HUD...What ..the department does Romney wants to eliminate
At a Florida fundraiser this past weekend, he was over heard telling donors what departments he would eliminate or consolidate. Aside from reducing the size of the department of Education and moving it in with another unnamed department, he said he would eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development. What does he want to eliminate? What does HUD do? It enforces fair housing rules against discrimination. From the HUD website, here is what it also has done:" Behind the formulas and the grant eligibility criteria of our programs are the stories of people's lives, whether they are among the 1.6 million responsible first-time homebuyers the FHA has supported since President Obama took office; the 1.8 million people with disabilities we serve through Housing Choice Vouchers, the Section 811, Public Housing programs, and other initiatives; or the more than 900,000 seniors who live with the care they need and dignity they deserve thanks to our Section 202, Project-based Section 8, and Public Housing programs."
