Other Information:

As a part of the open government planning process, HUD will develop a communications plan that will provide an overall framework for managing and coordinating all communications that take place as part of its open government planning and implementation activities. The open government communications plan will help to achieve a proactive and targeted delivery of messages, and the effective and timely engagement of key stakeholders. It will also provide HUD's open government leaders with the information, strategies, and tactics necessary for effective communication about open government at the Department, and will keep audiences informed of ongoing open government activities throughout the fiscal year. The intent of the open government communications plan is to provide a roadmap for enhancing Department-wide awareness, education, understanding, and buy-in of open government. The open government communications plan will: •Serve as a framework for all open government communication activities across HUD •Assist with the implementation of the open government communications strategy •Educate stakeholders about their roles in implementing the plan and open government at large •Stimulate engagement and planning to ensure the optimal use of limited resources The open government communications plan is intended to be a living document that guides the Department in developing and implementing communications initiatives and products to provide stakeholders with accurate and timely information about HUD's open government activities. The tactical implementation plan will include options that can be refined and modified based on strategic, staffing, and resource considerations. As a result, the open government communications plan will be an important component of realizing culture change at HUD.
