2.4: Policies and Practices
Identify and Update Outdated Policies and Practices Other Information:
HUD will begin a comprehensive program dedicated to identifying and updating outdated policies, regulations, and practices
that no longer bring mission value and that are needlessly hindering the Department's performance. These barriers to progress
exist at the Federal, state, and local levels, and will require that HUD adopt a targeted and balanced effort to address them.
Modifying outdated rules and regulations will not only increase HUD's efficiency, but also help in changing the Department's
culture to one that is more proactive in identifying mission impediments and more flexible in serving its customers. This
may include the use of social media tools, such as Youtube, to post archived video recordings of all of HUD's public meetings
or current processes. This initiative is fully in keeping with HUD's strategic plan, and it will involve all functional areas
within the Department. External stakeholders, public participants, and HUD's employees who adhere to outdated policies will
aid in their identification. This will require HUD to engage with relevant stakeholder groups and publish its current policies,
processes, and regulations for public comment in order to identify inefficient ones that can be updated.
