We noted that although CDAs were reporting to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on most projects or activities funded totally, or in part, with supplemental funds, they did not report on projects funded from other Federal, State and/or local sources. Our work was performed at the headquarters of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, at HUD regional offices in Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; and San Francisco, California; and at the following model cities: Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Hunts- ville, Alabama; and Seattle, Washington. Because the overall model cities' reporting system is being revised by HUD, we are providing the results of our review and our views for your consideration prior to approving final revisions in the reporting guidelines and requirements. CDA Letter Number 9, dated April 1969, which instructed cities on the collection and reporting of project data, required, among other things, that cities provide to HUD--on a quarterly basis--work program and accrued cost data for model city projects and activities that were totally or partially funded with HUD supplemental funds. In addition, cities were strongly encouraged by the Department to collect data and report on the other model neighborhood projects included in the cities' comprehensive demonstration plans. According to HUD, this information was to be used in its monitoring of the Model Cities Program for such purposes as helping the Department identify actions which might be needed to ensure that an adequate level of Federal support is provided to the individual cities' programs and in order to measure the oper- ating performance of projects in each city's program against planned output. We noted that the quarterly reports submitted to HUD by CDAs in Atlanta, Chicago, Huntsville, and Seattle for the period ending 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971
