Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Better Cash Management Needed in HUD's Section 312 Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program

CED-80-74 Published: Mar 28, 1980. Publicly Released: Apr 28, 1980.
Jump To:

Highlights

A review was made of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) cash management procedures for administering the rehabilitation loan program authorized by section 312 of the Housing Act of 1964. The program provides direct low-interest, long-term loans to property owners in approved areas. Local public agencies (LPA's) are responsible for loan processing leading up to and following settlement with section 312 borrowers. Additionally, they request funds from HUD to arrive in time for loan settlements and maintain loan escrow accounts for section 312 borrowers. After loan settlements, LPA's help borrowers to get contractors to start work, make periodic and final inspections of the properties, pay contractors out of the escrow accounts, and close out loans.
