In response to a request from the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, we gathered and documented information from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding its lessons learned from the implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This initiative was led by the U.S. Department of Interior, Office of Inspector General (OIG). The objective of the initiative was to identify which actions, processes, and mechanisms have been beneficial or posed challenges to agencies and their respective OIGs in meeting the requirements of the Recovery Act.

We identified new monitoring tools and initiatives that HUD developed to monitor Recovery Act-funded programs as well as obstacles and challenges that HUD encountered. The initiative was informational in nature and contains no recommendations.
