Cut in U.S. Housing Aid Raises Concerns for Poor
By DAVID W. CHEN
January 27, 2005
The New York City Housing Authority said yesterday that the federal
government would provide $50 million less than what the agency needs to
provide rent vouchers for low-income residents this year, a gap that agency
officials fear could hamper their ability to house the poorest tenants.
The budget gap, part of a nationwide squeeze by the Bush administration in
spending on housing programs, could mean that the authority would have to
reduce the number of planned vouchers by more than 6,000 this year from the
city's current 118,000. Agency officials have said they hope to avoid
evicting any tenants, but will most likely cut back on new tenants and will
not be able to replace those who leave. .. SNIP
