Report Date	Feb. 12, 1997
Report No.	RCED-97-34
Subject	Community development programs Federal agency reorganization Financial management systems Housing programs Employee training Staff utilization Internal controls Management information systems Public housing GAO High Risk Program

Summary:

In 1994, GAO designated the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) a high-risk area because of deficiencies that made it vulnerable to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. These deficiencies were an ineffective organizational structure, insufficient staff skills, inadequate information and financial management systems, and weak internal controls. Since then, HUD has begun to (1) redesign its field structure, (2) increase its training efforts, (3) improve and integrate its management information systems, and (4) implement a new management approach that balances risks with results. In preparing its February 1997 high-risk series, GAO conducted a telephone survey of 155 directors in four of HUD's major program areas--single-family housing, multifamily housing, public housing, and community planning and development--at the agency's 40 largest field offices. This report discusses the directors' views on the corrective measures HUD has undertaken during the past two years.
