This report contains the findings and recommendations resulting from our operations review of the South Bend Housing Allowance Office (HAO). This report will be followed by another report which assesses the implications of HAO cost data for analyzing other housing program administrative costs.

The HAO is the administrative agent for the allowance payment program which is part of the Supply Experiment. The Supply Experiment is part of a larger HUD Experimental Housing Allowance Program (EHAP) whose purpose is to determine the general impact and feasibility of supplying housing allowance payments directly to households. The Supply Experiment is primarily concerned with the impact of the program on the suppliers of housing units.
