10.1: Intermediaries
Improve the performance of housing intermediaries Other Information:
HUD is no longer willing to subsidize substandard housing. HUD will strengthen oversight of housing intermediaries using a
new database and management rating system to hold them responsible for results. Using existing statutory authority, HUD will
promptly replace the management of public housing authorities and sanction private owners of subsidized projects when these
intermediaries are in substantial default of their contractual obligations, to maintain clean, safe housing units. The Expected
Results—The percentage of units meeting HUD’s physical standards for public housing will rise to 74 percent in 2002 and 84
percent by 2005. For private housing that is subsidized by HUD, the percent of units meeting physical standards will increase
to 89 percent in 2002 and 92 percent by 2005. HUD’s goal for the near future is to expand housing choices for those who reside
in housing that fails to meet physical standards. HUD will work with Congress on ways to ensure that families are not required
to live in substandard housing as a condition for retaining their subsidy.
