Accomplishments:
In FY 2008, the Department assisted in strengthening homeownership by providing 1.2 million Federal Housing Administration endorsements, providing housing counseling for over 1 million clients, and exceeding the pace for adding 5.5 million minority homeowners between 2002 and 2010. The Department assisted communities across the nation through many programs, including the $4 billion formula Community Development Block Grant, HOME, Homeless Assistance Grants, and Housing for Opportunities for Persons With AIDS programs. HUD programs also assisted 4.7 million targeted low-income clients with affordable housing. The Department continued to enforce and educate the nation on Fair Housing rights and responsibilities.
Challenges: The Department continues to support the national mortgage market through FHA?s insurance programs that provide a safe, affordable financing option that is particularly needed by first-time homeowners and those threatened by foreclosure. The Department continues to support community and economic development seeking to target limited resources to the areas of greatest need. It also provides substantial resources in response to natural disasters and other emergencies. HUD's work continues to further reduce housing discrimination, end lead poisoning in children, and preserve 4.7 million affordable rental housing units. |
