agencies could replicate or modify to fit their unique organizational structures and operations.

This broadly defined, but often misunderstood designation has exerted a negative and unintended effect on low-income neighborhoods-the same neighborhoods NCLB was originally intended to help. Specifically, we find that 'failing' designations significantly decrease home prices. This property value response is observed even after controlling for a myriad of traditional test score measures and school-level student demographics. Additional analyses suggest that this home price effect is largely due to strong perceptions of poor school quality or social stigma surrounding a 'failing' designation.

Along with the AFFH database, HUD is providing a geospatial tool to generate a series of maps of tables with the AFFH data. Both the tool and database provide a new means for HUD program participants, researchers, and the public to assess neighborhood opportunity on a national basis. This article introduces readers to the new AFFH database and compares it with other sources of data on neighborhood opportunity. As an example of the type of data analysis possible with AFFH data, I analyze the relationship among school proficiency, the minority population, and poverty for 23 census tracts in Roanoke, Virginia. Results indicate that school proficiency is negatively related with both the percent of the population that is non-White and the poverty rate. Eight geographical contiguous tracts with the highest percent non-White and highest poverty also tend to have the lowest school proficiency.

Since the recent housing crash, distressed sales have increased in numbers and have led to concerns about how they affect HPIs. This paper has three parts. First, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA's) standard HPIs are compared to HPIs constructed without distressed sales. Second, FHFA's identification of distressed sales is validated against a public data source. Third, the distressed sale discount is shown to vary across time and place. The magnitude of the discount also depends on whether the current or prior recent sales are distressed.

This paper contributes to this debate by suggesting that in the presence of moderate-sized structural breaks in the disaggregates, approach (2) is preferred because of the low power to detect mean shifts in the disaggregates using models of aggregates. In support of this approach are two exercises. First, a simple Monte Carlo study demonstrates theoretical forecasting improvements. Second, empirical evidence is given using pseudo-ex ante forecasts of aggregate proven oil reserves in the United States.

Appeals are frequently filed not by the homeowner but by a tax representative who often works on their behalf for a contingency fee. Using appeals from Miami-Dade County, Florida, we find that representatives have a greater presence in higher-value neighborhoods, which makes these homeowners more likely to appeal than those in lower-value neighborhoods, and representatives increase the percentage reduction in assessed value, but only because they increase the likelihood that appellants show up for the appeal hearings.

AB - Background: Cervical cancer disparities persist despite cervical cancer prevention advances and declining mortality rates, particularly among African-American women in the South. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore behavior, knowledge, and attitudes as influences on health decisions and preferences for cervical cancer prevention and control among African-American women in South Carolina. Methods: Data were collected from three focus groups conducted with 28 adult women aged 18 to 70 years in South Carolina. Purposive snowball sampling was employed. Data were coded using a content analysis approach in NVivo 10. Fleiss' kappa coefficient, a measure of interrater reliability, was 0.83. Findings: Twenty-seven participants self-identified as African American. The mean age of focus group participants was 45.3 years. Knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer risk was relatively low. Participants positively viewed cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination. Lack of health insurance and costs were screening barriers. Providers were viewed as trusted health information sources, yet stigma and fear negatively influenced screening. Cultural identity served as a facilitator and barrier for screening. Motivated by strength, identified as a central to African-American womanhood, participants viewed cervical cancer prevention as an important responsibility. However, the 'Strong Black Woman' script, which has been associated with self-care and coping strategies, was also a screening barrier owing to competing priorities. Conclusions: Study findings provide insight into cervical cancer prevention decision making and support tailored interventions. Culturally relevant interventions may better convey evidence-based messages about advances in cervical cancer prevention and control.

This study became an important baseline for the evaluation of the HCV program and its ability to serve the goal of poverty deconcentration. The study examined the ability of HCV households in the 50 largest metropolitan areas to make entry to a broad array of neighborhoods and to locate in high-opportunity neighborhoods with low levels of poverty. New data from HUD and the American Community Survey permit the study to be replicated. We find that vouchers continue to consume only a small portion of the housing stock, with relatively small amounts of spatial concentration. Unfortunately, only about one in five voucher households locate in low-poverty neighborhoods, and this share is rising only very slowly. If the nation wants to pursue poverty deconcentration through the HCV program, we cannot rely on the program, as it is now structured, to accomplish this goal. Additional incentives and constraints will be needed, similar to those that were part of the Gautreaux and Moving to Opportunity programs.

Using wealth data on U.S. households, we forecast changes in household wealth and calculate the importance of untaxed wealth in bequeathed estates. We then compare the aggregate and distributional burden of the current estate tax to policies in which only unrealized capital gains are subject to tax. We estimate that, in the coming decade, unrealized capital gains will comprise nearly half of the gross estate for estates worth over $50 million. Policies taxing capital gains can potentially raise more revenue than the current estate tax, but not without a substantial increase in the fraction of households facing a tax. Due to the high concentration of unrealized gains among the wealthy, we find that, although a modest capital gains allowance substantially reduces tax revenue, it sharply focuses the tax burden on the wealthiest households.

The model is able to consider city size differences caused by wage and amenity differentials, both with and without housing and land use regulation. The surprising conclusion is that per-capita energy use is relatively invariant to city size when growth is driven by wages but falls modestly with growth induced by rising amenity. Common land use policies, specifically density limits and greenbelts, can positively or negatively affect both city welfare and energy use.

Based on a three-stage cluster sample of 1,131 housing units, key statistically weighted estimates of the prevalence of lead-based paint (LBP) and LBP hazards associated with paint, dust, and soil, and arsenic in dust and soil, were as follows: 37.1 million homes (35%) had some LBP; 23.2 million (22%) had one or more LBP hazards; 93% of the homes with LBP were built before 1978. The highest prevalence of LBP and LBP hazards was in the Northeast and Midwest. Over three million homes with children under six years of age had LBP hazards, including 1.1 million low-income households (<$30,000/yr.). Less than 5% of homes had detectable levels of arsenic in dust (≥5 µg/ft²). Arsenic in soil (for homes with yard soil) averaged 6.6 parts per million (ppm). Many homes had soil arsenic levels of 20 ppm or greater, including 16% of homes with wooden structures in the yard and 8% of homes without such structures.

In response, governments have formulated housing policies and executed strategies and programs to promote inclusive access to affordable housing for all, including the poor and most vulnerable. The Kingdom of Morocco began adapting its housing finance market in 2004 with the creation of the Fogarim Guarantee Fund program. The Fogarim program facilitates access to housing credit for Moroccans with modest and irregular incomes. Although the circumstances related to accessing affordable housing are different in Morocco, the Fogarim guarantee is not all too dissimilar from guarantees in the United States. Through innovative guarantee mechanisms, Fogarim has accomplished measured success in expanding lending to borrowers with low and intermittent incomes. More than a decade later, the Moroccan experience presents an important opportunity to exchange practices on sovereign guarantee mechanisms and to evaluate their role in promoting access to affordable housing, especially as the United States continues to assess reforms to its own housing finance system.

First, we assess the predictive power of house price indices calculated at different levels of geographic aggregation. Lower levels of aggregation offer superior fit when appreciation rates vary substantially across submarkets and the indices are based on a sufficient number of transactions. Second, we estimate a competing options credit model using 15 years of mortgage performance data in the United States. Model accuracy is highest when using indices at a city or lower level of aggregation to construct current loan-to-value ratios. Fit is weaker when using state or national price indices. Overall, this research highlights the benefits of using more localized house price indices when predicting property values and mortgage performance.

JO - Journal of Economics & Business JF - Journal of Economics & Business Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 84 M3 - Article SP - 50 EP - 78 SN - 01486195 AB - Financial entities have been subject to risk-based capital requirements for many years. The experiences of the recent financial crisis led to heightened criticism that these rules are pro-cyclical, meaning they require insufficient capital during economic booms and excessive capital during busts. In response, recent revisions to such rules have included a countercyclical capital buffer, but it is problematic because implementation is discretionary with respect to both timing and amount on the part of regulators. An alternative rules-based countercyclical capital proposal put forth by Smith and Weiher (April, 2012. Countercyclical capital regime: a proposed design and empirical evaluation. Federal housing finance agency, working paper no . 12-2) that embodies a dynamically adjusting stress test for mortgage assets was intentionally structured to address these concerns. This paper tests the robustness of key elements of the Smith and Weiher (SW) countercyclical capital regime. Specifically, we examine each of the key design elements of the stress test, including construction of the trend line, the trough, and the time-path. We also expand on the empirical results presented by SW by showing how the resulting capital requirements might vary when their countercyclical stress test is applied using several different credit models. These tests of robustness support the conclusion that the SW countercyclical capital regime should produce capital requirements sufficient to ensure an entity would remain solvent during severe house price cycles. This conclusion is strongly supported by a test of concept of the countercyclical framework using Fannie Mae's historical book of business. If the countercyclical capital requirement had been in place during the run-up to the recent house price bubble, Fannie Mae would have been sufficiently capitalized to withstand losses it sustained in the subsequent housing crisis. This result is particularly noteworthy given that key components of the SW stress test were designed based upon pre-2002 data.

Tax lien sales reduce tax delinquency through two effects: the financial effect, or the sale of tax liabilities to private investors, and the behavioral response, or the early payment ofdelinquency by taxpayers who wish to avoid the sale. Using a policy innovation from Ohio, we estimate that tax lien sales reduce uncollected property tax balances by 5.6 percent through the behavioral response. However, we find evidence that tax lien sales fail to produce a behavioral response under adverse housing market conditions.

JO - Regional Science & Urban Economics JF - Regional Science & Urban Economics Y1 - 2016/05// VL - 58 M3 - Article SP - 71 EP - 77 SN - 01660462 AB - This paper investigates the impact of property tax delinquency on the sales price of nearby residential properties, an effect that we call the “delinquency discount”. We use a sample of 34,500 home sales and the population of delinquent properties for Chicago, Illinois during the period 2010 to 2013. We focus on the delinquency discount for properties within the same Census Block. We also examine the effect of delinquency duration on neighboring properties, as this measures the level of their financial distress. We estimate the magnitude of the delinquency discount using several alternative estimation methods, in each case controlling for local foreclosure activity. Our preferred method is a matching estimator, as it works to eliminate the potential for omitted variable bias that is common in this type of estimation. We find large, negative, and statistically meaningful effects of delinquent properties for which the local government has placed a tax lien and has put the lien up for sale to private investors. For properties with a tax lien that are not successfully sold, we estimate a negative spillover of 5.1% ($12,872) on surrounding properties. Properties with a tax lien that are sold to private investors have a smaller, but still negative impact on surrounding property values of 2.5% ($6310).

Experimental studies were carried out on three 1/3-scaled, one story single bay shear walls. The first specimen was a control specimen which was unstiffened and the other two specimens were diagonally stiffened using different stiffener configurations. Finite-element models of full SPWs are developed using finite element model. The results are compared with experimental results to investigate the influence of stiffeners on the behavior of the specimens. Good agreement between analytical and experimental models is found in point of failure modes and specimens' behavior. Based on the theory of plates and shells and frame analysis an equation is proposed to calculate the strength of both stiffened and unstiffened SPWs which could predict the experimental results accurately.

JO - BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth JF - BMC Pregnancy & Childbirth Y1 - 2016/07/29/ VL - 16 M3 - journal article SP - 1 EP - 11 SN - 14712393 AB - Background: The U.S. continues to have one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the industrialized world. Studies have shown that full-time employment and early return to work decreased breastfeeding duration, but little is known about the relationship between leave policies and breastfeeding initiation and cessation. This study aimed to identify workplace-related barriers and facilitators associated with breastfeeding initiation and cessation in the first 6 months postpartum.Methods: A prospective cohort study design was utilized to recruit 817 Minnesota women aged 18 and older while hospitalized for childbirth. Selection criteria included English-speaking, employed mothers with a healthy, singleton birth. These women were followed up using telephone interviews at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months after childbirth. The main study outcomes were breastfeeding initiation, measured during hospital enrollment, and breastfeeding cessation by 6 months postpartum.Results: Women were 30 years old; 86 % were White, and 73 % were married. Breastfeeding rates were 81 % at childbirth, 67 % at 6 weeks, 49 % at 12 weeks, and 33 % at 6 months postpartum. Logistic regression revealed the odds of breastfeeding initiation were higher for women who: held professional jobs, were primiparae, had graduate degree, did not smoke prenatally, had no breastfeeding problems, and had family or friends who breastfeed. Survival analyses showed the hazard for breastfeeding cessation by 6 months was: higher for women who returned to work at any time during the 6 months postpartum versus those who did not return, lower for professional workers, higher among single than married women, higher for every educational category compared to graduate school, and higher for those with no family or friends who breastfeed.Conclusions: While employer paid leave policy did not affect breastfeeding initiation or cessation, women who took shorter leaves were more likely to stop breastfeeding in the first 6 months postpartum. Future research should examine women's awareness of employer policies regarding paid and unpaid leave.

The highly concentrated damages at the edges of the Dinar basin during occurred earthquakes at regions close to rock outcrop bring up the effect of the inclined bedrock effect on the dynamic behavior of the basin with 2D geometry. In this study, first the idealized 2D model of the basin based on the results of the underground explorations and geologic investigations is proposed. Results show that Dinar basin has an asymmetric 2D geometry with two different bedrock angles at edges. Then, a numerical study using finite difference based nonlinear code which utilizes appropriate static and dynamic boundary conditions, and includes hysteresis damping formulation based on the user defined degradation curves is conducted using real earthquake motions of different strength and frequency content. The constructed model is subjected to the collection of 16 earthquakes with different PGA's of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 g, four motions for each PGA. It was seen that the dynamic behavior of the basin is broadly affected by the two dimensional bedrock. The results indicates the higher effect of the 6° bedrock inclination at east part on the amplification with respect to the steeper 20° bedrock slope at the west. Also, the results show the insignificant effect of the bedrock at the depth more than 150 m on the amplification of the east edge. While the effect of the 6° bedrock angle at the east part continues until 1500 m from the outcrop, it affects the amplification until 700 m from the outcrop at the west part with 20° bedrock angle.

To compare blood lead levels (BLLs) among US children aged 1 to 5 years according to receipt of federal housing assistance. Methods. In our analyses, we used 2005 to 2012 data for National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) respondents thatwere linked to 1999 to 2014 administrative records from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). After we restricted the analysis to children with family income-to-poverty ratios below 200%, we compared geometricmean BLLs and the prevalence of BLLs of 3micrograms per deciliter or higheramongchildrenwhowerelivingin assisted housing at the time of theirNHANESblood draw (n = 151) with data for children who did not receive housing assistance (n = 1099). Results. After adjustment, children living in assisted housing had a significantly lower geometric mean BLL (1.44 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.31, 1.57) than comparable children who did not receive housing assistance (1.79 mg/dL; 95% CI = 1.59, 2.01; P < .01). The prevalence ratio for BLLs of 3 micrograms per deciliter or higher was 0.51 (95% CI = 0.33, 0.81; P < .01). Conclusions. Children aged 1 to 5 years during 2005 to 2012 who were living in HUD-assisted housing had lower BLLs than expected given their demographic, socioeconomic, and family characteristics.

Privately-insured loans are more likely to default than uninsured loans with comparable risk characteristics, indicating the presence of adverse selection. By contrast, loans insured by FHA are not more likely to default than similar uninsured loans. Hazard ratios for both insurance types fall when an adjusted rate spread variable, but does not eliminate the disparity between uninsured and privately-insured loans. On the other hand, privately-insured loans are less likely to prepay while FHA-insured loans are more likely to prepay relative to uninsured loans.

AB - Objective: A lack of emergency savings renders low-income households vulnerable to material hardships resulting from unexpected expenses or loss of income. Having emergency savings helps these households respond to unexpected events, maintain consumption, and avoid high-cost credit products. Because many low-income households receive sizable federal tax refunds, tax time is an opportunity for these households to allocate a portion of refunds to savings. We hypothesized that low-income tax filers who deposit at least part of their tax refunds into a savings account will experience less material and health care hardship compared to non-depositors. Method: Using data from a household financial survey of a large-scale tax-time savings initiative, we examined the effects of saving tax refunds on material and health care hardship outcomes 6 months after filing taxes among a sample of low-income filers (n = 7,537). We used propensity score analysis to adjust for self-selection bias. Results: Six months after filing taxes, depositors have statistically significant better outcomes than non-depositors for five of six hardship outcomes. Also, Black filers have statistically significant worse outcomes than White filers for half of hardship indicators. Conclusions: Findings affirm the importance of saving refunds at tax time as a way to lower the likelihood of experiencing various hardships. Findings concerning race suggest that Black households face greater hardship risks than White households, reflecting broader patterns of social inequality.

Estimating a Conservative Lower Bound. JO - Journal of Real Estate Finance & Economics JF - Journal of Real Estate Finance & Economics Y1 - 2017/01// VL - 54 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 97 EP - 116 SN - 08955638 AB - In risk management, the credit risk and required capital associated with mortgage assets is often estimated through stress testing where the house price path is an important determinant of the severity of the stress test. Specifically, the extent of credit-related losses is a function of how far house prices are above long-term trend and the extent to which they can fall below trend. Focusing on the latter, we develop a theoretically-based statistical technique to identify a conservative lower bound (CLB) for house prices. Leveraging a model based upon investor incentives, the CLB explains the depth of housing market downturns at both the national and state level over a variety of market environments. This approach performs well in several historical back tests and has strong out-of-sample predictive ability. When back-tested, the estimation approach does not understate house price declines in any state over the 1987 to 2001 housing cycle and only understates declines in three states during the most recent financial crisis. This latter result is particularly noteworthy given that the post-2001 estimates are performed out-of-sample. The CLB is attractive because it (1) provides a leading indicator of the severity of future downturns and (2) allows estimates of trough to recover or decrease in magnitude as markets return to baseline conditions. This estimation technique could prove helpful in measuring the credit risk associated with portfolios of mortgage assets as part of evaluating static or designing dynamic stress tests.

Using a numerical simulation of the standard urban model, we show telework causes sprawl, calling into question the idea that telework decreases energy consumption. Overall effects depend on wage changes due to telework, land-use regulation such as height limits or greenbelts, and the telework participation rate. While energy consumption increases in some scenarios, emissions may fall due to changes in the energy mix between gasoline and other sources.

The LIHTC provides an income tax credit to owners of newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated low-income rental housing development. Credit is limited and based on the number of low-income units based on a minimum occupancy and maximum rent criteria. A building located in a Qualified Census Tract can receive a higher credit percentage. The designations are based on 1990 Census Data (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)
