ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Housing Programs Limited (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership which was formed under the laws of the State of California on May 15, 1984. On September 12, 1984, the Partnership offered 3,000 units consisting of 6,000 Limited Partnership Interests and warrants to purchase a maximum of 6,000 Additional Limited Partnership Interests through a public offering.
The general partners of the Partnership are National Partnership Investments Corp. ("NAPICO"), and Coast Housing Investment Associates ("CHIA") and Housing Programs Corporation II. CHIA is a limited partnership formed under the California Limited Partnership Act and consists of Messrs. Nicholas G. Ciriello, an unrelated individual, as general partner and Charles H. Boxenbaum, as limited partner. The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily by its general partners as Housing Programs Limited has no employees of its own.
Casden Investment Corporation owns 100 percent of NAPICO's stock. The current members of NAPICO's Board of Directors are Charles H. Boxenbaum, Bruce E. Nelson, Alan I. Casden, Henry C. Casden and Brian D. Goldberg. LB I Group Inc. owns all of the stock of Housing Programs Corporation II.
The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in eighteen local limited partnerships (referred herein as the "local" or "lower-tier" limited partnerships) as of December 31, 1996. National Partnership Investments Associates II ("NPIA II"), a limited partnership formed under the California Limited Partnership Act and consisting of Messrs. Charles H. Boxenbaum, general partner, and Nicholas G. Ciriello, limited partner, hold a general partnership interest in ten of the local limited partnerships. The remaining local partnerships general partners are unaffiliated with the Partnership. Each of the local partnerships owns a low income housing project which is subsidized and/or has a mortgage note payable to or insured by agencies of the federal or local government.
In order to stimulate private investment in low income housing, the federal government and certain state and local agencies provided ownership incentives, including among others, interest subsidies, rent supplements, and mortgage insurance, with the intent of reducing certain market risks and providing investors with certain tax benefits, plus limited cash distributions and the possibility of long-term capital gains. There remains, however, significant risks associated with the ownership of low income housing projects. The long-term nature of investments in government assisted housing limits the ability of the Partnership to vary its portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions; such investments are also subject to changes in local economic circumstances and housing patterns, as well as rising operating costs, vacancies, rent collection difficulties, energy shortages and other factors which have an impact on real estate values. These projects also require greater management expertise and may have higher operating expenses than conventional housing projects.
The Partnership became the limited partner in the local limited partnerships pursuant to arm's-length negotiations with the local limited partnerships' general partners who are often the original project developers. In certain other cases, the Partnership invested in newly formed local limited partnerships which, in turn, acquired the projects. As a limited partner, the Partnership's liability for obligations of the local limited partnership is limited to its investment. The general partner of the local limited partnership retains responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the project. Under certain circumstances, the Partnership has the right to replace the general partner of the limited partnerships.
Although each of the partnerships in which the Partnership has invested will generally own a project which must compete in the market place for tenants, interest subsidies and rent supplements from governmental agencies make it possible to offer these dwelling units to eligible "low income" tenants at a cost significantly below the market rate for comparable conventionally financed dwelling units in the area. During 1996, all of the projects in which the Partnership had invested were substantially rented. The following is a schedule of the status, as of December 31, 1996, of the projects owned by local partnerships in which the Partnership has invested.

ITEM 5.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
The Limited Partnership Interests are not traded on a public exchange, and it is not anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of any Limited Partnership Interest. Limited Partnership Interests may be transferred only if certain requirements are satisfied. Currently, there are 2,870 registered holders of Limited Partnership Interests in the Partnership. The Partnership has invested in certain government assisted projects under programs which in many instances restrict the cash return available to project owners. The Partnership was not designed to provide cash distributions to investors in circumstances other than refinancing or dispositions of its investments in limited partnerships. ITEM 6.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
LIQUIDITY
The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income on money market accounts and certificates of deposit and distributions from local partnerships in which the Partnership has invested. It is not expected that any of the local partnerships in which the Partnership has invested will generate cash flow sufficient to provide for distributions to the Partnership's limited partners in any material amount.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership received $30,920,000 in subscriptions for units of Limited Partnership Interests (at $5,000 per unit) during the period September 12, 1984, to June 30, 1986, pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-11.
The Partnership made its capital contributions to the local limited partnerships in stages, over a period of two to five years, with each contribution due on a specified date, provided that certain conditions regarding construction or operation of the project were fulfilled. The Partnership has no further capital commitments to the local limited partnerships.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership was formed to provide various benefits to its partners as discussed in Item 1. It is anticipated that the local partnerships in which the Partnership has invested could produce losses for as long as 20 years from the date of the Partnership investment. Tax benefits will decline over time as the advantages of accelerated depreciation are greatest in the earlier years, as deductions for interest expense decrease as mortgage principal is amortized and as the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the deductions available. The Partnership has sought to defer income taxes from capital gains by generally not selling any projects or project interests.
Each individual limited partner's situation varies and limited partners should contact their personal tax advisors for an understanding of his or her tax situation.
The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the local limited partnerships. Equity in income (loss) of limited partnerships has significantly been affected as a result of the Partnership not recognizing losses on the limited partnerships after their respective investment balances have been reduced to zero, in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as return of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative amount equal to future capital contributions required. Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.
Except for certificates of deposit and money market funds, the Partnership's investments are entirely interests in other limited partnerships owning government assisted projects. Available cash is invested providing interest income as reflected in the statements of operations. These funds can be converted to cash to meet obligations as they arise. The Partnership intends to continue investing available funds in this manner.
The Montecito local partnership had been operating at a deficit, and the General Partner of the Montecito Local Partnership was unsuccessful in its attempt to negotiate a mortgage modification with the lender to improve the situation. No mortgage payments were made subsequent to May 1994 and the mortgage was in default. On July 18, 1995, the property was foreclosed by the lender. The Partnership's original investment in the Montecito local partnership represented approximately 5% of the Partnership's total capital raised. The Partnership's financial statements reflect no investment in the Montecito Local Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
The lower-tier partnership that owns the Deep Lake Hermitage Apartments has entered into a contract for the sale of Deep Lake Hermitage. There is a $1,500,000 note payable (which note matured in October, 1996) by the Partnership to a seller of interests in the lower-tier partnership that owns the Deep Lake Hermitage property. The total outstanding balance of the note, including accrued interest of $1,635,346, at December 31, 1996 is approximately $3,135,346, which is currently due and payable. Based on the current estimated value of the Deep Lake Hermitage property, the sale will not generate sufficient funds to fully repay the note payable. The Partnership has entered into an agreement with the noteholders who will accept a reduced payment of $1,000,000 together with net cash flow generated by the project since October, 1996 in full satisfaction of all obligations in order to enable the sale of the project. The project is in the process of being sold for $4,800,000, which is scheduled to be completed in August, 1997. Because the note and interest payable are non-recourse liabilities, a gain on debt forgiveness is expected to be realized by the Partnership upon sale of the property. However, if the sale is not completed, the assignment of the Partnership's interest in Deep Lake Hermitage Apartments will be delivered to the noteholders, resulting in the loss of the Partnership's interest in the Deep Lake Local Partnership. The Partnership's carrying value of the investment in the Deep Lake Local Partnership is approximately $980,000.
A recurring Partnership expense is the asset management fee, which is payable monthly to the general partners of the Partnership and is calculated as a percentage of the Partnership's invested assets. The management fee is paid to the general partners for their continuing management of Partnership affairs. The fee is payable beginning with the month following the Partnership's initial investment in a local partnership. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, $1,317,000 and $990,000 respectively, is owed to the general partners.
Operating expenses of the Partnership consist substantially of professional fees for services rendered to the Partnership, management fees payable to the general partners and accrued interest on the notes payable. Operating expenses have remained relatively consistent for 1996, 1995 and 1994, except for legal fees which increased as a result of the Montecito foreclosure.
The Partnership, as a Limited Partner in the local partnerships in which it has invested, is subject to the risks incident to the construction, management, and ownership of improved real estate. The Partnership investments are also subject to adverse general economic conditions, and, accordingly, the status of the national economy, including substantial unemployment and concurrent inflation, could increase vacancy levels, rental payment defaults, and operating expenses, which in turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the projects.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Housing Programs Limited (a California limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index on item 14.

The investments in these limited partnerships represent 27 percent and 30 percent of total assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the equity in income (loss) of these limited partnerships represent 23 percent, 15 percent and 11 percent of the total net loss of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and represent a substantial portion of the investee information in Note 2 and the financial statement schedules. The financial statements of these limited partnerships are audited by other auditors. Their reports have been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these limited partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Housing Programs Limited as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Housing Programs Limited (the "Partnership"), formed under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act, was organized on May 15, 1984. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships which own or lease and operate federal, state or local government-assisted housing projects. The general partners of the Partnership are National Partnership Investments Corp. (NAPICO), and Coast Housing Investment Associates (CHIA), a limited partnership and Housing Programs Corporation II. Casden Investment Corp. owns 100 percent of NAPICO's stock. The limited partner of CHIA is an officer of NAPICO.
The Partnership offered and issued 6,184 units of limited partnership interests through a public offering. Each unit was comprised of two limited partnership interests and one warrant, which entitled the investor two additional limited partnership interests. An additional 6,184 of interests were issued from the exercise of warrants and the sale of interests associated with warrants not exercised. The general partners have a 1 percent interest in profits and losses of the Partnership. The limited partners have the remaining 99 percent interest in proportion to their respective investments.
The Partnership shall be dissolved only upon the expiration of 50 complete calendar years (December 31, 2034) from the date of the formation of the Partnership or upon the occurrence of various other events as described in the terms of the Partnership agreement.
Upon total or partial liquidation of the Partnership or the disposition or partial disposition of a project or project interest and distribution of the proceeds, the general partners will be entitled to a liquidation fee as stipulated in the Partnership agreement. The limited partners will have a priority return equal to their invested capital attributable to the project(s) or project interest(s) sold and shall receive from the sale of the project(s) or project interest(s) an amount sufficient to pay state and federal income taxes, if any, calculated at the maximum rate then in effect. The general partners' liquidation fee may accrue but shall not be paid until the limited partners have received distributions equal to 100 percent of their capital contributions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships
The investments in local limited partnerships are accounted for on the equity method. Acquisition, selection and other costs related to the acquisition of the projects have been capitalized to the investment
HOUSING PROGRAMS LIMITED (a California limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
account and are being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated lives of the underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.
Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Interest
Net loss per limited partnership interest was computed by dividing the limited partners' share of net loss by the number of limited partnership interests outstanding during the year. The number of limited partnership interests was 12,368 for all years presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less. The Partnership has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit primarily with one money market mutual fund. Such cash and cash equivalents are uninsured.
Short Term Investments
Short term investments consist of bank certificates of deposit and other securities with original maturities ranging from more than three months to twelve months. The fair value of these securities, which have been classified as held for sale, approximates their carrying value.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss.
2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
The Partnership now holds limited partnership interests in 18 limited partnerships. The partnerships own residential rental projects consisting of 2,686 apartment units. The mortgage loans of these projects are insured by various governmental agencies.
The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to 99 percent of the profits and losses of the limited partnerships.
Equity in losses of limited partnerships is recognized in the financial statements until the limited partnership investment account is reduced to a zero balance. Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized. The cumulative amount of unrecognized equity in losses of certain limited partnerships was approximately $11,603,000 and $10,273,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
HOUSING PROGRAMS LIMITED (a California limited partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1996
2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
Distributions from the limited partnerships are recognized as a reduction of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative amount equal to further capital contributions required. Subsequent distributions are recognized as income.
The following is a summary of the investments in limited partnerships and reconciliation to the limited partnership accounts:
The difference between the investment per the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the equity per the limited partnerships' combined financial statements is due primarily to cumulative unrecognized equity in losses of certain limited partnerships, costs capitalized to the investment account and cumulative distributions recognized as income.
Selected financial information from the combined financial statements of the limited partnerships at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 is as follows:

Statements of Operations
An affiliate of NAPICO is the general partner in 10 of the limited partnerships included above and another affiliate of NAPICO receives property management fees of approximately 5 to 6 percent of revenues from five of these partnerships. The affiliate received property management fees of $244,827, $234,903 and $236,149 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The following sets forth the significant data for these partnerships, reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting:
The Montecito local partnership had been operating at a deficit, and the general partner was unsuccessful in its attempt to negotiate a mortgage modification with the lender to improve the situation. No mortgage

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1996
2. INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
payments to the lender were made subsequent to May 1994 and the mortgage was in default. On July 18, 1995, the property was foreclosed by the lender. The Partnership's original investment in the Montecito local partnership represents approximately 5% of the Partnership's total capital raised. The Partnership's financial statements reflect no investment in Montecito at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
3. NOTES PAYABLE
Certain of the Partnership's investments involved purchases of partnership interests from partners who subsequently withdrew from the operating partnership. The Partnership is obligated for non-recourse notes payable of $10,169,743 to the sellers of the partnership interests, bearing interest at 9.5 percent through December 31, 1994. Effective January 1, 1995, the interest rate for two notes totaling $1,500,000 changed to 12.5 percent per terms of the note. The notes have principal maturity dates ranging from October 31, 1996 to December 2001 or upon sale or refinancing of the underlying partnership properties. These obligations and the related interest are collateralized by the Partnership's investment in the investee limited partnerships and are payable only out of cash distributions from the investee partnerships, as defined in the notes. Unpaid interest is due at maturity of the notes.
The lower-tier partnership that owns the Deep Lake Hermitage Apartments has entered into a contract for the sale of Deep Lake Hermitage. There is a $1,500,000 note payable (which note matured in October, 1996) by the Partnership to a seller of interests in the lower-tier partnership that owns the Deep Lake Hermitage property. The total outstanding balance of the note, including accrued interest of $1,635,346, at December 31, 1996 is approximately $3,135,346, which is currently due and payable. Based on the current estimated value of the Deep Lake Hermitage property, the sale will not generate sufficient funds to fully repay the note payable. The Partnership has entered into an agreement with the noteholders who will accept a reduced payment of $1,000,000 together with net cash flow generated by the project since October, 1996 in full satisfaction of all obligations in order to enable the sale of the project. The project is in the process of being sold for $4,800,000, which is scheduled to be completed in August, 1997. Because the note and interest payable are non-recourse liabilities, a gain on debt forgiveness is expected to be realized by the Partnership upon sale of the property. However, if the sale is not completed, the assignment of the Partnership's interest in Deep Lake Hermitage Apartments will be delivered to the noteholders, resulting in the loss of the Partnership's interest in the Deep Lake Local Partnership. The Partnership's carrying value of the investment in the Deep Lake Local Partnership is approximately $980,000.

Maturity dates on the notes and related accrued interest payable are as follows:
4. FEES AND EXPENSES DUE GENERAL PARTNERS
Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of the Limited Partnership, the Partnership is obligated to the general partners for an annual asset management fee equal to .5% of the original invested assets of the limited partnerships. Invested assets is defined as the costs of acquiring project interests including the proportionate amount of the mortgage loans related to the Partnership's interest in the capital accounts of the respective limited partnerships.
As of December 31, 1996, the fees and expenses due the general partners exceeded the Partnership's cash. The general partners, during the forthcoming year, will not demand payment of amounts due in excess of such cash or such that the Partnership would not have sufficient operating cash; however, the Partnership will remain liable for all such amounts.
The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The reimbursement to NAPICO was $9,948, $29,845 and $28,764 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and is included in operating expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1996
5. INCOME TAXES
No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the individual partners. The major differences in tax and financial reporting result from the use of different bases and depreciation methods for the properties held by the limited partnerships. Differences in tax and financial reporting also arise as losses are not recognized for financial reporting purposes when the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a negative amount equal to further capital contributions required.
6. CONTINGENCIES
NAPICO is a plaintiff in various lawsuits and has also been named as a defendant in other lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management and NAPICO, the claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, when it is practicable to estimate that value. The notes payable are collateralized by the Partnership's investments in investee limited partnerships and are payable only out of cash distributions from the investee
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
partnerships. The operations generated by the investee limited partnerships, which account for the Partnership's primary source of revenues, are subject to various government rules, regulations and restrictions which make it impracticable to estimate the fair value of the notes payable and related accrued interest. The carrying amount of other assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such disclosure approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.
8. FOURTH-QUARTER ADJUSTMENT
The Partnership's policy is to record its equity in the loss of limited partnerships on a quarterly basis using estimated financial information furnished by the various local operating general partners. The equity in income (loss) of limited partnerships reflected in the accompanying financial statements is based primarily upon audited financial statements of the investee limited partnerships. The difference, $28,893, between the estimated nine-month equity in income and the actual 1996 year-to-date equity in loss has been recorded in the fourth quarter.
