the proposal was to cut more than $6 billion from the hud budget. now mind you, when reagan walked in the door in 1981, hud had about 16,000 employees. today it has less than 8000 and at the same time, the needs out there have grown. - well the population has grown, right? - population has grown and the needs have grown and this is a budget that would cut from the ability to provide for low-income and middle class americans housing opportunity, it also would impact things like meals on wheels, which is very popular and make sure that poor seniors have food to eat during the day, and so it's a very draconian compassionless budget that we haven't seen in a very long time. - you know, there are democrats i've had the opportunity to sit across from, some democrats including nancy pelosi recently, we interviewed her a couple weeks ago, and she said, "i can't believe i'm saying this, "but i miss georgew that, i s. - and she's not the only one to say that, i mean, there is this idea that somehow those of us who thought, not myself, but people who thought i

and hud from the street to the main offices. and there's been a lot of other groups also put a focus on veterans homelessness to the point that it's been reduced by 47%. can't gloat about that. but significant progress is being made. our homeless assistance grants requesting $2.25 billion, our emergency solutions grants $255 million will support over 350,000 in homeless shelters. so we're looking at that homelessness has been reduced from 800,000 to over 500,000. again, nothing to gloat about. but we're moving in the right direction. i think the housing first concept is an excellent concept. and the reason i say that is because somebody sleeping under a bridge they're likely to end a bridge, they're likely to end up in the emergency room. sometime in the course of that year. and be admitted to the hospital. a one-week stay in the hospital costs more than it costs to house them three years. so we have to look at the data and utilize that appropriately. so housing-first, i agree. we must also add housing-second and housing-third.

the borrower must complete a hud-approved counseling session -- >> ensuring the borrower and consumerhat they're going into, understands that they still own their home, understands that their balance is going up a little bit, and understands, most importantly, that they're responsible for paying taxes and insurance and maintaining the home. >> she would ask several different ways during the interview to make sure we were really clear on that our equity would go down as years went on. >> one of the perceptions is that those who are concerned about leaving their children something, they feel that their kids basically will get nothing. >> as with any -- any mortgage you have, the bottom line is you look to sell the home. whatever you sell it for less the mortgage payoff, that difference, that equity is left to the family, left to the kids, left to the heirs. >> clients, when i try and explain the benefits of a reverse mortgage, they say, "oh, no, i think they come and take your house away." well, we've lived in our home free for 12 months now. and we haven't made a payment. and our home

but, and here's a big but, like many financial products a reverse mortgage can be useful but those hudounselors they are not permitted nor are they qualified to give you, legal or financial advice and they don't operate under the fiduciary doody that means you are responsible for, determining if a reverse mortgages right for you or maybe if it might financially harm you over the long term. if you're considering a reverse mortgage you absolutely to have incorporate it into a comprehensive, financial plan, consult with an advisor who can determine fit is right for your circumstances, and for more on the pros and cons of reverse mortgages go to jill on money .com, sorry tom selleck but you should not be hawking these things. >> thank you. >> i'm telling you, they call the consumer line and over the years inn i'm like people don't understand basic finances, adding this thing it is like trouble. >> absolutely. >> those hud counselors don't have a fiduciary duty to you because is there nothing worse then thinking someone is protecting you when they may not be. so you have to do your own due

three and congress was thinking of changing the language in the assistant attorney general and the hud secretary said if you change that language it is a problem because then you cut back on standing so congress decided not to because it wanted to go to the limits of article iii. >> justice kagan even if all that is true with dad express vacation for the reason that. >> this is not expressed limitation that means we are doing away or keeping this. so that is the explicit statement the of that endangered species statute that any person meant in any person and did away with this soda ventris of year we have a congress of 1988 from title xii and many other statutes and it took the definition looked at by prior regulations to be examined by the court with that article three standing that is very different from the normal definition. >> it is not very different that is a plain jane definition but what you were talking about the endangered species act that is their interpretation so for the first time there is no damages statute that allows anybody to use do of their interpretations of now p

most are offered through hud and are guaranteed by fha. >> what are the pros and cons of these loans?rter: well, you know, look, they can be useful because reverse mortgage can help a retiree convert an ill liquid asset, a house into a liquid one and supplement retirement income while allowing you to remain in your home. so that sounds great. and like many financial products, a reverse mortgage can be useful. but! and here's your big but. hud counselors and folks who are selling these loans, they are not permitted nor are they qualified to give you any legal or financial advice. and also, they don't operate under the fiduciary duty. they are not putting your best interests first. so what does this mean? it means you, you yourself, you're responsible for determining if a reverse mortgage is right for you or conversely might financially harm you over the long term. that's why i recommend those who are considering a reverse mortgage, please, you have to incorporate into a larger comprehensive plan, consult with an adviser, a fiduciary adviser like a certified financial planner who can de

our job is to help distribute funds that hud and congress send to us for recovery from disasters. the governor, senator cassidy, the rest of the delegation have worked very hard to get some $1.7 billion allocated to the state of louisiana for recovery from the floods in march and august. our job now is to distribute that and get it to the people who need it. the biggest piece of that is our homeowner program. we have a program. if you are a homeowner and your primary residence was at home, and you flooded, with very -- we very potentially have funds to help you, even if you rebuilt. e ven if you make $1 million a year. even if you have not started. because of the last appropriation we just got, we have up until that point not accept it -- you were ineligible if you had structural flood insurance. now we are able to start opening the gate for even people who had flood insurance, but still have unmet needs. so my main message here today is, we have a survey, an online survey that is the first step in applying for assistance through this program. you have to fill out the survey. you
