hud has housing in their name. we have worked closely. fema does do temporary housing to get people into something immediately. we work hand in hand. with the tennessee floods a couple of years ago, we were looking at houses lost. a lot of people were being displaced. our great partners from hud got in there immediately with us. we were able to move people from one section 8 housing to another. they never had to go into fema housing. they did not have to move from place to place or program to program. we are able to move them into what would be their permanent homes. moving forward by that and focusing on what needs to be done as we're looking at a housing and challenges as we move forward. next we have infrastructure systems. i am not sure if anyone was able to join us from the corps of engineers. great. it is great to see you. çwe know the corps of engineers goes around the world building things and looking at roads systems, utility systems. it is not just the corps of engineers. it is looking at things we need to reconstruct. how wil

202 housing for seniors, and hud 11 housing for disabled folks. however, the demand for these subsidies far outstrip their availability. consequently, the city may be able to plumb the capital improvements, but the project would not be feasible because the housing provider would not be able to demonstrate to competitive resources that provide funding in the form of tax credit allocation or reduced rate financing or conventional lenders who provide construction financing or investors to also provide capital to build that the project is feasible. local operating subsidy program was created to support building operations were the tenant rent payments and all other forms of resources coming into the product decked are not enough to cover operating expenses. where there is a gap, loss pays the difference through multi- year grant agreements which are subject to annual appropriations. so this is a slide about the typical tenant rand company -- contributions. for a typical homeless single adults, the average household income if he or she is on disability

a lot of counseling dollars flow through hud. i used to travel around the country and visit with housing counselors and certain hard hit markets. i spent time in nevada and other communities, but the thing i thought was a shortage of money. and it's one of the biggest debate debated items of the hud budget. as a result, the resources, no matter how good the work is being done, there's not enough money to deal with the need. and if the consumer who is being afgted by the scam artist doesn't have a resource and doesn't know where to turn, they're going to be exposed. at the end of the day, it's a difficult one. and looking at the department of justice representative here, you know, it is illegal. and the president has been firm on it. the administration has talked about it. anybody who cares doesn't want this to happen. >> thank you. one thing that's always sort of mystifying is that so much of the abuse of consumers and misbehavior of consumers can be purged by having good quality testing and having the testing results turned over

the capital funding in 1996 that we received from hud -- we are totally dependent on hud funding. $24 million. three years ago, we were receiving $13 million for capital improvements. this year we're getting $10 million for capital improvements. so we are getting less than half the funding, the properties are older. it is very difficult for us to keep up and make the kinds of improvements want to make on those properties. we have had similar operating budget cuts. the operating fund pays for maintenance and property managers. we have had to cut staff -- i believe about 100 staff people, going from over 400 down to 300 over the past three or four years. our goal is to maintain and improve our properties. we have been able to leverage outside funding. we were successful with hope 6 to rebuild five of our properties. we are starting an energy conservation program. we are doing about $25 million of energy upgrades. some of which greatly reduces our energy costs. others we were able to squeeze into the program, which are high need improvements that do not have a lot of savings, but over th

the market rents are established by hud. a person who makes 30% ami could afford and what they are likely to find in the market. significant gaps for lower income populations and for larger bedroom size buildings. that got -- that gap starts to go away when you get to 80% ami. we can see that compresses have come down -- average home prices have come down. the affordability gaps have also come down. one of the benefits of the global economic crisis, few though they may be, it is that the gap in affordability for ownership has come down. however, a that gap still persists across a lot of income levels. if you jump to owning your own home, it continues to be a difficult leap for people to make. looking at our population trend as related to income level, this attempt to show that over a quarter -- about a quarter of the population is the upper income group. our two largest categories are lower in, and upper income. that trend has become more pronounced. folks who are leaving the city are in a low income range or moderate income

the same industry i took actions against while i was at hud. you hear that message repeated multiple times. those enforcement actions will work their way through, but the question is how do we get hold back into the housing system? the more -- hope back into the housing system? the more we have discussions where you want to leave and slit your wrists, with the dialogue about the downside ahead, that does not lead from the confidence standpoint, and at the same time we do not want irrational exuberance towards the future with people making decisions based on expectations better to positive. balance is off the the what we need to think about. i want to talk about a few balances. the first of the balance in a leadership against rental. when i worked for shaun donovan, he worked -- he talked about a balanced housing policy. what does that mean? to many families were promoted into the hope of homeownership, and it particularly destroyed communities of color, committees of low-income levels, communities that were propped it because of water%-financed
