This study uses a cost benefit analysis to estimate the potential net impacts of proposed reductions by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in federal funding of capital investment in public housing authorities (PHAs). It examines the extent to which  reductions in capital investment in PHAs impose costs on governments at all levels, as well as local communities, businesses, PHA residents, and society as a whole.  The report narrates and estimates the incidence, distribution, and scale of these impacts and compares them against the total amount cut from annual Capital Fund Program Grants, which fund maintenance and  modernization  of  public  housing  properties.  The  Public  and  Affordable  Housing  Research  Corporation  (PAHRC)  partnered  with  Econsult  Corporation  in  this  effort  to  inform  current  discussions  regarding  future  funding  cuts  by  HUD  to  PHAs  for  capital  expenditures,  by  identifying potential negative impacts resulting from these cuts, and attempting to quantify those impacts and compare them against the cut amounts.
