- W871656908 abstract "Privatization of Public Housing Shelved -- For Now by George Lakoff HUD's attempt to privatize all of America's public housing has been put on hold -- for now. You played an important role. Thousands of you signed the petition and spread the word, so that those at the House Financial Services Committee hearing on May 25 understood what the stakes were. Barney Frank and Maxine Waters asked the right questions, and HUD's answers revealed what was hidden in the language of the bill, namely, that all public housing in America would be subject to privatization. Under the PETRA bill, public housing could result in new ownership that would take out mortgages from private banks to fix and maintain the property. In the case of budget cuts to HUD, or mismanagement by new owners, the mortgage payments would be endangered and foreclosure would be a real issue. Banks that held the mortgages could foreclose and then those banks would own what is now public housing. Barney Frank's questions to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan reveal that Rep. Frank understood that foreclosure would mean privatization. Donovan did not answer Barney Frank's questions. The next day Donovan stated in a blog on the Huffington Post that his PETRA bill would not allow privatization of public housing, contrary to Rep. Frank's -- and my -- understanding. Here is Secretary Donovan refusing to answer Barney Frank's questions at the hearing of the Financial Services Committee of the House on May 25. Barney Frank: Going to a Project-based section 8 is one thing, the ability to finance and put ownership at risk is another. You say in your opening statement that ownership won't change, but it might if there is a financing and then a foreclosure. How necessary is that? Is there a way to get financing without that? And, if you have a foreclosure, would you then have, well, you can have use restrictions but would you then have a private entity (it's almost like contract prisons), is there then a private entity standing in the shoes of government and what are the constitutional implications of that? That's what concerns me. You anticipate, under this, you could end up with a foreclosure and a private ownership of public housing, are they then required to maintain it as public housing in perpetuity? Does the tenant or anyone else have the same constitutional rights vis-a vis-that owner. In the municipality," @default.
