HUD and its union long have grappled over the agency's 1999 decision to contract out the project-based Section 8 program, which subsidizes rents for low-income Americans. They disagree about the cost of using contractors versus keeping the work in house.
| HUD Estimate | Union Estimate | |
|---|---|---|
| Contractor Cost 2003 | $270 million | $284 million |
| In house Cost 1999* | $190 million | $44 million |
| (1,400 HUD employees) | (500 HUD employees) | |
