As agreed with your office, we reviewed HUD's fiscal year 1999 annual performance plan. This report provides our observations on whether the plan fulfills the requirements of the Results Act. RESULTS IN BRIEF Although HUD's annual performance plan includes information in each of the areas required by the Results Act, it does not present a clear picture of what HUD expects to achieve with the funds its receives for its program activities. The plan does not cover all the program activities in HUD's budget, and consolidations and aggregations of program activities are not clearly explained within the plan. While the plan refers to some of HUD's crosscutting activities, it does not fully discuss how HUD will coordinate with other agencies having related goals or define its contributions to the crosscutting activities. The plan discusses the programs that fall under each of HUD's strategic objectives but '31 U.S.C. 1115, Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, sec. 4, Annual Performance Plans and Reports.
