Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD or Department) Office of
Inspector General (OIG) provides the Department with a memorandum of priority open
recommendations the OIG issued in its reports. The OIG designated these recommendations as
“priority” because, if implemented, the recommendations will have the most significant impact on
increasing efficiency in HUD programs, reducing fraud and wasteful spending, and assisting HUD with
addressing its top management challenges.
