( October 2014 ) The 203 ( k ) program offers low down payment loans to primary resident owner occupants or nonprofit groups to buy and renovate a house. One of the most successful HUD programs over the years has been the Multifamily Housing Service Coordinator Program. Each year since 1992, HUD has included in its Notice of Fund Availability ( NOFA ), a specific allocation of dollars to allow sponsors and owners of HUD multifamily housing for the elderly the opportunity to hire a Service Coordinator. The Service Coordinator provides case management and coordinative services to elderly residents, particularly to those who are `` frail '' and `` at - risk '' allowing them to remain in their current residence. As a result, thousands of senior citizens throughout the United States have been given the opportunity to continue to live independently instead of in an institutional facility such as a nursing home. Professional organizations such as the American Association of Service Coordinators provide support to HUD Service Coordinator through education, training, networking and advocacy. HUD has experimented with Enterprise Zones granting economic incentives to economically depressed urban areas, but this function has largely been taken over by states. Due to HUD 's lending practices, it occasionally takes possession of a home when a lender it insures forecloses. Such properties are then generally sold off to the highest bidder through the HUD auction process. Buyers of HUD homes as their primary residences who make a full - price offer to HUD using FHA - insured mortgage financing receive seller concessions from HUD enabling them to use only a $100 down payment. Criticisms A scandal arose in the 1990s when at least 700 houses were sold for profit by real estate speculators taking the loans ; at least 19 were arrested. The scandal devastated the Brooklyn and Harlem housing market and with $70 million in HUD loans going into default. Critics said that HUD 's lax oversight of their program allowed the fraud to occur. and in 1997, the HUD Inspector General issued a report saying : `` The program design encourages risky property deals, land sale and refinance schemes, overstated property appraisals, and phony or excessive fees. '' In June 1993, HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros admitted that `` HUD has in many cases exacerbated the declining quality of life in America. '' In 1996, Vice President Al Gore, referring to public housing projects, declared that, `` These crime - infested monuments to a failed policy are killing the neighborhoods around them ''. HUD Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing Roberta Achtenberg has been quoted as saying ``... HUD walks a tightrope between free speech and fair housing. We are ever mindful of the need to maintain the proper balance between these rights. '' Libertarian critic James Bovard commented that, `` The more aggressive HUD becomes, the fewer free speech rights Americans have. Many words and phrases are now effectively forbidden in real estate ads... Apparently, there are two separate versions of the Bill of Rights -- one for private citizens and the other for federal bureaucrats and politicians ''. In 2006, The Village Voice called HUD `` New York City 's worst landlord '' and `` the # 1 worst in the United States '' based upon decrepit conditions of buildings and questionable eviction practices. In September 2010, HUD started auctioning off delinquent home mortgage loans, defined as at least 90 days past due, to the highest bidder. It sold 2,000 loans in six national auctions. In 2012, this sale was massively increased under a `` Distressed Asset Stabilization Program '' ( DASP ), and the 100,000 loans sold as of 2014 have netted 8.8 billion for the FHA, rebuilding cash reserves that had been depleted by loan defaults. The second stated and eponymous objective is to stabilize communities, by requiring purchasers to service the loans in a manner that stabilizes the surrounding communities by getting the loans to re-perform, renting the home to the borrower, gifting the property to a land bank or paying off the loans in full. An audit published August 2014 found `` only about 11 percent of the loans sold through DASP ( were ) considered ' re-performing ' ''. `` Rather than defaulting -- ( FHA ) keeps many of the properties they 're tied to from going through the typical foreclosure process. As a result, the FHA might actually be diverting housing stock from first - time homebuyers, the very group it was formed to serve...
