    Funds Put to Better Use

    Recommendations that funds be put to better use estimate funds that could be used more efficiently. For example, recommendations that funds be put to better use could result in reductions in spending, deobligation of funds, or avoidance of unnecessary spending.

    Summary

    We recommend that HUD’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Grant Programs instruct State officials to provide documentation that the selection of the appraiser in Staten Island was consistent with the other State agency’s contract provisions. If such documentation cannot be provided, the $1,093,290 budgeted should be deobligated, thus ensuring that the funds will be put to better use.
