Your Call 012709 After Bush, what's left of HUD and federal housing?

After eight years of George W. Bush, what's left of HUD and federal housing? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about the US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under the Bush Administration, HUD's budget was drastically scrapped, dozens of economic development projects were purged, and low-income housing programs were cut. So what should be done to fix HUD? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Danilo Pelletiere, research director of the National Low Income Housing Coalition, senior fellow at the School of Public Policy at George Mason University

John Bartlett, executive director of the Metropolitan Tenants Organization
