The Departmshtof Housing :nd Urban Development (HUD)
is required to deter Ls whether grantees have a continuing
capacity to carry !Rr approved community development
Proqrams in a timely manner. However, some communities have
budgeted funds for th Same projects in their first-yeaL,
second-year, and thi2-Iyear applications in spite of the fact
that, at the time th,41-year funds were requested and budgeted,
little or none of thojiist-year and tecond-year funds had bfn
spent on the projects, DJJD ha- developed warious critexia for
determining whether ko Wunities move fcrward on approved
projects; one is an gn lysis of tangitle evidence of
acc-,mplishment and a4'iMer is comparison of progress made by
comparable ronmunities. HUD should: determine whether grantees
will be able to spend ftnds budgeted for particular projects in
the budgeted period and d;scourage grantees from requesting
additional funding for these projects in subsequent applications
unless spendinq of the additional funds can De reasonably
assured; and withhold approval of new funds for continuing
projects when spending on these projects is low and no
reasonable assuranc-.ex ists that requested funds will be spent
in the upcoming year. ,4Autho-/HTW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawoo0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
