Highlights

In view of the actions being taken or planned by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) concerning its public housing security demonstration program, GAO will not continue with its review of public housing security measures and related crime and vandalism problems. Further observations and recommedations were made in an effort to aid HUD in improving public housing security. These observations relate to (1) the number of project sites to be evaluated, (2) the lack of staff assigned to direct the demonstration program, and (3) the need for an effective organization and funding mechanism to assure that the demonstration program results are acted upon by HUD to establish and maintain an effective comprehensive security program for the Nation's public housing projects.
