- Troubled Asset Relief Program: Treasury Should Estimate Future Expenditures for the Making Home Affordable Program, GAO-16-351: Published: Mar 8, 2016. Publicly Released: Mar 8, 2016: “The U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) monitors activity and aggregate expenditures under its Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)-funded Making Home Affordable (MHA) program, but it has not instituted a system to review the extent that it will use the full available program balance ($7.7 billion as of October 16, 2015). In a July 2009 report, GAO found that Treasury’s estimates of program participation may have been overstated, reflecting uncertainty caused by data gaps and assumptions that had to be made, and recommended that Treasury periodically review and update its estimate.”
