Abstract: Survey a statistically significant sample of housing authorities and a set of public housing developments, buildings and units, using instruments that include systems inspection coding and information, costs, and modernization and conversion actions. Using these instruments, the study will generate estimates in constant dollars of existing and accrued total and per-unit capital needs at the national level and for important subcategories such as HA size (measured by number of ACC units) and region. The sample and data instruments shall enable statistically significant comparison with results from the 1998 capital needs study. The Study responds to a Congressional mandate.

Short Statement: As it has been approximately a decade since the last Capital Needs Assessment, there is a lack of recent information about how well these measures have addressed existing and accrued capital needs. In order to provide HUD and Congress with better information to make policy and strategic decisions, in the recent conference report 110-443 accompanying Public Law 110-161, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, the conferees directed HUD to perform an updated Capital Needs Assessment, including annual cost estimates to adequately maintain that portfolio.
