The fiscal year 1992 Bush budget request to Congress again slashes funding for vitally needed housing and community development programs. It appears the request merely dusts off previous Reagan budget requests by effectively reducing the number of units assisted by HUD and eliminating critical programs to lowincome Americans. The Bush budget: Provides no new funding for public housing development or Indian housing construction even though an estimated 1 million persons around the country are currently on public housing waiting lists: Proposes no funding for the new national home ownership trust or the Migrant Homeless Program. Only asks for half of the funding authorized for the Home Investment Partnership Program. a gap financing program to expand the supply of safe and affordable housing. Provides. like the Reagan budgets. no new funding for section 8 certificates and continues its reliance on vouchers as its principal form of rental assistance to lowincome persons.
