WHEREAS, the federal Office of Management and Budget is proposiag
to eliminate its federally assisted housing program in order to increase
cash subsidies to welfare recipients; and
WHEREAS, public housing in Section 8 could be abendoned and dis-
ma.ntled in favor of the cash subsidies; and
WHEREAS, the proposed program would have an adverse local impact `
because:
1. Monies would be spread among seven million uelfare families
and few could afford standard housing; therefore, benefiting
slum landlords;
2. Welfare housing payments have a poor record. At least one-half
of national welfare recipients live in substandard housing;
3. There is a critical housing shortage demanding new construction
for low-income families;
4. Federally assisted housing has a good record and has resulted
in standard and well managed housing including new housing units;
5. Federally assisted housing generates neighborhood improvement,
reinvestment and rehabilitation as well as housing opportunities;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the St. Paul City Council opposes the cash subsidy to
welfare reci ients and ur es the federal overnment to retain Section 8

Dear Ms. Mix:
This is in response to your letter to the President expressing concern over
the possibility that current subsidized housing programs might be "cashed
out" and the resources used to augment welfare benefits under a welfare
reform initiative.
As you know, the President has made a commitment to reforra the Nation's
welfare syst+em in a way that is fair for all the poor. To make good on this
commitment, he directed that members of his Cabinet undertake a
comprehensive analysis of the a�ternative forms welfare reform might take.
This, of necessity, required a review of major programs which assist low-
income families in improving or maintaining their standard of living.
Clearly, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's subsidized
housing programs fall in this category.
I want to emphasize that the Office of Management and Budget (4MB} has
not recommended that current subsidized housing programs be "cashed out"
in favor of welfare reform, although this indeed is one of the options that
OMB and other agencies have identified and analyzed.
At this point, all dacisions have not get been made on the final details of the
welfare reform proposal. Nevertheless, i can te11 you that the
Administration's proposal will not "cash out" the subsidized housing
programs.
Thank you again for sharing your views on this very complex issue with us.
I can as�ure you that your concerns will not be overlooked in reaching a
decision.
Sincereiy,
OCJ`•
