REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office


Action Being Taken To

Correct Weaknesses In The

Rehabilitation Loan Program



The Department of Housing and Urban
Development services and accounts for de-
faulted rehabilitation loans valued at over
$53 million. In fiscal 1977 over $2 mil-
lion, or about 53 percent of the total
amount due on the loans during the year,
was not collected. This situation resulted
from a lack of aggressive servicing by De-
partment field offices and the use of a
manual recordkeeping system which was
incapable of accounting for an increasing
volume of loans.

The Department's Rehabilitation Loan Pro-
gram was the subject of congressional tes-
timony on October 5, 1978. Department
officials testified that GAO had properly
identified the program's accounting and
loan servicing problems and that the De-
partment had taken or was taking correc-
tive actions.
