10.5: Compliance Burdens

Reduce meaningless compliance burdens

Other Information:

The current consolidated planning process contributes little of value. States and communities spend millions of their block grant dollars to produce Consolidated Plans (many of more than 200 pages) that are hardly looked at by HUD and not useful to communities. Dollars invested in meaningless paperwork could be used instead to measure the progress communities are making in revitalizing low-income areas. The Expected Results — By 2003, HUD will work with local stakeholders to streamline the Consolidated Plan, making it more results-oriented and useful to communities in assessing their own progress toward addressing the problems of low-income areas.
