HUD Challenge

HUD Challenge was a periodical published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from November 1969 to September 1978. A total of 100 issues covered timely topics such as Operation Breakthrough and timeless topics like disaster recovery. As stated by former HUD Secretary George Romney, "The first issue of Challenge, the Departmental magazine, symbolizes the coming-of-age of our team. We have now been together long enough to know each other, to have smoothed out some organizational wrinkles, and to have set a course for the long pull ahead. We have defined our problems; now it is time to meet their challenge. … Challenge should be a showcase for the best thoughts in HUD, a display window for the most exciting HUD-related projects across the country."

HUD Investments in Impoverished Areas for House Report 116-106 (Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, 2020)

The House Committee on Appropriations' Report (H. Rept. 116-106) accompanying the 2020 appropriations bill (H.R.3163) requested that Departments and agencies report on the percentage of funds allocated by each program, between fiscal years 2017 and 2020, to two types of impoverished communities: persistent poverty counties and high-poverty areas. Across all of its programs, HUD funding was more likely to be used in high-poverty areas than in persistent poverty counties. About 6 to 10 percent of funding was used in persistent poverty counties, compared to 40 to 60 percent used in high poverty areas. The public housing program had the highest share of funding in persistent poverty counties (13.6 %) and high-poverty areas (77.3 %).

Worst Case Housing Needs 2021 Report To Congress

The 2021 Worst Case Housing Needs report provides national data and analysis of critical housing problems facing very low-income renting families. Low-income renters without government housing assistance are defined as having worst case needs for adequate, affordable rental housing if they pay more than one-half of their income for rent, live in severely inadequate conditions, or both. The report determines that 7.77 million renter households had worst case housing needs in 2019, and there were only 62 affordable housing units per 100 very low-income renters. Since this report uses data captured just before the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic impacts, it includes a Special Addendum to examine the impacts of the recession and relief legislation on worst case needs.
