Our opinion in Thompson I documented the critical financial deterioration which beset NCHA in the years preceding the 1970 rent increase, and which we characterized as a prime example of “the current financial crisis generally affecting public housing.” See 497 F.2d at 629-30. By October of 1969, NCHA’s reserve funds had been completely exhausted by operating deficits, and the rent increase was made in order to satisfy HUD’s demand that NCHA devise a rent schedule which would generate sufficient income to assure NCHA’s financial stability. Earlier in the year, HUD had rejected NCHA’s budget proposal since projected operating and maintenance costs exceeded projected income.
