Subject: Results Act: Observations on the Department of Housing and
Urban Development's Draft Strategic Plan

On June 12, 1997, you asked us to review the draft strategic plans
submitted by the Cabinet departments and selected major agencies for
consultation with the Congress as required by the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the Results Act). This report is our
response to that request concerning the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD).

HUD is at a critical juncture in its history. The Department has been the
subject of sustained criticism for weaknesses in its management and
oversight abilities that have made it vulnerable to fraud, waste, abuse, and
mismanagement and have led to our designating it as a high-risk area. On
June 26, 1997, HUD announced its HUD 2020 Management Reform Plan to
address the ongoing operational, informational, and management
concerns. HUD based much of its July 14, 1997, draft strategic plan on the
proposals introduced in its management reform plan, which addresses
many of our concerns and could help HUD's attempts to resolve many of its
problems.
