Obama's HUD Budget Wins Praise In Providing for Community Needs

摘要

Housing organizations praised the Obama Administration's HUD fiscal 2010 budget, but there was concern that the public housing operating fund formula will not be fully funded despite the Administration's intention to provide 100 percent funding and that the capital fund amount is inadequate compared to the need.rnThe U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) said that the mayors are encouraged with the budget and the investments in community development and housing, despite concerns about a lack of funding for the energy efficiency and conservation block grant.rn"The budget largely recognizes that the nation's future prosperity is very much dependent on the health of our metro areas," said USCM President Manny Diaz, the mayor of Miami.
