Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided: (1) an inventory, as of June 10, 1997, of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) self-sufficiency and economic opportunity programs and demonstrations that are designed to assist tenants of public and assisted housing or low- and moderate-income residents of certain geographic areas; and (2) information on how two of HUD's self-sufficiency programs--Housing Opportunity for People Everywhere (HOPE VI) and Economic Development and Supportive Services (EDSS)--are linked to the other programs that GAO identified. GAO focused on: (1) programmatic linkages through which programs are coordinated and implemented toward accomplishing the objectives of HOPE VI and EDSS; and (2) funding linkages in which dollars from one program are provided to support other programs or activities.
