GAO Says HUD Should Take Action To Improve Program Oversight

摘要

HUD should take steps to improve its oversight of the community development block grant program, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which cited problems with data collection, monitoring, and enforcement. For example, in analyzing HUD's program oversight, the GAO found that the department doesn't centrally maintain the data to determine whether grantees comply with the spending limits on public services and administration and planning. By law, grantees generally can't spend more than 15 percent of their funds on public service activities or more than 20 percent on administration and planning.
