NHL Attacks HUD Report NEW YORK -- The National Urban Leaou#* h?c p#HaH misleading a federal report that describes the displacement of low income households by more affluent home , buyers as 4'minimal.'* The report was released by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. "Despite the HUD report, which was based on the skimpiest of data, displacement is a significant problem for hundereds of thousands of families and not one to be so lightly dismissed," said Thomas Gale, NUL housing director. Gale noted that HUD tallied 500,000 displacements for , each of the three years studied, 1974-76. He said, in those same years, the average number of HUD-assisted housing units made available to low-income persons was under 100,000. "Since HUD itself acknowledges that most displacees tend to be lower-income, minority and elederly persons, it is reasonable to conclude that large numbers of them are victims of displacement, and not the few hundred that HUD so aliblv talks about " Fire Safety Text I sued WASHINGTON -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a new fire safety manual ' f " ? - ft# fire ; ' - ........ vV V A ^ ^^wlikvdlly dllllCQ .. 0 safety problems of low-income and minority consumers.
