A story in Friday's Maryland section misrepresented the conditions of a settlement between the Baltimore Housing Authority and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development over a 1994 audit of the authority. Instead of requiring the Housing Authority to return disputed excess spending to HUD, the federal agency forced the authority to transfer $343,400 in earnings into an authority account to improve city public housing.

The Sun regrets the errors.
