  • Pitfalls of Housing Redistribution
    PITFALLS OF HOUSING REDISTRIBUTION CARL F. HOROWITZt Advocates of metropolitan-wide income and racial egalitarianism have been taking some hits lately. For once, the political juggernaut to reduce income and racial differences across community lines is running into detours instead of creating them. For example, late last summer a joint Senate and House Conference Committee overseeing spending by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) shelved a $149.1 million fiscal 1995 appropriation for the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) program.' MTO, modeled on HUD's Gautreaux Demonstration program, is intended to enable low-income inner-city recipients of Section 8 vouchers and certificates to move to communities with relatively little poverty concentration.2 Anthony Downs, senior fellow with the Brookings Institution, characterized the action as "part of the hysterical reaction by conservatives against having low- income people moving into their communities. "' If that were not enough, Republicans last November won a 4 majority in the House and Senate for the first time in forty years. GOP leaders have made it clear that they intend to reduce the size and reach of the federal government by scaling back or eliminating agencies repeatedly plagued by inefficiency, waste, and corruption. Owing largely to this Congressional realignment, the Clinton Administration came close to recommending that Congress abolish HUD, an agency not unknown for its share of corruption.' In response, HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros and key aides quickly t Washington Correspondent, Investor's Business Daily. ' Instrumental in the action was Maryland Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski, who had "strong reservations" about the program and questioned its administrative oversight.

Since taking office, his top priority has been to create a world-class educational system through high standards and increased accountability. Before becoming governor, he served as Florida's Secretary of Commerce in 1987-1988 under Gov. Bob Martinez, and in that capacity he promoted Florida's business climate worldwide. In 1994, Bush founded the "Foundation for Florida's Future," a not-for-profit organization to influence public policy at the grassroots level. As chairman of the foundation, he co-founded the state's first charter school, Liberty City Charter School, with the Urban League of Greater Miami. Henry Cisneros, Chairman and CEO, American CityVista Henry Cisneros is founder and chairman of American CityVista, a joint venture in home- building he formed with Kaufman and Broad (now KB Home) in August 2000. Previously, he was president and chief operating officer of Univision Communications in Los Angeles, the Spanish-language broadcaster that has become the fifth most-watched television network in the nation. In 1993, he became President Clinton’s first Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Cisneros was the first Hispanic American mayor of a major U.S. city when he was elected mayor of San Antonio in 1981. During his four terms as mayor, Cisneros helped rebuild the city’s economic base and created jobs through massive infrastructure and downtown improvements, making San Antonio one of the most progressive cities in the nation.
