Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) dramatically downsized its staff, however, its mission did not decrease. As a consequence, HUD relies more heavily on private contractors, and needs to hold its contractors accountable for results. GAO was asked to determine if HUD has processes and practices in place to effectively oversee contractors, strategically manages its acquisition workforce, and has management information systems that support its acquisition workforce. HUD's contracting has increased significantly in recent years. Although HUD has taken actions to improve its acquisition management--such as instituting full-time contract monitoring positions and improving its contracting information system--weaknesses remain that limit HUD's ability to identify and correct contractor performance problems, assure that it is receiving the services for which it pays, and hold contractors accountable for results. HUD, in particular, its multifamily housing program, does not employ processes and practices that could facilitate effective monitoring. For example, HUD's monitoring process does not consistently include the use of contract monitoring plans or risk-based strategies, or the tracking of contractor performance. HUD has not ensured that individuals responsible for managing and monitoring contracts have the appropriate workload, skills, and training that would enable them to effectively perform their jobs. For example, according to HUD's records, over half of the staff who are directly responsible for monitoring contractor performance have not received required acquisition training. HUD's management information systems do not adequately support its acquisition workforce in their efforts to manage and monitor contracts. Specifically, key information in HUD's contracting system is not reliable and HUD's financial systems do not readily provide complete and consistent contracting obligation and expenditure data.

Book excerpt: Why GAO Did This Study Through its $48 billion fiscal year 2016 budget, HUD administers a wide variety of programs that help millions of households obtain safe, decent, and affordable housing and that seek to build and strengthen communities. However, GAO and HUD's Office of Inspector General have identified management deficiencies that limit the effectiveness and efficiency of HUD's operations. For example, the Inspector General cited human capital management, financial management systems, and information security among the major management challenges facing HUD in fiscal year 2016 and beyond. GAO was asked to review HUD's management practices. This report examines HUD's efforts to (1) meet requirements and implement key practices for management functions, including financial, human capital, acquisition, and IT management; and (2) oversee and evaluate programs. GAO reviewed HUD policies and compared them with federal requirements, key practices, and internal control standards. GAO also interviewed HUD officials and industry stakeholders
