Review of Selected Activities of the Low-Rent Housing Program in the Nine-State Area Administered by the San Francisco Regional Office, Public Housing Administration, Housing and Home Finance Agency

Our examination of selected low-rent housing program activities in the area administered by the San Francisco Regional Office of the Public Housing Administration was completed during calendar year 1960 at the regional office and during 1961 at the WA Central Office. This examination included (1) a review of basic laws authorizing the activities, and the pertinent legislative history, (2) PEA regulations, administrative policies, and instructions for conformance with the basic legislation, and (3) various records at the PHA San Francisco Regional Office, including reports on (a) technical reviews and inspections made by the regional office staff, (b) internal audits, and (c) fiscal, management, and occupancy audits of selected local housing authorities. In addition, we examined certain activities that, on the basis of our preliminary review, warranted further investigation.
