HUD's FY '05 Budget Briefing
with Public Interest Groups
On
February 2, 2004, HUD held its annual budget briefing for public
interest groups. Assistant Secretary for Office of Congressional
and Intergovernmental Relations Steven B. Nesmith opened the budget
briefing and introduced panelists: Assistant Secretaries Weicher,
Bernardi, and Liu as well as Office of Budget Director David Gibbons.
President
Bush's proposed budget for fiscal year 2005 includes $31.3 billion
for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The spending
plan continues to emphasize HUD's commitment to promote affordable
housing, strengthen communities and increase homeownership across
America.
Acting
Secretary Alphonso Jackson said the budget blueprint will
continue to provide historically high levels of support
to thousands of local programs that house and serve the
nation's homeless.
"These are times for hard choices, yet this budget shows
just how committed this Administration is to the people
and places who need help," said Jackson. "Whether it's promoting
homeownership and affordable housing or serving our most
vulnerable citizens, the resources we are requesting signal
a strong investment in neighborhoods throughout America."
