major directionl to bl dilculled Are the ohanging fooua of public
houling, tho devolopmant of lelf halp programl and the ovan
appliCAtion of the benafitl cf houling alliltanco.
Tho faco of public houling il changing from a domioile for poor
fAmiliel to an eoonomic engino to power home ownerahip at all
lovell. The Cranlton-Gonzalol Aot of 1990 creatod many new
programl that lead to holO ownerlhip. Hoat of thoao pr09raml
woro onaoted but not enab10d by funding. While nUD 1a flcod with
implomenting JIlAny of tho I' initiativel by adapting prolont
pr09raml, w. Are in a polition of making our own rulaa, with
limitationl, in rogard to thele new directionl. Topica for
dilcullion will include new publio housing And the lal. of
pr'lont And future public houling.
Ono example of public houaing al an economic engine may clarify
thil new direotion. OUr prelent public houling ia debt free and
own.d by Iowa City. Wero we to .ell a unit to a qualifiod
tonant, Iowa City would koop the money realized from tha aala and
would oither r.coivo A cartificAte or A vouchar to raplAca tho
10lt unit. The monial rooeivad from that lale than oould be uaed

trAining and other lupport programa noedad to obtain self

Tho third alpect is the opreading of tha bonufitl to all aliglbla
fAmilial within tho Unitad Statoa. Under tho Cranston-Gonzalea
Aot1 federal law auparcodal atato law in regard to mattero of

Ho olton muat "wait" until they can provido lor us. Why? We can
