so what is hud doing about that? that's why we have requested additional section 8 vouchers, for instance because we lost 67,000 section 8 vouchers to sequestration. it's why we seek to stretch our resources as far as we can through initiatives like rad. it's why we believe in properly funding both capital and operating for public housing and why we look to the innovative and -- be innovative in communities with initiatives like choice neighborhoods and promise zones. we want to take a wholistic approach to making more affordable housing opportunities possible for americans. and as i mentioned early on right now we're only serving one out of every four people that qualifies for hud services. so we see that there is that tremendous need out there and we want to do something about it. >> national housing trust fund. we have a deficit of over seven million affordable available units and we all know that barney frank worked very hard i worked with him, to get the national housing trust fund we feel don't seem to have muc

so what is hud doing?that's why we've requested additional section eight vouchers, for instance, because we lost 67,000 section eight vouchers through sequestration. it's why we seek to stretch our resources as far as we can to initiatives like brad it's why we believe improperly funding both capital and operating for public housing -- rad but look to the innovative and committed with initiatives like choice neighborhoods and promise zone's. we want to take a holistic approach to making more of horrible housing opportunities possible for americans. and as i mentioned early on right now we are only serving one out of every four people that qualifies for hud services. so we see there is about tremendous need and want to do something about it.
